Vogt went 2-for-4 with a double and solo home run Monday in the Giants' 2-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of a doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
After the Giants exploded for 19 runs in the first game, Vogt was able to provide most of the offense when the rest of the team's bats went quiet in the nightcap. The veteran is now batting a credible .265/.331/.496 through 127 plate appearances with the Giants this season, but he'll likely receive only two or three starts most weeks while Buster Posey is healthy.

Vogt (knee) is starting at catcher and batting second Sunday versus the Brewers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt suffered the knee bruise in the first-half finale last Sunday, but he had an RBI single in a pinch-hit appearance Saturday and is good to rejoin the lineup. The 34-year-old has been a solid backup option behind the plate for the Giants with a .260/.325/.462 slash line in 44 games.

Vogt has been diagnosed with a left knee contusion following Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear as to when Vogt suffered the injury, but he did go for precautionary X-rays, which came back negative. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward, though he will have the next four days off to recover before Friday's series opener in Milwaukee.

Vogt went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt provided some late fireworks for the Giants when he deposited a low-and-in fastball from Greg Holland into McCovey Cove at Oracle Park. It was the veteran backstop's second homer of the season, and he now boasts a .277/.349/.500 slash line over 106 plate appearances as Buster Posey's backup.

Vogt went 3-for-4 with two triples, two runs, and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The two triples represented 18 percent of Vogt's career output in that category. He now has a strong .794 OPS on the season, though he's unlikely to carve out a large role behind the plate in San Francisco while Buster Posey remains healthy.

Vogt will resume a backup catcher role with the return of Buster Posey (hamstring) on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt was the primary catcher during Posey's brief injured list stint, going 4-for-18 with a pair of doubles over five starts. The veteran's platoon mate, Aramis Garcia, was optioned back to Triple-A, leaving Vogt as the lone backup to Posey moving forward.

Vogt has taken over as the Giants' primary catcher with Buster Posey (hamstring) sidelined.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt gave way to Aramis Garcia with a southpaw on the mound Wednesday, but the veteran started the Giants' previous two contests (both against righties) and went 3-for-7 with a pair of doubles, two walks and a pair of RBI. The 34-year-old is an offensive-minded backstop who can be a bit streaky at the plate. Based on his recent production, those in deep two-catcher formats as well as those who play daily fantasy may want to take a look at Vogt while Posey is out of action.

Vogt started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt made his first start in the outfield since 2016, and just his third overall dating back to 2014. With Buster Posey back from the concussion injured list, manager Bruce Bochy is trying to find unique ways to get his backup catcher's bat in the lineup more often. This doesn't appear to be a platoon situation of any sort, but the occasional start in left in addition to usual backup duties could get Vogt in the lineup enough for him to at least get on the radar in deeper two-catcher formats.

Vogt will start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt benefited from a workload spike when Buster Posey was sidelined with a concussion, but the 34-year-old transitioned back into a reserve role when Posey was activated this weekend. Posey will get a routine maintenance day Sunday after back-to-back starts, allowing Vogt to rejoin the lineup in the series finale.

Vogt will be on the bench Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vogt has started three of six games since Buster Posey landed on the injured list with a concussion. Aramis Garcia gets the start Wednesday. One of the two could be removed from the roster soon, with Posey not expected to miss much more time.
