ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt underwent sports hernia surgery last week and won’t be available during the post-season.
The Braves announced before Game 4 of the NL Division Series on Tuesday that Vogt had surgery on Oct. 6 in Atlanta.
He is expected to be recovered in time for spring training next year.
The 36-year-old Vogt played just 26 games for the Braves after being acquired in a trade with Arizona. Overall this season, he batted .195 with seven homers and 25 RBIs in 78 games.
Vogt last played Sept. 9, when he hit two homers in a win over Washington.
He wasn’t expected to be on the Braves’ post-season roster even if healthy. The team has Travis d’Arnaud and William Contreras at catcher.
