Vargas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports. The slumping Vargas is out of Minnesota's lineup for a third straight game, and with no injury reported, it seems he's just losing at-bats because of his poor performance. The Twins may not have great alternatives at the DH spot, but Vargas' peripheral and traditional statistics are both looking pretty ugly. His strikeout rate (29.5 percent) and swinging-strike rate (18.7 percent) are both sky-high, while his fly-ball rate (15.8 percent) is shockingly low for a supposed power hitter. Vargas has a .161 batting average through 56 at-bats, with just one home run, three runs and four RBI. Eduardo Nunez is batting fifth and serving as the designated hitter Tuesday night.
