Ildemaro Vargas to Retain Playing Time at First Base for Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ildemaro Vargas is set to maintain his role at first base, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Despite the looming return of Carlos Santana from a thigh injury, Lovullo indicated there are no plans to reduce Vargas's playing time. Vargas was in the starting lineup for the May 7th matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The versatile infielder has secured a consistent spot in the lineup through his performance while filling in for injured teammates.
