INJURIES

Big game against Cubs Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and three runs scored Monday against the Cubs.
Impact Vogelbach delivered a two-RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 9-1. He also scored each time he reached base, marking the third time in his last five starts that he has scored multiple runs. Despite a multitude of recent prospect promotions, Vogelbach has remained the Pirates' primary designated hitter. However, he is hitting just .217/.299/.410 across 187 plate appearances on the season.

Homers as pinch hitter Vogelbach went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 7-5 loss to the Giants on Saturday.
Impact Vogelbach pinch hit for Michael Chavis in the 8th inning and brought the Pirates to within a run. It was his eighth home run of the year and 18th RBI. The left-handed slugger was on the bench to start the game with lefty pitcher Jose Quintana on the mound.

Not starting Saturday Vogelbach will sit Saturday against the Giants.
Impact Vogelbach hits the bench against lefty Alex Wood, though he'd started against three of the previous four left-handers the Pirates faced, so it's not clear that he's slipping back into a platoon role. Michael Chavis will serve as the designated hitter Saturday, with Yu Chang taking Chavis' usual spot at first base.
JUNE 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sits in afternoon game Vogelbach will be on the bench for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Impact The Cardinals will send out southpaw Matthew Liberatore in the first game of the day, so it's no surprise to see Vogelbach stuck on the bench. Righty Miles Mikolas will be on the mound for the nightcap, so expect Vogelbach to return to action this evening.
JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Smacks long ball Vogelbach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-4 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Vogelbach gave the Pirates a brief 2-0 lead with his first-inning blast, which Atlanta answered in its half of the frame. The designated hitter has hit safely in each of his last two games after breaking an 0-for-11 skid, but he hasn't recorded hits in three straight contests since late April. The 29-year-old slugger is at a .230/.312/.432 slash line with seven homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 41 contests.
JUNE 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out against lefty Vogelbach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the bump for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Vogelbach will bow out of the starting nine. Michael Chavis will play first base and bat cleanup, while Bryan Reynolds serves as the Pirates' designated hitter and No. 2 batter.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Retreats to bench Vogelbach isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Vogelbach returned from the injured list Friday and went 1-for-3 with two walks and a strikeout. However, Michael Chavis will serve as the designated hitter while Yu Chang starts at first base Saturday.
JUNE 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Activated Friday Vogelbach (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at designated hitter and batting third Friday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact He has been out since May 23 and will take the place of Josh VanMeter, who was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Vogelbach hit .164/.266/.400 with three home runs in 55 at-bats in March
JUNE 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to run bases Vogelbach (hamstring) will go through a baserunning progression Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Vogelbach has been on the injured list with a left hamstring strain for just over a week, but it's encouraging that he's been cleared to run the bases. However, the Pirates haven't yet revealed when the 29-year-old will be able to return to game action. Michael Chavis and Josh VanMeter should continue to see playing time at first base while Vogelbach is sidelined.

Daniel Vogelbach, more than a clubhouse guy, has come as advertised in first year with Pirates To place any one label on Daniel Vogelbach would be missing his whole value. From the outside, the Pirates’ designated hitter seems like a c...
MAY 26, 2022 • POST-GAZETTE.COM
Lands on injured list Vogelbach was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left hamstring, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old started Monday after missing three straight games with an injury to his lower body, and he's now sidelined by a hamstring injury. Vogelbach will be eligible to return June 3, though it's unclear exactly how long he's expected to be sidelined. Michael Chavis is likely to see increased playing time during his absence.
MAY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to lineup Vogelbach (lower body) is starting Monday against the Rockies.
Impact Vogelbach was out of the lineup during the last three games while tending to a lower-body injury, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth in Monday's series opener. Over his last five games, he's gone 2-for-14 with a triple, an RBI, a walk and six strikeouts.
MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tending to lower-body injury Manager Derek Shelton said Vogelbach is being held out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals due to a lower-body issue, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Shelton noted that Vogelbach is "banged up a little bit," which explains why he's been excluded from the lineup for all three of the Pirates' games against St. Louis this weekend. Even if fully healthy, the lefty-hitting Vogelbach may have been a candidate to sit against Cardinals southpaw Steven Matz on Sunday anyway, but the 29-year-old at least felt well enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 5-4 loss. Vogelbach doesn't look to be in any real danger of landing on the injured list.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Sunday Vogelbach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact With southpaw Steven Matz on the hill for St. Louis, the lefty-hitting Vogelbach will stick on the bench for the third consecutive contest while Yoshi Tsutsugo serves as the Pirates' designated hitter. The Pirates are scheduled to face right-hander Chad Kuhl in Monday's series opener with the Rockies, so expect Vogelbach to check back into the starting nine for that game.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains on bench Vogelbach will sit for the second straight game Saturday against St. Louis.
Impact It's no big surprise to see Vogelbach on the bench Saturday against lefty Matthew Liberatore. His off day Friday against Adam Wainwright was more surprising, as it marked the first time he'd been out of the lineup against a righty this season. It's unclear if he's dealing with a minor injury or if he's simply not the preferred option at the moment. Whatever the reason, it will be Yoshi Tsutsugo as the designated hitter Saturday, with Michael Chavis starting at Tsutsugo's usual spot at first base.
MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Friday Vogelbach is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Vogelbach started the past nine games and will receive a day off while mired in a 2-for-13 slump, during which he's struck out six times. Yoshi Tsutsugo will serve as the designated hitter while Michael Chavis starts at first base.

Smacks fifth homer Vogelbach went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Vogelbach took Daniel Hudson yard in the seventh inning to tally his fifth home run of the season. It was a needed hit for Vogelbach, as he entered the game having collected only two hits in his last 25 at-bats. Despite the slow stretch, Vogelbach is in the lineup against nearly every righty the Pirates face, and he has settled into the cleanup spot. Overall, he is hitting .258/.337/.472 with 13 runs scored and 12 RBI across 101 plate appearances on the campaign.

Daniel Vogelbach, Pirates out-slug Dodgers for surprising series victory Daniel Vogelbach hit one of three homers for the Pirates to help them beat the Dodgers and earn a series victory on Wednesday.
MAY 11, 2022 • POST-GAZETTE.COM
Sits against southpaw Vogelbach will be on the bench Monday against the Dodgers.
Impact Vogelbach has started against every righty the Pirates have faced this season, and he hasn't been completely prevented from facing lefties, but his off day here against Julio Urias means he's now sat against six out of 10 southpaws so far this year. Bryan Reynolds will rest his legs in the designated hitter spot, with Jake Marisnick starting in center field.

Delivers timely hits Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Friday against the Padres.
Impact Vogelbach accounted for the majority of Pittsburgh's offense Friday, first driving in a run with an infield single in the opening frame. He followed that up with another RBI single four innings later. Vogelbach has swung a hot bat across his last 10 starts, collecting 12 hits in 37 at-bats while also accruing six RBI and scoring four runs.
