Vogt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-2 win over the Astros on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt got the start Wednesday with Oakland's No. 1 catcher Sean Murphy taking the day off. The veteran backstop teamed up with Stephen Piscotty for back-to-back solo shots off Cristian Javier in the second inning. Vogt has played in 33 games this season and is slashing .153/.227/.329 in 85 at-bats.

Vogt entered Sunday's win over the Astros as a pinch hitter in the top of the sixth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 1-for-1 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran is on pace for his third straight season with a sub-.200 batting average, but Sunday brought him a rare taste of offensive success. Vogt made clutch contributions in each of his two plate appearances, with his sixth-inning sacrifice fly bringing home Seth Brown to knot the game at 3-3. The 37-year-old then followed up with an eighth-inning single that plated Chad Pinder with what would prove to be the game-winning run. Five of Vogt's nine RBI this season have come in the last six games.

Vogt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt opened the scoring with a sac fly in the first inning, and his sixth-inning solo shot was the last run in the contest. He's seen inconsistent playing time since returning from a knee injury in June, and he's hit just .200 (9-for-45) in that span. The veteran catcher owns a .169/.242/.373 slash line with four homers, six RBI and eight runs scored through 66 plate appearances as backup to the Athletics' top catcher, Sean Murphy.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt recently had a stretch of five consecutive starts -- four of which came as a designated hitter -- but he's expected to see most of his time behind the plate moving forward after top DH Jed Lowrie rejoined the lineup Saturday. Lowrie will start again Sunday, leaving no room in the lineup for Vogt once again.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt had started each of Oakland's last five games, serving as a designated hitter on four occasions while top DH Jed Lowrie has been sidelined with wrist and shoulder injuries. Lowrie remains out of the lineup Thursday, but with southpaw Rich Hill on the bump for Boston, the lefty-hitting Vogt will retreat to the bench.

Vogt went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and two walks in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt spared the Athletics from the ignominy of a shutout with his eighth-inning blast off Nick Pivetta, the veteran's third round tripper of the season. Two of those homers have come in the last three games, a span during which Vogt is 4-for-8 with two walks, a hit by pitch and three total runs.

Vogt will serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and No. 7 hitter in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt will stay in the lineup for the fourth game in a row and is receiving his third turn as a DH during that stretch while Jed Lowrie continues to nurse a wrist injury. The 37-year-old has gone 3-for-11 with a solo home run during the past three games, with all three of his hits coming in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Guardians.

Vogt went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's victory over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt launched a solo shot in the eighth inning after scoring on a throwing error in the seventh. This was the catcher's third game back after spending time on the IL for a sprained MCL. He went hitless in his first two games back but made up for it with three hits in Saturday's game. Perhaps Vogt will continue to improve as he gets more time at the plate.

Vogt (knee) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vogt had been sidelined by a sprained right knee since late April. He didn't have time to make a meaningful impact before getting hurt, going 1-for-14 with a homer in limited action. He'll serve as Sean Murphy's backup behind the plate going forward.

Vogt (knee) is 2-for-6 with a solo home run over his last two rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop put in five innings behind the plate in an 11-inning win over Sacramento on Tuesday, and he logged another five frames at first base in Wednesday's victory over the River Cats. Having seemingly emerged from those two tests without any setbacks, Vogt may be deemed ready for activation in coming days.
