Vargas exits with elbow pain, set to have MRI

KANSAS CITY -- Left-hander Jason Vargas, who already has been on the disabled list twice this season because of a left flexor strain, left Tuesday night's game against the Pirates in the second inning with another apparent left arm injury.

After throwing a 2-1 pitch to Pirates third baseman Brent Morel with one out in the second, Vargas grimaced and his left arm seemed to go limp. It was Vargas' first start since returning from the disabled list prior to the game.
