Daniel Vogelbach Hitting Fifth Against Phillies
1 year agoNew 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.
