Mon Mar 2501:21Davis Schneider, Daniel Vogelbach, Ernie Clement Make Blue Jays Roster
Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Davis Schneider, utility bat Daniel Vogelbach, and infielder Ernie Clement have all made the opening day roster. Schneider should see a decent amount of playing time at second base, either as a platoon with Cavan Biggio or as the outright second baseman with Biggio shifting around the diamond. Vogelbach will likely be a bench bat and could fill in at DH when Justin Turner is playing in the field or taking a day off. Clement will be a bench infielder for the club. Schneider has the most appeal in fantasy and could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.

Fri Feb 1622:10Daniel Vogelbach, Blue Jays Agree To Minors Deal
Free-agent designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a minor-league deal on Friday, according to sources familiar with the contract. Vogelbach will receive a non-roster invite to spring training. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger spent last season playing for the New York Mets, where he hit .233/339/.404 with 13 home runs, eight doubles, 48 RBI and 33 runs scored in 104 games (319 plate appearances). If he makes the big-league club, Vogelbach will offer the Jays a power-hitting option at DH or off the bench against right-handed pitching, but he's not going to play enough to be considered a fantasy option in mixed leagues. He has a career .815 OPS against righties in his eight big-league seasons.

Fri Nov 17 202322:00Daniel Vogelbach Non-Tendered By Mets
New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach has been non-tendered by the organization on Friday. This doesn't come as much of a surprise given Vogelbach's lack of success at the plate this past season. The 30-year-old slugger was likely going to make at least a few million through salary arbitration this offseason. He slashed .233/.339/.404 with 13 home runs and 48 RBI in 78 games with the Mets last season. His defense is below average and Vogelbach can really only hit off right-handed pitchers. There should be another organization willing to give him a chance as a designated hitter. However, it's unlikely that he'll be a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Wed Aug 2 202318:40Daniel Vogelbach Sitting Versus Left-Hander
New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach will take a seat during Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The left-handed slugger will sit this game out with left-handed starter Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Vogelbach is 3-for-12 over his last four games, so he could use a break here. Mark Vientos is covering first base, while Pete Alonso serves as the designated hitter for Wednesday's contest.

Fri Jun 23 202316:07Daniel Vogelbach Hitting Fifth Against Phillies
New York Mets first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth for the Mets in the series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Taijuan Walker on Friday. Vogelbach is hitting just .230 (31-for-135) on the season, but he's been on a tear since the team gave him some time off to reset. In his last five games since June 16, he's gone 7-for-17 (.412) with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and four runs scored to earn a move up the batting order to begin the weekend. Infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil sees a drop down the order to seventh. Vogelbach has become a bit more attractive in DFS during his recent hot stretch.

Mon Jun 19 202318:56Daniel Vogelbach Back In The Lineup Monday
New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach will return to the starting lineup Monday night versus the Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Vogelbach didn't start on Sunday but went hitless in a pinch-hitting appearance while he's been given some additional time off of late during some struggles at the plate. The 30-year-old is hitting just .208 on the season but continues to draw a plethora of walks with a monstrous 17.2% BB% on the campaign. However, the Mets are surely looking for more power from their lefty-swinging DH who has just three homers and an uninspiring .112 isolated power on the season across 151 trips to the plate.

Fri Jun 16 202315:11Daniel Vogelbach Returns To The Lineup
New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the first time that Vogelbach has been in the lineup since June 7. The Mets were giving the slumping corner infielder a mental break. He's slashing .203//343/.297 with two home runs and 14 RBI in 34 games this season. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh versus right-hander Miles Mikolas on Friday.

Sat May 27 202318:20Daniel Vogelbach Sitting On Saturday Amidst Tough Year
New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach is not in the starting lineup on Saturday versus the Colorado Rockies. The left-handed batter takes a seat despite a matchup with right-hander Chase Anderson. Vogelbach, a platoon specialist, has provided the Mets with precious little this year, besides walks, as a supposed righty masher. He's slugging just .347 in 95 at-bats against righties this year. The 30-year-old also has zero RBI or extra-base hits over his last 13 games, going 5-for-35 with an unfathomable .143 SLG. Deep-league or NL-only fantasy managers hope Vogelbach's 52.1% hard-hit rate amounts to something soon, but the one-time All-Star is trending down. Rookie Mark Vientos is DHing and hitting eighth on Saturday.

Tue Apr 18 202321:55Daniel Vogelbach Absent From Tuesday's Starting Lineup
New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach is taking a seat Tuesday for the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. left-hander Clayton Kershaw is on the mound, so considering his .478 career OPS versus southpaws, it's a good idea to keep him on the bench. Tommy Pham is taking his place in the lineup, playing center field and batting seventh. The 35-year-old veteran is trying to revive his career after producing a .686 OPS in 2022. So far, Pham's been successful as he owns a .273/.385/.485 slash line with two long balls, three runs, six RBI, and a pair of steals over 13 contests. He's smashed lefties during his career, exhibited by his .844 career OPS, so he's a solid option for fantasy managers.

Tue Feb 21 202319:25Daniel Vogelbach Slims Down
New York Mets first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach estimated that he lost 20 to 25 pounds this offseason after he was listed at 270 pounds in 2022. "Obviously watching what I eat, but just working out and doing my routine," Vogelbach said. "I wasn't really that focused on one particular thing. Just coming in and making sure that I was in shape and ready to play from Day 1." In 55 games for the Mets last year after being acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Vogelbach hit .255/.393/.436 with six homers and 25 RBI as mostly a DH. He'll open camp as the team's primary lefty DH again this year, with Darin Ruf, Tommy Pham and Mark Vientos being options from the right side. Vogelbach will give fantasy managers some late power and a strong on-base percentage in the strong side of a platoon.

Sun Nov 6 202222:30Mets To Pick Up Daniel Vogelbach's Option
The New York Mets are planning to pick up first baseman Daniel Vogelbach's $1.5 million team option for the 2023 season, as expected. Vogelbach began the 2022 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates but spent the second half with the Mets after being traded, hitting .255/.393/.436 with an .830 OPS, six home runs, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored in 183 plate appearances. Overall in 130 games this year, the 29-year-old left-handed slugger slashed .238/.360/.433 with 18 long balls, 59 RBI and 47 runs scored. Vogelbach won't be a regular starter at first base with Pete Alonso the regular there, but he'll be a power bat off the bench for the Mets and an option for the designated hitter spot against right-handed pitching.

Sun Oct 9 202218:35Daniel Vogelbach Starting At Designated Hitter
New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach will join the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 3 against the San Diego Padres. The 29-year-old sat out Game 2, but is in the lineup for this elimination contest. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh versus right-hander Joe Musgrove. The Mets will opt for some left-handed power here as Vogelbach crushes right-handed pitching. He's never going to hit for a strong average or draw many walks, but the Mets are looking to add some power in this do-or-die game.

Thu Aug 18 202216:26Daniel Vogelbach Sitting Against Lefty
New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The slugger struggles against lefties, and Atlanta is deploying southpaw Max Fried for the series finale. Pete Alonso will start in his place. Vogelbach is slashing .270/.379/.535 with 15 homers, 39 RBI, 41 walks, and 66 strikeouts against right-handers in 2022. Presumably, he'll be available off the bench if Atlanta goes to a right-hander out of its bullpen.

Thu Aug 4 202214:29Daniel Vogelbach Hits Grand Slam
New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach hit his first home run as a member of the team Wednesday, a towering grand slam off of Washington Nationals relief pitcher Jordan Weems in a 9-5 victory. Vogelbach has been very productive since coming over from the Pirates, slashing .308/.471/.500 in 33 plate appearances. He now has 13 homers, 32 runs scored, and 38 RBI with a .790 OPS in 310 plate appearances this season. He should only play against righties, and that makes him a very solid option in fantasy leagues with daily lineup changes.

Wed Mar 16 202221:28Daniel Vogelbach Signs One-Year Deal With Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed first baseman Daniel Vogelbach to a one-year contract. The contract includes $1 million in guaranteed money with an option for a second year.

Last year, over 93 games, he slashed .219/.349/.381 with nine home runs, 24 RBI and 30 runs. His primary competition for playing time will be Michael Chavis, though he could also be a candidate for the team's designated hitter spot.

Tue Nov 30 202122:04Daniel Vogelbach, John Curtiss Non-Tendered By Brewers
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Daniel Vogelbach and reliever John Curtiss were non-tendered by the team on Tuesday after Milwaukee reached one-year deals with first baseman Rowdy Tellez, utility man Jace Peterson and reliever Jandel Gustave. Vogelbach and Curtiss are now free agents. With Tellez the preferred left-handed-hitting power option at first base, Vogelbach was expendable. Curtiss will miss all of the 2022 season after having Tommy John surgery in September. He was acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline and made only six appearances with the Brew Crew. Vogelbach hit .219 with nine home runs and 24 RBI in 93 games for Milwaukee.

Wed Sep 1 202119:38Daniel Vogelbach Activated From 60-Day Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. He missed over two months due to a hamstring issue and foot injury that happened during his rehab assignment. He won't be in the lineup on Wednesday, but is an option off the bench for Milwaukee. Vogelbach is hitting .216/.323/.386 with seven homers during his limited time in Milwaukee this season. What you see is what you get with Vogelbach. A powerful left-handed bat with tremendous home run upside, but will hit for a low batting average and doesn't walk much. He probably won't be worth a look in most fantasy formats right now.
