The rookie second baseman walked four times when he was prohibited from swinging the bat early in spring training. He walked five times in the first two games of the regular season too.
LOS ANGELES – Miguel Vargas has never been much of a walker.
Then he had to stop swinging after suffering a hairline fracture in his right pinkie this spring. Like a bite from a radioactive spider, that injury seems to have given Vargas a new superpower – or at least a greater appreciation for plate discipline. That is the most walks in the first three games of a season by a Dodgers player since at least 1901, according to MLB statistician Sarah Langs.
