Vogt (elbow) has begun taking live batting practice and is on track to return during Oakland's second week of spring training games, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran catcher continues to make progress from offseason elbow surgery and has now begun taking live batting practice. The A's start their spring training exhibition schedule Thursday against the Angels, so the expectation is for Vogt to be on the diamond at some point next week provided he continues his rehab with no setbacks.
