Update: Austin Barnes is dealing with back tightness, per Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
they should permanently scratch him
Totally agree. The only reason he is still on the team is because he is Kershaw’s favorite catcher.
I hope he was scratched indefinitely, or permanently. He is the only offensive hole in the lineup (worse than Rojas, who makes up for it on defense), a dependable out for whoever we are playing against. Thank him for his service, and trade him to a needy team for prospects.
