Vargas went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 13-8 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old doubled his homer total on the year by going yard in the fifth and ninth innings -- part of an eight-HR explosion by the D-backs that set a new club record, and a 13-HR slugfest between the two teams that set a new major-league record. Vargas is now slashing .266/.298/.413 through 42 games with 12 RBI and 16 runs.

Vargas started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas stepped in for third sacker Eduardo Escobar, who was given an off day. He has been getting regular duty at second base with Wilmer Flores (foot) sidelined and has started five of the last seven games.

Vargas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas finds himself on the bench for the second straight game after starting six of the previous seven games at second base. The 27-year-old has a .977 OPS over his last 11 games. Ketel Marte is starting at the keystone Friday while Jarrod Dyson takes over in center field.

Vargas is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will hit the bench after starting the past four games and going 5-for-13 with a double and 1:1 K:BB during that stretch. Ketel Marte is covering the keystone Wednesday, with Jarrod Dyson getting a start in center field as a result.

Vargas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas collected multiple hits for the fourth time in his last five starts. He's getting three-to-four starts per week while helping to fill in for the injured Wilmer Flores (foot) and hitting .412 (14-for-34) over nine games since his callup. The Diamondbacks have not given a timetable for Flores' return, so anticipate him staying in the majors for the short term, sharing second base with Ketel Marte.

Vargas is not starting Friday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas had started six of eight games heading into Friday's contest, hitting .370 over that stretch. Ketel Marte starts at second base in his absence, with Jarrod Dyson starting in center field.

Vargas went 2-for-2 with three walks and a pair of singles in Wednesday's loss at Coors Field.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas hadn't earned a free pass all season but changed that with a trio of walks at Coors Field, showing impressive awareness of the strike zone. He also tacked on two singles to successfully reach base all five times for the second time this week. Unfortunately, he did not record any RBI or runs. Without a consistent spot in the lineup, it's hard to see much upside here. The 27-year-old is batting .273/.300/.390 with two home runs through 77 plate appearances.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will take a seat after making three consecutive starts, including one Friday in which he piled up a career-high five hits. Though he doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role, Vargas should nonetheless see his opportunities increase while Wilmer Flores (foot) remains on the 10-day injured list.

Vargas went 5-for-6 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 18-2 victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas homered to deep left center off Drew Pomeranz in the first inning for his second long ball of the season. Overall, the Diamondbacks scored 18 runs to set a new record at Oracle Park. The 27-year-old played a big part in Arizona's success and has been a solid addition after getting recalled from Triple-A Reno to fill in for Wilmer Flores while he recovers from a foot contusion. In 28 games with Arizona, Vargas is batting .246/.246/.385 with 10 runs scored, six RBI, and a stolen base.

Vargas will start at second base and serve as the Diamondbacks' leadoff hitter Wednesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrod Dyson will check out of the lineup with a lefty (Eric Lauer) on the bump for San Diego, opening the door for Vargas to set the table for the second time this season. The leadoff assignment gives Vargas some more intrigue than usual for DFS purposes, though it's worth noting he's only been a career .218/.227/.333 (43 wRC+) hitter in his limited opportunities to date at the MLB level.
