In short, Vogelbach is a Cub for a little while longer. If his name wasn't added to the 40-man roster, then he surely would have been taken by an American League team looking to fill a hole at first base.
I'm elated the Vogelmonster is still a Cub and that the organization won't lose him to the draft come early December. I'd like to think the Vogelmonster is pretty stoked, too.
Congrats. I'm sure keeping Vogelbach around is a nice plan-B for if Rizzo is out for extended periods of time, and if nothing else it'd be a huge waste for the Cubs if he's just claimed in the rule 5 draft as opposed to getting something of value for him in a trade.
