Arizona reinstated Vargas (foot) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas has fully recovered from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot that landed him on the 10-day IL in late June. He recorded a hit in each of his last three rehab games with Triple-A Reno, going 3-for-11 (.273) with two runs, one triple and one RBI over that span. Vargas will likely serve in a depth role in the infield upon his return, though he could get starts at third base in games which Blaze Alexander is out of the lineup.

Vargas (foot) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and is 0-for-6 with a walk over two games for the Aces.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas played third base for seven innings Tuesday and followed up with a full game as the designated hitter Wednesday prior to getting Thursday off. With the Diamondbacks playing out the string, Vargas is not expected to have a significant role for the club over the final weeks of the regular season.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Vargas (foot) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will likely remain on assignment with Reno through the weekend before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list Aug. 18 for the start of Arizona's six-game homestand. Arizona may give Vargas to exposure to multiple infield spots during his time in the minors, but the 34-year-old could end up seeing most of his opportunities at third base once he's reinstated. Since Vargas landed on the IL on June 25 due to a fractured fifth metatarsal on his left foot, the Diamondbacks traded away Eugenio Suarez, which has opened the door for Blaze Alexander to see the bulk of the starts at the hot corner.

Vargas (foot) will participate in live batting practice Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skipper Torey Lovullo stated Monday that Vargas has already seen live at-bats in a minor-league game, and the goal is to get him more live at-bats later in the week if Tuesday's live BP session goes well. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since June 25 due to a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot and will likely need to get through a few more game before being activated.

The Diamondbacks placed Vargas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas suffered the injury in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox when he was hit by a pitch. He's been fitted with a walking boot and will miss the next several weeks of action. Blaze Alexander was called up from Triple-A Reno to absorb Vargas' spot on the roster.

Vargas (foot) left Rate Field in a walking boot Tuesday and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas was hit by a pitch on his right foot and suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal. He started at third base in place of the injured Eugenio Suarez (foot) and was replaced by Tim Tawa. The Diamondbacks have not estimated a timeframe for Vargas' return, while Suarez had his hand in a wrap and will undergo an MRI once the swelling subsides, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.

Vargas was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas took a pitch off his foot during the second inning of Tuesday's contest but remained in the game until the fourth. A trip to the injured list is likely in the 33-year-old's future, though there's currently no telling how long he'll be sidelined.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas entered the game in the bottom of the first inning after Eugenio Suarez was hit on the hand in the top of frame. X-rays of Suarez's hand came back negative, but it would not be a shock if he's held back Tuesday. This was the fourth consecutive appearance for Vargas, who started the previous three games while giving both Suarez and second baseman Ketel Marte a break from the field. Vargas has hit safely in all four contests, going 7-for-17 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and three runs scored.

Vargas started at second base and went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas' two-run homer in the fifth inning snapped a 7-7 tie. It was the first home run of the season for Vargas, who was summoned from Triple-A Reno on May 29. Friday's start was just his fourth start (sixth appearance) in 20 games with the Diamondbacks.

Vargas signed a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas opted out of his minor-league deal with Arizona on Tuesday but will now return to the organization on a big-league deal, replacing Jordan Lawlar on the MLB roster. The 33-year-old utility man slashed .261/.330/.397 across 221 plate appearances during his time in Triple-A and will give the D-backs extra depth at every infield position. He's also capable of playing in left field.
