Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas was sent down despite a strong spring in which he hit .367/.397/.500. He'll have a chance to get called up when injuries hit the Diamondbacks' infield.

Vargas went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's spring game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas batted leadoff and served as designated hitter Tuesday and came up with an RBI-double during the second inning. The 27-year-old is putting together a fantastic spring training as he is 10-for-22 with five runs scored and seven RBI in nine games.

Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas put together a nice season with Triple-A Reno prior to earning a promotion, slashing .311/.348/.445 with seven homers and 10 stolen bases across 124 with the Aces. He'll serve as a utility option off the bench for the Diamondbacks over the final month of the season.

Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With newly-acquired Eduardo Escobar added to the active roster, the Diamondbacks needed to clear a spot on the 25-man roster, and Vargas was an obvious casualty. He will continue to serve as organizational depth and should be recalled when rosters expand in September to work as a utility option off the bench.

Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas, who has just 13 career MLB plate appearances under his belt, should serve as a utility infielder in the short term. Jake Lamb (shoulder contusion) was placed on the disabled list as a corresponding move, so Vargas could very well be sent back down if Lamb is able to return before September. Vargas, 27, is hitting .300/.340/.425 with four home runs and nine steals in 427 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League.

Vargas went 5-for-5 with a double and a stolen base Thursday for Triple-A Reno in its 5-3 win over Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

The career-best five-hit performance extended Vargas' hitting streak to 19 games, with the infielder now maintaining a .412/.474/.529 slash line in July. The 27-year-old received his first MLB action last summer but has yet to earn a promotion to the big leagues in 2018 with the Diamondbacks' top three middle infielders -- Nick Ahmed, Ketel Marte and Daniel Descalso -- all steering clear of the disabled list. So long as that trio stays healthy in the second half, Vargas likely won't receive a promotion until September.

The Diamondbacks optioned Vargas to Triple-A Reno on Friday, Owen Perkins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas and Jack Reinheimer were both bidding for utility roles with the big club, but neither was viewed as a likely candidate to make the Opening Day roster so long as Chris Owings and Daniel Descalso maintained health in spring training. As a result, Vargas will report to Reno for the second straight season and should handle a full-time role in the Pacific Coast League until the Diamondbacks have a need for another infielder.

Vargas was sent to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas reached the majors for the first time in 2017, grabbing four hits in 13 at-bats. He'll return to Reno, where he posted a .312/.355/.462 line in 113 games last year. With another strong performance at Triple-A, Vargas could return to the majors in a bench role at some point in 2018.

Vargas (hand) has appeared in six Cactus League games for the Diamondbacks this spring after undergoing right hamate bone surgery in October.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas was expected to be healthy by the time spring camp rolled around, and he's been given a shot to show his potential in front of the organization after appearing in 12 big-league games last season. In 11 at-bats thus far, Vargas has picked up two hits and one RBI while adding three walks and should continue to receive more reps throughout the spring.

Vargas underwent surgery to remove his right hamate bone in October.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will now turn his focus towards getting ready for the start of spring training. The 26-year-old hit .308/.308/.385 during his 12-game stint with Arizona last season, but doesn't figure to break camp with the big club.
