Athletics' Stephen Vogt: Sits for third consecutive day

Vogt is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, John Hickey of the East Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Sunday's absence marks the third consecutive game Vogt was withheld from the starting lineup. The reason for his prolonged absence is unclear, as backup catcher Josh Phegley has performed no better than Vogt at the plate in the early going. The Athletics are off Monday, so Tuesday against the Marlins would be Vogt's next opportunity to rejoin the starting lineup.
