Vogt went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI during Thursday's win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The solid outing improved Vogt to just five RBI and a .222/.240/.361 slash line for the season. He's going to continue to receive regular at-bats, which carries value in deep settings, but there really isn't too much to get excited about at this stage of the game.

Vogt is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Bob Melvin will go with a right-handed heavy lineup to counter Astros southpaw Dallas Keuchel, as Vogt hits the bench in favor of Josh Phegley. Vogt is off to a glacially slow start to the season with a .210/.231/.323 slash line across 65 plate appearances and could begin to cede more plate appearances to Phegley if he fails to show much progress in the weeks to come.

Vogt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop hasn't been great at the plate this season (.677 OPS, 2.4% walk rate), and with left-hander Martin Perez taking the hill for Texas, Vogt will head to the bench for a night off. Josh Phegley will catch Oakland starter Jesse Hahn for the evening.

Vogt went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt logged just one of three hits on the night for the Athletics, as Rangers starter A.J. Griffin and three relievers combined to thoroughly stymie their struggling offense. The veteran backstop has now hit safely in four of his last five games, although he hasn't logged a multi-hit effort since the opener.

Vogt went 2-for-3 with a double and walk in Monday's 2-0 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt was the only player with a multi-hit game on either side in Monday's pitching-dominated tilt and he now has a pair of two-hit efforts on the season. The veteran catcher has given way to backup Josh Phegley in two games when southpaws have been on the hill thus far but will continue seeing the bulk of playing time as the primary backstop.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt had been behind the plate for five of the Athletics' first six games of the season, and with lefty Martin Perez on the mound for the Rangers on Sunday, Oakland manager Bob Melvin decided it was an opportune time to rest the backstop. Josh Phegley will pick up his second start of the season and bat eighth in the order in place of Vogt.
