Vogt underwent sports hernia surgery recently and is expected to be ready for spring training, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was recently designated for assignment but will remain in Atlanta's organization for now. Vogt provides valuable intangibles for any club, but he is unlikely to get much run in the majors anytime soon.

Vogt (hip) was designated for assignment on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt landed on the shelf with the injured hip Sept. 10 and has been removed from the 40-man roster heading into the playoffs. The 36-year-old appeared in 78 games between Arizona and Atlanta this season and hit .195/.283/.333 with seven homers, 25 RBI and 24 runs in 238 plate appearances.

Manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that it's questionable whether Vogt (hip) will be able to return in 2021, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt has been on the injured list since Friday due to right hip inflammation, and he was expected to be ready in a week to 10 days. While the 36-year-old initially appeared to be in line for a brief absence, he might not have enough time to get back into game shape prior to the end of the year.

Vogt (hip) is expected to be ready to play in a week to 10 days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt left Thursday's game against Washington with right hip inflammation and hit the injured list Friday. It doesn't sound as though he'll miss more than the minimum 10 days however, with a brief rehab assignment possible if he's ready for game action before the 10 days are up.

Vogt was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right hip inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old exited Thursday's game after launching two solo home runs and will now miss at least 10 days while his hip recovers. William Contreras, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, will handle backup catching duties until Vogt returns.

Manager Brian Snitker said that Vogt exited Thursday's win over Washington because of a hip injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The skipper revealed that Vogt felt his hip pop while running after a wild pitch in the eighth inning. Based on the initial reports, there is certainly a possibility that the backstop will require a lengthy absence, though a return timeline won't come into focus until the medical staff is able to provide a full diagnosis.

Vogt exited Thursday's game against the Nationals after suffering an apparent lower body injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. He went 2-for-2 with a pair of solo home runs before being replaced by Travis d'Arnaud.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop appeared to suffer the injury while scrambling after a wild pitch in the eighth inning. The severity of the issue should receive more clarity once Vogt is evaluated by Atlanta's medical staff, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Vogt isn't starting Monday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt filled in behind the plate Saturday after Travis d'Arnaud (personal) was placed on the paternity list, but he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight contest. William Contreras will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt picked up the start at catcher in Saturday's 5-4 win after Travis d'Arnaud (personal) was moved to the paternity list, but William Contreras will get the nod behind the dish for the series finale. Since being acquired from the Diamondbacks on July 17, Vogt is slashing .167/.261/.167 over 19 games with Atlanta.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Though the lefty-hitting Vogt has commonly sat against southpaws like Wade Miley -- who starts Wednesday for Cincinnati -- the 36-year-old backstop won't be Atlanta's top catcher against right-handed pitching either. With Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) returning from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and set to take over as Atlanta's clear-cut No. 1 backstop, Vogt likely won't pick up much more than a start or two per week.
