Carlos Miguel Vargas (born October 13, 1999) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.
Career
Cleveland Indians / Guardians
Vargas was signed by the Cleveland Indians as an international free agent on July 2, 2016.[1] The Indians selected Vargas' contract on November 20, 2020, adding him to their 40-man roster.[2]
In April 2021, Vargas underwent ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (Tommy John surgery),[3] causing him to miss the entire 2021 season. He began the 2022 season on the rebranded Cleveland Guardians' major league 60-day injured list as he continued to recover from surgery. Vargas was activated from the injured list on July 18, 2022, and optioned to the Double-A Akron RubberDucks. He was promoted to the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers, on September 3, 2022.
The Guardians recalled Vargas to their active roster on September 16, 2022.[4] He was optioned back to Columbus on September 20 without having made an appearance for the Guardians, becoming a phantom ballplayer.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Vargas was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks on November 15, 2022, in exchange for minor league pitcher Ross Carver.[5] On March 28, 2023, it was announced that Vargas had made the Opening Day roster.[6]
