Miguel Vargas is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 7 (2023). Target Vargas as a free agent first baseman or second baseman on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: In the intro, we mentioned how some players were dropped after a cold start to the season, and Miguel Vargas fits the bill. Vargas began the season way too rostered for this column but was dropped in a ton of leagues as he was batting just .179 through two weeks.
Since mid-April, however, the Dodgers prospect has improved across the board as he's batting .262 with a .462 slugging percentage since April 15.

He's displayed elite plate discipline all season long, as evidenced by a sub-20 percent K-rate and a 15.4 percent BB rate. Now that he's hitting the ball better, Vargas should be rostered in about twice as many leagues as he is right now.
