While he waits for his October moment, Dodgers prospect Miguel Vargas, an infielder and outfielder, continues to pick up pointers from his veteran teammates.
Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger struggled at the plate and saved two runs in Game 2 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres but will be benched for Game 3.“A couple months ago, I was in OKC, trying to get my debut, and now I’m here, on the roster for the postseason,” Vargas said in the Dodgers dugout Wednesday, with a single cross hanging from his left ear and a wide smile planted on his face. “It was a long way. It means a lot. I don’t even have the words to describe it.
In his Aug. 3 debut with the Dodgers, he followed up a double in his first at-bat with an immediate, and unplanned, steal of third base. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, left, and Miguel Vargas embrace before a recent game at Dodger Stadium. That hasn’t happened yet. Vargas didn’t start Games 1 or 2, and in the latter was bypassed for an eighth-inning pinch-hit situation in favor of backup catcher Austin Barnes.
As one of the few veteran Latino players on this year’s Dodgers team, Alberto shared his own experiences as a young player with the promising Cuban native.That didn’t change following Tuesday’s announcement that Vargas had beat out Alberto for the team’s final roster spot.
