EDGE Analysis

Phegley was placed on the 7-day concussion DL on May 4, but isn't expected to miss more than the minimum stint. Upon activation, Phegley will likely slot back in as the backup catcher while Bruce Maxwell could be sent back to Triple-A Nashville.

Phegley (concussion) caught a pair of bullpen sessions Saturday and is recovering well from his concussion, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The backup catcher is on the 7-day DL stemming from the effects of a ball hitting his face mask last Wednesday. Saturday's news is a step in the right direction towards a prompt return to action, although Phegley will naturally continue to ramp up his activity in the coming days before a final decision is made on a return date.

Phegley (concussion) was placed on the 7-day DL on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley was lifted from Wednesday's game after taking a pitch directly off his face mask, and was later diagnosed with a concussion, so this move was expected. Bruce Maxwell was recalled in a corresponding move to serve as the backup catcher while Phegley is on the shelf.

Phegley is expected to go on the disabled list with a concussion, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley was pulled from the game and later diagnosed with a concussion after taking a pitch straight off his face mask. The catcher said he felt good afterwards, which is encouraging news, though he is still expected to land on the DL. Bruce Maxwell will likely be recalled to serve as the backup catcher while Phegley is on the mend.

Phegley smacked a pinch-hit solo home run to account for Oakland's only run in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The reserve backstop picked a fine time for his first long ball of the season, snapping a scoreless tie in the 10th inning. While the Angels went on to tie and eventually win the game in the 11th, the homer extended a modest offensive surge for Phegley, who's now hit safely in three of his last four games and compiled three RBI over that span.

Phegley went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop helped set the pace for the Oakland offense early, blasting a Martin Perez pitch to right center that drove in Khris Davis and Ryon Healy. Phegley has received very sporadic playing time thus far this season, with Wednesday marking just his fourth start. The 29-year-old brings some decent pop, but barring an injury to Stephen Vogt, he may not get enough at-bats to warrant consideration outside of very deep formats.

Phegley is expected to be in the Athletics' lineup against Astros on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley frequently starts when the Athletics face left-handed pitchers, which is why it makes sense that he's slated to be behind the plate on Friday when Oakland faces off against lefty Dallas Keuchel. The veteran catcher is off to a decent start this season, hitting for a .286 batting average so far in seven plate appearances.

Phegley went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old backstop got his first two hits of the season in what was only his second game overall. Phegley got the starting call with Rangers lefty Martin Perez on the mound and will continue filling the short side of a platoon with Stephen Vogt. He'll look to boost his batting average for the fourth consecutive season after slashing .256/.314/.372 over 86 plate appearances in an injury-shortened 2016.
