Hitting streak comes to end
Vargas went 0-for-4 in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.
Analysis
Arizona's offense was limited to four hits and zero runs by Chicago, so Vargas certainly wasn't the only Diamondback to have a quiet day at the plate. The veteran infielder entered the game with three straight multi-hit performances and a 24-game hitting streak to open the campaign, and he's still slashing a robust .388/.412/.673 overall, so Saturday's hitless effort shouldn't dim what has been an out-of-nowhere torrid start.

Stat Review
How does Ildemaro Vargas compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
Vargas signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks, the utility infielder's third stint in the desert. Other than his position versatility - Vargas played at least 50 innings at third base, shortstop, second base and left field in 2024 - there's not much to spark interest. He makes contact but there's little impact; Vargas has a .643 OPS with 17 home runs over 420 MLB games. The Diamondbacks have a need for a utility player after Kevin Newman bolted for the Angels, and Vargas will be a candidate along with Blaze Alexander and possibly Tim Tawa.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Value as trade piece
Jon Morosi of MLB Network said Friday he believes Vargas will "have a lot of value" ahead of the August 1 trade deadline.
Analysis
The utility man went down early in the season with a shoulder injury and has played just 16 games since he returned from the IL on May 3, but he's hit well during that stretch with an .896 OPS and 10 RBI. Vargas isn't likely to be a lineup regular in 2023, but his versatility could provide some solid value for contending teams.
