Phegley (concussion) will miss the rest of the season, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected after Billy Butler accidentally made contact with Phegley's head during batting practice, worsening the catcher's existing concussion-related symptoms. Stephen Vogt could return to the catching duties sometime this weekend, with Carson Blair and Bryan Anderson sharing the duties in the short term.

Phegley (concussion) was inadvertently hit in the head during batting practice Tuesday and may not play again this season, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley was already dealing with a concussion, so Tuesday's incident likely made matters worse. Stephen Vogt, Carson Blair and Bryan Anderson are all on the roster to handle the catching duties down the stretch.

Phegley (concussion) is out of the lineup Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A late scratch from Friday's lineup, Phegley was apparently hit in the back of the head with a bat during batting practice and suffered a concussion, according to Chandler Rome of MLB.com. The severity of the concussion is uncertain, but with Stephen Vogt (groin) also hurt, the A's will have to lean heavily on Carson Blair behind the plate.

Phegley had a big night on Tuesday, hitting his fourth homer while driving in three. Phegley was in the lineup due to Stehepn Vogt's elbow soreness and took full advantage. He homered in the fifth inning and then tied the game in the sixth inning with a double over the center fielder's head. Phegley has not had a lot of playing time, but has managed to hit .297 while also throwing out 43% of would be base stealers when he is in the lineup.

Phegley provided the whole of the Oakland offense Thursday by going 1-for-2 with a solo homer in a 3-1 loss to the Padres. Curiously, the A's pinch hit for Phegley late in the game despite the success he'd experienced both against San Diego starter Ian Kennedy and in general this year, as the backup catcher now owns a .286 average and .825 OPS. It could be that he's starting to realize the potential he showed in the minors, but Phegley may not see enough playing time for that to matter.

Phegley went 1-for-3 in the loss to Houston on Wednesday. He's now hitting .244/.304/.341 this season, working mostly in a platoon role with Stephen Vogt. The A's have used Phegley behind the plate for all nine games against an opposing left-handed starter, while he's only received three starts out of a possible 30 against right-handed pitching. Barring an injury to Vogt, it's unlikely that he'll see a significant uptick in playing time in the near future.
