Vogt (shoulder) has suffered an unspecified setback and will return to Milwaukee for further examination, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt was lifted from Saturday's game for Triple-A Colorado springs after he appeared to aggravate his shoulder while attempting to throw out a runner. It's unclear exactly what went wrong, but the team will be extra cautious with the 33-year-old backstop. He had been hoping for an activation at some point next weekend, but for now, Jett Bandy will remain locked in to the backup catcher role in Milwaukee.

Vogt (shoulder) exited Saturday's minor-league rehab game with an apparent injury.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt, who is in the middle of a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Biloxi, exited Saturday's game in the sixth inning after attempting to throw out a baserunner. Specifics regarding the injury aren't known at this point, so it's unclear if this setback will affect his return date. The backstop was hoping to be activated during the Brewers' upcoming road trip.

Vogt went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a rehab appearance at Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt started at catcher and played five innings in the first game of his rehab assignment. He may need to play a full nine-inning game behind the plate before the Brewers sign off on his return from the 10-day disabled list, but it doesn't look like Vogt will require much more additional rehab time.

Vogt (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Up to this point, Vogt has been participating in extended spring training. Once his rehab assignment gets underway, the Brewers plan on having him promptly begin catching games with their Double-A affiliate. Barring any setbacks, Vogt seems to be on track to be activated from the disabled list by mid-May.

Vogt (shoulder) will head to extended spring training Wednesday to continue his rehab, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Once Vogt finishes his throwing program and accumulates enough at-bats, the backstop will embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. The Brewers are hoping he'll be able to join an affiliate sometime next week, which would keep him on track to return to the big club around the second week of May.

EDGE Analysis
Once he's able to build up at-bats, he's expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Vogt appears to be on track to return to the big-league club in the second week of May, though it remains unclear whether the Brewers plan to keep him or Jett Bandy on the team once that time comes.

Vogt (shoulder) took part in high-intensity throwing drills Monday, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt has been playing catch for over a week, but he is apparently making progress, as the report indicates he is closing in on a rehab assignment. It's not clear how much longer Vogt will need to get back to 100 percent, but he figures to occupy a part-time role alongside Manny Pina once he is.

EDGE Analysis
Vogt will continue to play catch Sunday and Tuesday, and barring any immediate setback, he will likely begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future. The backstop is expected to remain sidelined for a few more weeks, but expect a more concrete timetable once he's cleared to take the field.

Vogt (shoulder) will resume throwing later this week or during the Brewers' upcoming road trip next week, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt continues to make solid progress as he works his way back from a strained shoulder. The backstop is still expected to be sidelined into May, as he'll need to embark on a rehab assignment before rejoining the big club. A more concrete timetable for his return should emerge as he continues to ramp up his activity in the coming weeks.

Vogt (schouder) is hoping to be cleared to resume throwing Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt, who is on the 10-day disabled list with a shoulder strain, has been doing plyometric throwing exercises with no issues recently. Once he's cleared to pick up a throwing program, Vogt will build up his arm before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The veteran backstop is still hoping to join the Brewers near the beginning of May, barring any setbacks. Until then, Jett Bandy will continue to work as the Brewers' backup catcher.
