Vogt Expected to Be Ready by Opening Day
Friday, Jan. 29
The team announced (via CSNBayArea.com) that the All-Star catcher, who hit 18 home runs last year, is expected to need four to six weeks to recover. The surgery was to remove a bone chip in Vogt's throwing elbow as well as dead tissue from the area.
Vogt was named to his first All-Star team in 2015, his fourth year in the major leagues and third in Oakland. He hit a career-high 71 RBI and .443 slugging percentage in 136 games with the Athletics.
