HOUSTON — In the hours before Monday’s 4-1 victory over the Astros at Minute Maid Park, Mariners manager Scott Servais was discussing the future of Daniel Vogelbach at the big-league level.
The young slugger without a position other than designated hitter has proven he can produce at the Triple-A level over the past three seasons.
But it’s been different in his short stints in Seattle. The minimal playing time and sporadic at-bats have shown a homer here, a walk there and plenty of strikeouts in between.
“He needs to get the opportunity and finding the right spot where you can get that opportunity and take it an run with it,” Servais said.
