Vargas, playing third base for the Nationals, has been a revelation this season. Over his last three games, he showcased his batting prowess by hitting an impressive .600 in one game and maintaining a .250 average overall. His ability to get on base and drive in runs has been crucial for the Nationals, making him a player to watch in the upcoming game.
