Vargas' play in the minors has also earned him playing time in the major leagues and has appeared in 18 games this season for the Dodgers. In those 18 games, Vargas had one home run with eight RBI's on a .170 batting average.

Vargas proves once again the Dodgers know how to develop their prospects and it is expected that Vargas will be called upon again soon for the Dodgers. When the opportunity arises, Vargas takes it.

Vargas played in the Cuban National League in 2014 but has been apart of the Dodgers farm system since 2018. Vargas has spent most of his playing days in the minors with a career batting average of .313.

Although unable to record a hit against the Rockies, Vargas appeared in four of the six games in the final series of the season.
