Stephen Vogt C

Vogt was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The move comes as no surprise as Vogt has been eased into action behind the plate as he returns from shoulder surgery last May. The 34-year-old has been catching in minor-league games and should continue to ramp up his defensive workload at Triple-A.

Vogt will catch a few innings in a minor-league game Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Vogt has gotten some at-bats so far this spring but has yet to suit up behind the plate. The Giants are handling him cautiously as he works his way back from missing the entirety of 2018 due to shoulder issues, though he doesn't have a ton of time to get ready for Opening Day. He remains in competition with Aramis Garcia and Rene Rivera for the backup catcher job.

Vogt went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and an RBI in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Vogt put the Giants on the board with his run-scoring single in the second inning. The veteran backstop struck out in his next at-bat before adding another single in his third and final trip to the plate. He's now 3-for-8 (.375) through a trio of Cactus League games.

Vogt (illness) will be the designated hitter Saturday against the Rangers.

He missed a few games with an illness but will hit eighth and serve as the DH in this split-squad game.

Vogt was removed from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers due to illness, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Vogt was supposed to see his first game action of the spring but will wind up waiting at least one more day. He missed the entirety of the 2018 season due to a shoulder injury but has reportedly been throwing well. He took batting practice and threw Thursday instead of getting into the game.
