Just when you thought the Mets’ insistence on employing embattled designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach could not become any more confounding, the Amazins find a way.
Daniel Vogelbach has been receiving a mental break of sorts.
In an attempt to get the struggling DH on track, Mets brass late last week decided to essentially play a man short for a stretch until Vogelbach can get his swing right, according to sources.
Vogelbach, 30, last played last Wednesday in Atlanta and wasn’t considered as a pinch-hitting option late, including in the Mets’ 7-6 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
