Vogt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
With a lefty (Brett Anderson) on the mound for Milwaukee, the lefty-hitting Vogt will give way to short-side platoon mate Kevan Smith behind the dish in the series finale. Both Vogt and Smith could see their playing time dry up within the next week or two, when Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list following a prolonged absence.

Vogt is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt will get a breather Thursday after he was behind the dish Wednesday against the Padres for the second game of a doubleheader, which was ultimately suspended due to inclement weather. Before the game was put on hold in the fifth inning, Vogt went hitless across two at-bats. Kevan Smith will catch for Charlie Morton in the series opener in Philadelphia.

Vogt is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt looks to be receiving some maintenance in the front end of the twin bill after he caught both of Atlanta's last two games. Kevan Smith will form a battery with Kyle Muller in Game 1, while Vogt will presumably check in behind the plate for the nightcap, when right-hander Bryse Wilson is scheduled to pitch for Atlanta.

Vogt will start at catcher and bat sixth Monday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt will climb one spot in the lineup after he went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI while making his Atlanta debut in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Rays. The lefty-hitting Vogt is expected to occupy the large side of a platoon at catcher with Kevan Smith until Atlanta gets Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) back from the 60-day injured list, likely around mid-to-late August.
