With Tim Hudson coming off of ankle surgery and Matt Cain still recovering from an elbow procedure, Vogelsong is an insurance policy move for a starting rotation that already includes the likes of Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum and Jake Peavy. 

In his 10-year career, Vogelsong carries a record of 49-57 with a 4.42 ERA and 731 strikeouts.
