Vargas was demoted to Triple-A after batting .195 in the first half. Fellow rookie James Outman has also struggled but has shown signs of turning it around
NEW YORK — Miguel Vargas had hit at every level he touched in the minor leagues. It seemed like a safe bet that he would hit in the major leagues, too.during the All-Star break after hitting .195 in 81 games as the team’s primary second baseman.
“No,” Roberts said. “We just felt that his first month was so good that it essentially bought him a lot of time. I think that’s what we felt.” “Right now, I think that’s where he’s at. Somewhere in the middle, like most things. I think the conversations that I’ve had with him, that’s all we’re looking for. He’s not supposed to be a carrier. He doesn’t need to be with this team. If he’s somewhere in the middle, he’s going to be very helpful for us this year and as he gets more experience, he’ll be more of a carrier.
Betts said he doesn’t know Ohtani well and has said “maybe 10 words total” to the Japanese star. Asked if those 10 words were a pitch for Ohtani to sign with the Dodgers next winter, Betts laughed.Right-hander Noah Syndergaard joined Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and began his minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment.
