Ildemaro Vargas - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lashes homer in loss Vargas started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-5 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Vargas connected on a sinker that didn't sink for a three-run home run in the ninth inning. It was his third homer of the season and extended a season-opening hit streak to 16 games. Batting .361 with a 1.004 OPS, Vargas is punching well above his weight; the utility infielder owns a career average of .254 and OPS of .664.

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).

Idle Saturday Vargas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Remains at 1B Vargas went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Vargas extended a season-opening hit streak to eight games with a run-scoring single in the middle of Arizona's five-run fifth inning. He started at first base again, his third in the last four games since Carlos Santana (groin) joined Pavin Smith (elbow) on the 10-day injured list. Vargas has been a serviceable utility player throughout his career, but the 34-year-old's production early in 2026 (.429 AVG, 1.146 OPS) is off the charts.

Impact Vargas started for the third consecutive game, two at first base sandwiched around one at second base. There's a path to playing time at first base with both Pavin Smith (elbow) and Carlos Santana (groin) on the 10-day injured list, and Vargas has hit safely in all seven games played. He's 11-for-24 (.458) with four extra-base hits and four RBI.
