Jason Vargas (arm) felt "really good" in a 50-pitch simulated game on Saturday, according to Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Vargas hasn't pitched since mid-June but may be nearing a return. The Angels will wait a few days before deciding when Vargas will throw another bullpen session, but if that goes well the next step could be a rehab assignment. The left-hander was 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA before the injury.
