Vargas went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Rays in 15 innings.
The ugly performance lowered Vargas' slash line to .258/.280/.483 in 93 plate appearances. Soon after, he was demoted to Triple-A Rochester. The switch-hitting power bat has managed five home runs on the year but has fanned 22 times (23.7 percent strikeout rate) and is unlikely to carry a respectable average for his fantasy owners whenever he gets back to the bigs. He's also been much more effective against righties (.362 with all five dingers) than lefties (.087).
