Los Angeles Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts informed reporters Saturday in Houston that Miguel Vargas might quickly see time at third base, the place he’s been taking floor balls.
“I’ll resolve — it might occur (Sunday), we’ll see. He’s working actually exhausting. I’ve seen it and it’s getting nearer, completely.”
The Dodgers have been looking for a place Vargas can name residence. He got here up as a 3rd baseman, was moved to second base, after which transitioned to the outfield.
“They’re making an attempt to provide me a spot, any alternative, any place,” Vargas mentioned, trying on the intense aspect of all of the strikes. “I’m glad to have that kind of versatility as a result of the Dodgers if you happen to see they’ve bought 4 or 5 guys that may do this. To me, it’s a superb factor.”
Offense is what stands in the best way between Vargas and extra common taking part in time. However with Max Muncy not anticipated again till a minimum of August, Vargas began taking floor balls and dealing at third base earlier than video games when he’s not within the lineup that night time.
“I believe it’s simply extra of giving him time to get acclimated over there at third base,” Roberts mentioned. “We’ve actually tried to get him to deal with taking part in left discipline and I simply don’t suppose it’s honest to him to now attempt to carry out within the batter’s field and play a place I don’t suppose he’s performed within the massive leagues … then to only throw him on the market. We simply need to give him time to sort of get his re-conditioning at third base down.”
