Bart was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Cubs' Yan Gomes: Sitting out Wednesday
Gomes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

It marks the fourth straight game that Tauchman has been absent from the lineup. Three of them have been against lefties -- Wednesday included -- but the presence of Pete Crow-Armstrong and also Christopher Morel heating back up could conspire to force Tauchman to the bench more often than not.

Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Goes yard in win
Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.
