    Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Joey Bart has been activated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a left thumb injury.

    Bart, who last played for Pittsburgh on May 26, went 6-for-17 during a six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis.

    The Pirates acquired Bart, 27, in an April 2 trade, sending right-hander Austin Strickland to the San Francisco Giants . The 2018 No. 2 draft pick out of Georgia Tech, Bart failed to catch on with the Giants as Buster Posey 's successor.

    In 22 games before the injury, Bart was batting .267 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 22 games. In 184 career games, he has a .224 average with 15 homers, 50 RBIs and 197 strikeouts.

    In a corresponding move, the Pirates sent catcher Jason Delay, 29, to Indianapolis.
