Oakland Athletics C Stephen Vogt (foot) is expected to be ready for opening day without restrictions, according to manager Bob Melvin. However, Melvin noted Vogt is not currently 100% healthy, and the team plans to limit Vogt's activity during camp, including him avoiding playing the field during spring training games.

Fantasy Tip: Vogt is a late-round flier in AL-only and two-catcher formats, but he could be overvalued due to his monster first-half surge (.358/.388/.532 slash line with four home runs and 17 RBIs over 109 at-bats) last season. Don't forget about his August slide, though, where he slashed .212/.247/.376. Expect Vogt to settle somewhere in the middle this season.

Oakland Athletics C Stephen Vogt (foot) spent 9 1/2 weeks in a walking boot after having surgery on his right foot Oct. 14, and he has been cleared to start running. Vogt expects to be ready to go when spring training starts in a month. "There is soreness, but there is no pain, so that's a huge improvement for me," Vogt said. "I played in pain for the last three months of the year, and that's gone. So even with the soreness, I'm feeling good physically." He was unable to play the last 70 games of the season because of his foot problem.
