Impact Vogelbach has been strictly platooned since joining the Brewers in early September. He's looked quite good in his first 10 games for his new team, hitting .406/.472/.563, a stark contrast from the .088/.246/.211 line his managed in his first 20 games of the season for the Mariners and Blue Jays.

Records seven total bases Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk en route to four RBI and three runs scored during the Brewers' 18-3 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Impact Vogelbach contributed his first home run in a Brewers' uniform. After swatting a home run nearly every 15 at-bats as a Mariner last season, Tuesday marked merely his third through 83 at-bats in 2020. However, since being claimed off waivers on September third, Vogelbach has 12 hits in eight appearances for Milwaukee. A change of scenery may be doing him well.

Designated for assignment again Vogelbach was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Impact It's the second such move in less than two weeks for Vogelbach, who was designated for assignment and subsequently traded by the Mariners in mid-August. In 20 games between the two sides, he has a total of just five hits. His .088/.246/.211 season slash line is a far cry from the .208/.341/.439 line he posted last season.

Mariners designate former All-Star Vogelbach for assignment

The Seattle Mariners have designated Daniel Vogelbach for assignment barely a year after he was an All-Star selection

AUGUST 19, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Designated for assignment Vogelbach was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Vogelbach is slashing just .094/.250/.226 with two home runs through 18 games this season, prompting the Mariners to cast him off their 40-man roster. The 27-year-old slugger made his first All-Star game in 2019 while hitting .208/.341/.439 with 30 home runs in 144 games, so he could draw some interest on waivers. Sam Haggerty was added to Seattle's roster in a corresponding move.

Smacks two-run homer Vogelbach went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact Vogelbach reached base twice, and the slugger has reached base in seven of his last nine contests -- he is only hitting .138 but owns a .306 on-base percentage with two homers and four RBI in that stretch. Vogelbach is never going to hit for average, but he should retain some value in deep leagues due to his power.

Goes deep Thursday Vogelbach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Impact The Mariners had no answer for Angels' starter Dylan Bundy on Thursday, with Vogelbach's fourth-inning blast accounting for Seattle's only run of the contest. The long ball snapped an eight-game stretch without an extra-base hit to begin the season for Vogelbach, who is hitting a meek .125 (3-for-24) through 27 plate appearances.
