Eligibility
The Seattle Mariners have acquired pitcher Carlos Vargas along with catcher Seby Zavala from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for third baseman Eugenio Suarez.
Fantasy Impact
While Zavala is a solid defensive backup catcher, Vargas is the notable get from the D-backs. While he struggled to a 7.02 ERA in 38 Triple-A appearances with Reno last season and allowed three earned runs in 4 2/3 innings with Arizona, his fastball averaged 99.5 mph and he is just 24 years of age. He is a nice development piece for the Mariners coaching staff.
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Carlos Vargas has been optioned to Triple-A Reno.
Fantasy Impact
Vargas made the team out of camp but has been optioned after the club reinstated reliever Scott McGough from the paternity list. Vargas has struggled to a 5.79 ERA in five outings on the season and has struggled with control in the form of an 18.2% BB%.
