Vargas went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran utility player began the game on the bench, but he pinch hit for Trey Lipscomb in the eighth inning and took Adam Ottavino deep -- Vargas' first long ball of the season. After a hot start to the season, Vargas is batting just .135 (5-for-37) over his last 15 appearances, and his playing time has dwindled.
