Catcher Stephen Vogt was at home trying to rest Monday after being sent to the hospital after Sunday’s game when a foul tip caught him directly in the groin.
Vogt appeared to be in intense pain after the ball off the bat of Seattle’s Ketel Marte struck him. He fell to the ground, did a complete 360-degree role and gathered in a fetal position while the A’s medical crew rushed to help.
Vogt said in a text to this newspaper “I’m alright,’’ but there is no telling yet when he might be able to play again.
A’s manager Bob Melvin said that an ultrasound Sunday showed no rupture, but to be on the safe side a second ultrasound was scheduled for later Monday.
