Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Vargas moved up all the way from High-A to Triple-A in 2016, thanks to his ludicrously consistent ability to make contact. He struck out just 37 times across 575 combined plate appearances at Double-A and Triple-A last season, and if he can come anywhere near replicating the .354/.418/.449 line he posted in 49 games for Reno last season, he'll find his way to Arizona quickly. For now, though, the Diamondbacks will stick with their stable of veteran middle infielders.
