Vargas (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas is ready to make his 2022 season debut after spending just under 14 months recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Guardians added Vargas to their 40-man roster during the offseason, but once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, he'll likely be optioned to Akron and continue to make regular starts for the affiliate.
