Reds claim Kennys Vargas from the Twins

The Cincinnati Reds have claimed first baseman Kennys Vargas off waivers from the Minnesota Twins.

What It Means:

Vargas won't have a clear path to playing time behind Joey Votto, but perhaps he'll carve out a role as a bench bat for the Reds.

Last season, Vargas slashed .253/.314/.444 with 11 home runs over 264 plate appearances.
