Austin Barnes returns to Dodgers as Russell Martin lands on bereavement list

LOS ANGELES – No, Austin Barnes didn’t enter into the Witness Protection Program after he was demoted to Triple-A last month. Under the stipulations of Major League Baseball’s dress code for Players’ Weekend, Barnes returned to the Dodgers wearing an all-white uniform and a pseudonym – Sam – on the back of his jersey.
Barnes backed up Will Smith on Saturday and will catch Clayton Kershaw on Sunday after Russell Martin was placed on the bereavement list. Manage
