With two starts now behind him this spring, Royals left-hander Jason Vargas doesn’t feel like anything is out of the ordinary.
This is a good thing.
Vargas had Tommy John surgery in July 2015 and returned to make three starts late last season. That’s why an innocuous outing — one run allowed on three hits in two innings on Saturday in a 9-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds — is just fine.
“Everything is good — my arm feels great,” Vargas said. “This spring feels like a lot of other springs. You’ve got to go out there and build up and execute when things matter.
