Vogelbach didn't start Saturday even though a right-hander was on the mound because the Mariners don't want to "overexpose" him, the Seattle Times reports.
With Adam Lind out (finger), Vogelbach figured to start, but instead Dae-Ho Lee started at first. Vogelbach, who was called up last week, struck out three times Friday. He has one hit in 10 at-bats with five strikeouts and no walks. He'll likely go to spring training next season competing for a platoon job at first base.
