Perdomo Out, Vargas In for D-backs | MLB News

Geraldo Perdomo’s knee soreness sidelines him for Tuesday’s game, but it’s not the same knee he rehabbed last year — a promising sign. Manager Torey Lovullo called it a 50/50 chance to play, noting Perdomo would’ve stayed in if the game was closer. Vargas steps in at shortstop, where Perdomo’s elite defense is irreplaceable — even though his bat has been solid lately. With the playoffs looming and the Rockies struggling, this rest might be just what the Diamondbacks need to keep their key player healthy.
