Vargas is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over 25 games with the Twins this season, Vargas is hitting .259/.379/.576 with six home runs and 13 RBI. However, he's struggled recently with Rochester. In his last 10 games, he's gone 7-for-33 with 10 strikeouts, bringing his batting average down to .233 for the year. Once he joins the big club, Vargas will add depth at first base, but can also be an option in the DH spot.

Vargas was officially optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, the Star Tribune's LaVelle Neal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite hitting three homers in his last 33 plate appearances, Vargas was hitting just .148 over that span and had been left out of the lineup more often than not. He makes way for pitching prospect Adalberto Mejia, but Vargas could be back with the team when rosters expand in September.

EDGE Analysis

While the team is yet to make an official announcement, Vargas' name is not included on Saturday's lineup card, and Triple-A left-hander Adalberto Mejia has joined the team in Kansas City. Vargas has appeared in 25 games for the Twins on the season, putting up a .259/.379/.576 slash line across 85 at-bats.

Vargas went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the first game of Thursday's double-header against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas has been impressive since getting called up on July 4, and kept it going Thursday afternoon by putting his name in the team's record books. He hit a solo homer off Doug Fister in the second while batting left-handed before hitting a two-run homer off lefty Tony Sipp in the eighth batting right-handed. Vargas joins Roy Smalley, Chili Davis and Ryan Doumit as the only Twins to homer from both sides of the plate in one game. The 26-year-old continues seeing spot work this month, but his 1.041 OPS through 77 at-bat's makes Vargas a must-start when he's in the lineup.

Vargas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

Vargas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and two walks Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas' fourth homer of the year gave the Twins a 3-0 lead in the first inning that they'd never relinquish. He finished July on a high-note, collecting hits in seven straight games to raise his slash line to .333/.446/.683 in 60 at-bats on the season.

Vargas is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox, Brandon Warne of ColdOmahaMN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas is getting his second game off in Minnesota's last two as recent callup Jorge Polanco fills in at DH, batting seventh. Vargas is currently in the midst of a six game hit streak during which he's slashed .318/.407/.455 with three runs and four RBI.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vargas will get a day of Thursday as Robbie Grossman takes over the designated hitter's spot. In the past five games, Vargas has gone 6-for-18 with three RBI and three doubles, and has provided a nice bat to the lineup since being recalled from Triple-A in early July.

Vargas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has hit the ground running since his return to the majors, going 12-for-39 (.308 average) with 10 of those hits going for extra bases. Vargas will head to the bench Friday against a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez), as he did Monday the last time the Twins faced a lefty, but it looks like Vargas will be a regular part of the Minnesota lineup against right-handed pitching moving forward.
