Phegley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley has fallen on hard times offensively in June, recording only six hits in 35 at-bats across 13 games. Beau Taylor will get the nod behind the dish in the series finale, but Phegley still looks fairly secure in his role as the Athletics' No. 1 backstop, especially with Nick Hundley (back) and Chris Herrmann (knee) both stuck on the injured list.

Phegley, who went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Angels on Monday, now sports a career-best .287/.331/.533 line across 130 plate appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley has taken firm possession of primary backstop duties over the same-handed Nick Hundley by significantly outpacing his teammate at the plate. In addition to his aforementioned solid slash line, Phegley is also now just two home runs (he has seven) and RBI (he has 32) apiece from matching the career-best numbers in those categories he posted in 2015.
