GLENDALE, AZ – The Dodgers are set to play their first official spring training game tomorrow against the Milwaukee Brewers. On the eve of game day, manager Dave Roberts hinted at what LA’s lineup would look like for the Cactus League lid-lifter. Among the players he mentioned was second baseman Miguel Vargas, who injured his right pinkie finger early in camp.
So, how is he supposed to play in a baseball game if he’s not allowed to swing a bat just yet? Well, Roberts answered that question in a media scrum on Friday.
The Dodgers have apparently worked out a deal with the Brewers to let Vargas play defense but not have to bat in the game.
