6 years agoWith New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard now on the disabled list, somebody has to take up his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, that someone could be Jason Vargas on short rest. As has been well-documented, Vargas has been terrible on normal rest, but apparently on short rest the Mets think there could be some hope. After allowing five earned runs across three innings pitched against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, Vargas’ ERA sits at an unsightly 10.62. He should very obviously not be a consideration whatsoever in any fantasy league.--John Smith
