Stephen Vogt sitting out for Athletics

Oakland Athletics catcher/first baseman Stephen Vogt is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Vogt will get the night off with southpaw Jeff Locke toeing the rubber for Pittsburgh. Josh Phegley will play catch for Oakland and bat eighth.

Vogt is slashing .271/.314/.428 with six home runs and a .322 wOBA in 255 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to hit .261/.318/.415 with seven home runs and a .313 wOBA in 265 appearances at the plate over the remaining course of the season.
