Vargas won the final spot in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas put his stamp on the job with a sharp 2.61 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 10.1 innings this spring in the Cactus League. Acquired from the Guardians in November, the 23-year-old right-hander could quickly work his way up the patchwork bullpen depth chart in Arizona. He might even be a sleeper for saves.

Vargas was acquired by the Diamondbacks from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for Ross Carver.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas received his first call-up to the big leagues in mid-September, though he didn't make his debut while up with the Guardians. The 23-year-old will now head to Arizona, where he should have a clearer path to pitching in the majors.

Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He was recalled last Friday and didn't appear in a game. Vargas should serve as organizational bullpen depth in 2023.

Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas spent plenty of time at Double-A Akron earlier in the year after returning to full health following Tommy John surgery that he underwent in April of 2021. However, he was promoted to the Triple-A club at the beginning of September and allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out 12 in six innings over four relief appearances. The right-hander will likely serve as a multi-inning option out of Cleveland's bullpen, and his first appearance with the Guardians will be his major-league debut.

Vargas (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Double-A Akron on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas has already made seven appearances at Akron while rehabbing in his recovery from April 2021 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has posted a 5.23 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB in 10.1 innings, and he'll stay at the Double-A level as he continues to build back up. He primarily worked as a starter in rookie ball, but he's worked out the bullpen during his rehab.

Vargas (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas is ready to make his 2022 season debut after spending just under 14 months recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Guardians added Vargas to their 40-man roster during the offseason, but once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, he'll likely be optioned to Akron and continue to make regular starts for the affiliate.

Vargas (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move doesn't affect Vargas' timeline, as he underwent Tommy John surgery at the start of last season and isn't expected to return until the middle of this year. It clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Guardians to add new signing Luke Maile.

Vargas underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas has some potential, but he wasn't going to help out Cleveland at the big-league level anytime soon, as he's yet to advance to full-season ball. He'll now be out of game action until sometime in the middle of the 2022 season.

Vargas was added to Cleveland's 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas has yet to advance past the Rookie level, and the canceled minor-league season in 2020 didn't allow him to continue his development. He could spend the 2021 campaign with the Low-A or High-A club, and he'll now be protected from the upcoming Rule 5 draft.

Vargas is opening the year in extended spring training before being assigned to a short-season affiliate in June, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will be held back with fellow high-upside hurlers Ethan Hankins and Lenny Torres. Vargas is the least refined of the trio, so we probably won't see him at Low-A until 2020. He has a monster fastball but still needs to greatly improve his command and secondary offerings. Vargas may return to the AZL but could finish the year in the New York-Penn League.
