The good news for the A’s is that catcher Stephen Vogt, after being hit hard by a pitch on the right wrist Friday, is only expected to miss one game.
A’s manager Bob Melvin said the veteran hopes to be in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale with the Yankees.
The bad news is, as second baseman Eric Sogard puts it, “there are too many guys joining me on the list.’’ That would be the disabled list, where the A’s have a dozen injured players – half a major league roster – parked.
That’s the biggest number at one time for Oakland since at least 1979, the better part of four decades.
