Extra bases

Prospects Kris Bryant and Dan Vogelbach, both promoted to Class A Daytona, had impressive debuts Tuesday.

Vogelbach, who had been playing at Class A Kane County, homered in the first game of a doubleheader against Clearwater. Pierce Johnson threw 5 2/3 shutout innings, striking out seven in a 5-0 win. Vogelbach, who batted .284 with 17 home runs and 71 RBIs at Kane County, finished with two hits and two RBIs.

Bryant, the second overall pick in June's First-Year Player Draft, homered in the second game, a solo shot in the fourth inning of a 3-2 loss. Bryant batted .354 in 18 games at short-season Class A Boise before getting bumped up to Daytona.

• Josh Vitters may be headed to the disabled list again. The third baseman aggravated his hamstring, which has kept him sidelined much of the season at Triple-A Iowa. Vitters has been limited to 28 games this season because of injuries, and was batting .295. On Monday, in his first game since July 25, he hit a solo home run.
