Vargas (hip) gave up two runs over 5.1 innings in Monday's rehab start for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, Matthew DeFranks of FOX Sports Kansas City reports. Vargas gave up two hits (both home runs) and two walks, with two strikeouts on 75 pitches. He previously wasn't expected to make a rehab start, but the Royals apparently decided to take advantage of the All-Star break. Although it's unclear if Vargas will have another rehab outing, he should be back in the Kansas City rotation at some point in July, either way.
