The headline says it all, Daniel Vogelbach has been DFAed and Addison Barger has been called up in his place.
Vogelbach seemed like a great guy, but wasn’t hitting, and a DH that doesn’t hit isn’t of much use.
Barger is up for the second time. I hope they give him a good amount of playing time this go round.
Off-topic: I’m happy for Cavan Biggio, ending up on the Dodgers. Got a hit in his first game, I think. I hope he gets enough playing time on that stacked team
Still sucks that the offense has not been working well… If they’re on a path to bring the kids who hit up, you might as well call it a season and look to move your talent while the value is good.
This definitely feels like they are clearing the deck for the young call ups to get playing time in preparation for next year.
