Vargas was pulled from his game in Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday night after drawing a second-inning walk. He'll join the Dodgers' taxi squad in New York before being activated on Thursday.

The twenty-two-year-old has dominated at the Triple-A level this season, slashing a phenomenal .304/.404/.511, with 17 home runs, 82 RBI and 16 stolen bases over 113 games. He also has 71 walks to his 76 strikeouts, a testimony to his patience at the plate. 

Vargas already played two games with the Dodgers this season and had two hits, two RBI and a stolen base. He can also play all over the diamond defensively, which improves his value significantly. 

Vargas is the Dodgers' third-ranked prospect and the 44th ranked prospect in all of baseball.
