Barnhart is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.
This will be the second time in the last three games that Barnhart will get the day off in favor of Ramon Cabrera. The 25-year-old has struggled recently, going 0-for-14 in his last four starts. On the season, Barnhart is hitting .239 with two home runs and 10 RBI and will likely be back in the lineup for Saturday's game.
