Ildemaro Vargas Lands on Injured List, Blaze Alexander Recalled
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Wednesday that they placed infielder Ildemaro Vargas (foot) on the 10-day injured list with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot and recalled infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Vargas was hit by a pitch on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox and is now wearing a walking boot. The 33-year-old backup infielder won't be able to return until the second half of the season. Alexander will serve as infield depth in Vargas' place. The 26-year-old former 11th-round pick in 2018 made his major-league debut a year ago and hit .247 (41-for-166) with three homers, 21 RBI, three steals and 19 runs scored in 61 games played. Alexander has the ability to play multiple infield spots and center field, but with Eugenio Suarez (hand) expected back by Friday, he'll serve in a bench role for now.
