Clint Barmes News: Barmes, who went 1-for-3 with an intentional walk Friday, is batting .375 (9-for-24) since July 8.

Barmes, who went 1-for-3 with an intentional walk Friday, is batting .375 (9-for-24) since July 8.

The injury to Neil Walker (oblique) opened up regular playing time to the veteran shortstop, and Barmes has taken advantage. Although Walker is expected to return to the lineup Monday or Tuesday, fantasy owners still have the weekend to use Barmes. For the season, Barmes has compiled the worst numbers of his career -- .222/.256/.294 in 194 at-bats. Pittsburgh will likely move Jordy Mercer back to shortstop from second base when Walker is activated, limiting Barmes' at-bats.
