EDGE Analysis

Vargas was reportedly dealing with shoulder stiffness Monday, and now will officially be out for at least 10 days with a strained left shoulder. With Luis Garcia still day-to-day with a hamstring injury, Michael Chavis or the newly-recalled Jeter Downs will fill in at second base for the time being.
