Vogt nursing shoulder strain, won't play 2-3 weeks

PHOENIX -- Stephen Vogt, one of two candidates to be the Brewers' second catcher, will miss the next two to three weeks of Spring Training games with a strained right shoulder.

It's a tough break for the two-time All-Star, who spent the offseason working to strengthen his arm after throwing out only one of 28 baserunners during his stint with the Brewers in 2017. He already underwent an MRI scan, according to manager Craig Counsell, which confirmed the strain.

Vogt and Jett Bandy are competing for a roster spot alongside primary catcher Manny Pina.
