    The Dodgers will recall Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Dodgers are also set to activate Jason Heyward (back) from the injured list. There's no word yet on what the corresponding moves will be, but a demotion for James Outman is one scenario. Vargas has been used exclusively in left field with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, slashing .295/.437/.583 with eight home runs and eight stolen bases. He could see ample playing time in left field for the Dodgers. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm

  • Gets break Friday
    Caballero is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero has started in the majority of games for Tampa Bay at shortstop this season, but he will get a break as the Rays kick off their series with Toronto. It's the 27-year-old's sixth absences in 46 this season, and he's slashing .252/.309/.360 with 17 stolen bases and 13 RBI. Amed Rosario will get the start in place of Caballero at shortstop and against the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm

  • Activated from IL
    Mendick (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

    Advice: Mendick was placed on the injured list in early May with soreness in his back and only needed two rehab starts before being activated. During those two Triple-A games, Mendick went 0-for-8 with two walks and a run scored. He'll replace Braden Shewmake on the big-league roster and could see immediate action at third base with Bryan Ramos on the 10-day IL with a strained left quad. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
