4/12/25 | Roki Sasaki-Austin Barnes pairing is nothing personal, Dodgers' Dave Roberts says. LOS ANGELES — It's more than a coincidence. But it's less than a commitment. For the second consecutive start, Austin Barnes was paired with Roki Sasaki. Barnes has also caught Sasaki's bullpens recently. But he is not Sasaki's 'personal catcher,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “They've spent a lot of time together,” Roberts acknowledged. “It's not like a dedicated battery at all. But I just felt that Roki had a good one over there (in Philadelphia). There's some familiarity, and let's kind of just go with that for a little bit. “I don't want to box myself in. Will's our starting catcher. So when you start playing that game and then you box yourself in. I'm not going to do that.” Will Smith Source: https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2025/04/12/roki-... |

9/15/24 | Dodgers Injuries: Austin Barnes Removed From Sunday Night Baseball Game.

1/18/24 | 2023 Los Angeles Dodgers Player Reviews: Austin Barnes. Austin Barnes was among the several Los Angeles Dodgers who played in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, and while that entailed taking on a starting role with Team Mexico, he again was limited to time off the bench once the regular season came around. Barnes' struggles to contribute much offensively prompted the Dodgers to explore a trade for another catcher, which manager Dave Roberts revealed once the deadline passed. Roberts nevertheless continued to praise Barnes for his work with the pitching staff and expressed confidence he would improve with the bat. There were some flashes of that but Barnes finished the 2023 season batting .180/.256/.242 with five doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI over 59 games.

11/07/23 | 2023 Dodgers in review: Austin Barnes. It was a rough year offensively for Austin Barnes in 2023. The Dodgers never seemed to waver from their support of Barnes even when his offensive struggles and his inability to prevent stolen bases under MLB's new runner-friendly rules spurred a lot of flak from the fan base. As the backup catcher to starter Will Smith, Barnes is mostly used as Clayton Kershaw's personal catcher or to give Smith some rest every few days. Barnes hit well in his first full season in 2017 (.289/.408/.486 with eight home runs), but he has struggled to find that same consistent offensive results since.
