Miguel Vargas a late addition to Dodgers' Thursday lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Vargas is starting Thursday in the team's game against the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

Vargas was originally slated to begin Thursday's game on the bench. However, that has changed with Trayce Thompson's scratch. Now, Vargas will start in left field, batting seventh in the order versus Padres starter Steven Wilson.

In 40 plate appearances this season, Vargas has a .179 batting average with a .482 OPS, 1 home run, 3 runs, 5 RBI and 1 stolen base.
