Vogt (knee) went 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Tacoma on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Playing in his first rehab game, Vogt didn't have his previously injured knee put through the rigors of catching, as he started and took a full complement of at-bats as the designated hitter. The Aviators have the day off Monday, meaning Vogt could be ready to test himself out behind the dish in Tuesday's contest against Sacramento.

Vogt (knee) is scheduled to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 37-year-old has been on the injured list just over a month with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and he'll work behind the plate in his first rehab appearance. Vogt could rejoin the active roster sometime next week if all goes well with Las Vegas.

Vogt (knee) took part in full baseball activities before Monday's series opener against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop was able to take batting practice and participate in both running and fielding drills for the first time since going on the injured list April 21. Despite the encouraging news, manager Mark Kotsay remains non-committal regarding a possible return date for Vogt, who will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation.

Vogt (knee) played catch Tuesday and has resumed other baseball activities, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt went on the injured list April 21 with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and his recovery process seems to be progressing fairly smoothly based on Wednesday's news. The veteran backstop may need to play in a rehab game or two to test out the knee before being activated.

Vogt is dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after he suffered a knee injury Wednesday against the Orioles, and he doesn't yet have a timetable to return. Austin Allen (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and will back up Sean Murphy in Vogt's absence.

Vogt sustained a sprained right knee during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Baltimore, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt started at first base Wednesday and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to being removed from the contest. The severity of the injury is uncertain, but it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran catcher requires a stint on the injured list.

Vogt went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop appeared in his fifth game of the season and delivered with the biggest hit of the day for the Athletics. Vogt has hit safely in three of those games thus far, but Sunday's round tripper marked his first extra-base hit of the campaign. Vogt figures to continue rotating between catcher, first base and designated hitter, affording him fairly regular playing time.

Vogt made his first Cactus League start in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday, going 1-for-3.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt's recent Athletics homecoming after three-plus seasons away serves the purpose of giving Sean Murphy a quality veteran backup behind the dish and a couple of Oakland's pitchers a familiar battery mate in the process. That was the case Tuesday, with A's starter Sean Manaea throwing to Vogt for the first time since 2017. Vogt put together a solid .263 average and .804 OPS as recently as 2019 with the Giants, but this season, he'll look to bounce back from the abysmal .188/.274/.319 slash line he's produced across 104 games over the last two seasons.

Vogt signed a contract with the Athletics on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt underwent sports hernia surgery in mid-October but should be ready as he returns to the Athletics on a major-league contract. The 37-year-old appeared in 78 games between Arizona and Atlanta last year and hit .195 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 24 runs. He should serve as a backup at catcher behind Sean Murphy to begin the 2022 campaign.
