Daniel Vogelbach Sitting On Saturday Amidst Tough Year
10 months agoNew 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.
