    Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt is scheduled for surgery on his troublesome right foot Tuesday, while outfielder Brandon Moss is set for surgery on his right hip later this month.

    Vogt said Friday he would have a procedure to repair a ruptured plantar plate, which kept him from catching down the stretch for the A's. The surgery will be performed by orthopedist Dr. Kenneth Jung in Los Angeles, Vogt said.

    Oakland's season ended in a 9-8, 12-inning loss in the one-game wild card playoff to the Royals in Kansas City on Sept. 30. Vogt, unable to put constant pressure on the bottom of his painful foot, still contributed at first base and in right field. Vogt, 29, began the season with Triple-A Sacramento before playing his first game with Oakland on June 1 and remaining in the majors the rest of the way.
