Vargas in the fold for Game 2 of Brewers-Pads
Claudio Vargas re-joined the Brewers on Saturday, a day after he was traded back to Milwaukee in a deal with the Dodgers. He was surprised to learn he had been traded.
“Yeah, especially here,” said Vargas, who was released by the Brewers 16 months ago.
There’s no immediate plan to stretch Vargas out as a starter, so he’ll simply join the bullpen mix tonight against San Diego. Here’s the lineup, with the surging Corey Hart (.342 over his last 21 games including a seven-game hitting streak) moved up in the order:
Felipe Lopez 2B
Corey Hart RF
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Mike Cameron CF
J.J. Hardy SS
Jason Kendall C
Mike Burns RHP
Adam McCalvy
