Roster %
Eligibility
Miguel Vargas has entered Dodgers Spring Training camp as a left fielder.
Fantasy Impact
Vargas was the Opening Day second baseman last season, which Mookie Betts is taking over this year. Vargas will have to earn a role in the outfield this spring to play a big role for the Dodgers this season.
The Dodgers optioned Miguel Vargas to Triple-A Oklahoma City Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Vargas will look to reset after falling into a slump since the start of June. The 23-year-old rookie is slashing .195/.305/.367 with seven home runs, 32 RBI, and three stolen bases in 81 games this season.
Miguel Vargas provided the only offense the Dodgers needed with a solo shot in the second inning, finishing the game 1-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a low batting average this season, Vargas has shown some pop in his bat, hitting seven home runs and driving in 30 runs in 69 games played. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate have limited his overall production at the plate.
Miguel Vargas had a strong showing at the plate on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Vargas' season-long batting average remains low at .234, but he has recorded 14 doubles, three triples, and six home runs over 57 games played. His 0.337 wOBA suggests that he has been a solid contributor to the Dodgers' offense this season.
Vargas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the stolen base, it was a quiet night for the infielder, who failed to drive in any runs and struck out once. On the season, Vargas has struggled at the plate with a .228 batting average and five homers across 184 at-bats.
