Atlanta Braves stay busy, acquire Stephen Vogt from Arizona Diamondbacks
ATLANTA Trying to fill another injury hole with a trade, the Atlanta Braves acquired veteran catcher Stephen Vogt from the Arizona Diamondbacks late Friday night for minor league first baseman Mason Berne.
The 36-year-old Vogt, a two-time All-Star with Oakland, batted .212 with five homers and 17 RBIs in 52 games for the major-league-worst Diamondbacks this season. He has thrown out 10 of 30 runners attempting to steal.
The move came one night after the Braves obtained Joc Pederson in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, bolstering their outfield after recently losing star slugger Ronald Acuna Jr. to a season-ending knee injury.
