Huge offensive performance in win Vargas went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a three-RBI triple, a double and two additional runs scored in Sunday's victory over San Diego.

Impact Vargas was a catalyst in Arizona's come-from-behind win, launching a solo homer in the sixth inning before adding a three-run triple in the eighth inning to extend the lead. While he fell a single shy of the cycle Sunday, the veteran journeyman has rarely come up short throughout the 2026 campaign. Vargas has never produced an OPS+ above 100 in a season since debuting in 2017, yet he's slashing an eye-popping .367/.383/.722 with six homers, 20 RBI and 18 runs through 20 contests.

Arenado leads Diamondbacks against the White Sox after 4-hit game

The Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Chicago White Sox after Nolan Arenado had four hits against the White Sox on Wednesday

APRIL 23 • Associated Press

Lifts pair of homers Vargas went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 11-7 win over the White Sox.

Impact Vargas made an early impact with a three-run blast in the second inning followed by a two-run homer in the third. He's launched three homers over the last two games, and he's still yet to be held hitless in any game he's played this season. This was his sixth multi-hit effort of the year. Vargas is batting a remarkable .364 with a 1.079 OPS, five homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 17 games. He has taken over as Arizona's primary first baseman while Carlos Santana (thigh) is on the injured list, though Vargas could ultimately settle in as a super-utility infielder once the team is at full health.

Still filling in at 2B Vargas started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Vargas made a third consecutive start at second base, as Ketel Marte served as the designated hitter in all three games since returning from a one-game absence due to a back issue. Vargas has hit safely in all 14 games played to start the regular season, going 20-for-53 (.377) with eight extra-base hits (two home runs), eight RBI and 11 runs. He can still find opportunities as a fill-in at first base, where both Pavin Smith (elbow, 60-day IL) and Carlos Santana (thigh) are unavailable, once Marte is ready to defend second base.

Moves to 2B Vargas started at second base, batted leadoff and went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Vargas was pressed into duty at second base and leadoff batter when Ketel Marte (back) was scratched. The utility infielder didn't miss a beat, cracking a three-run home run as part of Arizona's four-run fifth inning. Vargas has hit in all 11 games played thus far, slashing .381/.409/.667 with seven extra-base hits (two home runs) and eight RBI. Marte's injury is not considered serious, and Vargas could move back to first base, where's been a regular fill-in for Pavin Smith (elbow, 60-day IL) and Carlos Santana (thigh).
