The Blue Jays released Vogelbach on Tuesday. He's now free to latch on with a new club after clearing waivers following his removal from the Blue Jays' 40-man roster. Vogelbach has slashed just .186/.278/.300 across 79 plate appearances this season.

The Blue Jays designated Vogelbach for assignment Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports. Vogelbach had been hitless over his last five games to drop his season slash line to just .186/.278/.300 across 79 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has an above-average 106 OPS+ for his career, but his lack of defensive versatility will limit his appeal on the open market, assuming he clears waivers and becomes a free agent.

Vogelbach is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. He'll retreat to the bench after he served as the Blue Jays' designated hitter in each of the last four games while going 4-for-15 with a double and three RBI. Despite getting increased opportunities of late, Vogelbach still looks like he'll be out of the lineup more often than not while the Blue Jays have Justin Turner and Vladimir Guerrero share first base and the DH spot.

Vogelbach will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's contest against the Orioles. Vogelbach will be making his third straight start at DH after producing four hits and three RBI between Saturday and Sunday's games against the Pirates. Vogelbach has now started six of the last 11 games in the DH slot. It's the same number of starts over that span as Justin Turner, who has been the DH four times and played first base twice during the stretch.

Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Pirates. Vogelbach generated his second consecutive multi-hit game Sunday and logged his first game of the season driving in more than one batter. Since starting the season 4-for-37 at the dish, Vogelbach is 9-for-20 (.450) with three doubles, a solo homer and five total RBI.
