Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He put together a two-homer game on Thursday. Sadly, he exited in the middle of the game due to a hip issue. The team is going to play it safe with their veteran catcher. He'll be placed on the injured list, while William Contreras joins the active roster.

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) was unable to get through Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. It's a shame considering Vogt hit two home runs in the game. Sadly, the 36-year-old was pulled out due to his hip bothering him. Hopefully, Vogt is able to avoid the injured list. In the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud should get more playing time behind the plate.
