OAKLAND – An initial X-ray of Stephen Vogt’s right wrist showed no fractures after he was hit by a ninth-inning pitch Friday night against the Royals.
That qualified as good news for the A’s in the immediate aftermath of a 5-2 loss to Kansas City. But a clearer picture of Vogt’s status should materialize Saturday morning when he gets examined again by Oakland’s training staff.
Therefore, consider all emotions on hold regarding the A’s and their (likely) All-Star catcher. Vogt, hit by a 2-2 pitch from lefty Franklin Morales that he said got him in the wrist and hand, expressed relief that there were no broken bones.
