Vogelbach should factor into the DH mix for his new club, especially with Dominic Smith (ankle) on the shelf, while also occasionally spelling Pete Alonso at first base.

Hits 11th home run Vogelbach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-2 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Impact Vogelbach joined teammate Jack Suwinski in going deep off Jameson Taillon for his 11th long ball of the season. The 29-year-old designated hitter is coming off a poor couple of months at the plate. He hit .192 in June and .164 in May, with the only silver lining being the seven home runs he hit over that stretch. He is now riding a six-game hitting streak, but expectations may not be very high for the career .214 hitter.

Impact Vogelbach took Paolo Espino yard in the fourth inning to record his 10th home run of the season. It was his third homer in his last 11 games, and he's also tallied seven RBI and eight runs scored in that span. Vogelbach has been locked into the designated hitter role against right-handed pitching, though the Pirates lineup remains fluid so he'll likely need to keep hitting to retain consistent playing time.
