Minnesota Twins infielder Ildemaro Vargas has been designated for assignment by the team, it announced Wednesday afternoon.
Vargas had been handling utility infield duties in the absence of Josh Donaldson, but the latter is making his return to the team. Needing to clear a spot on the active roster, the Twins are letting Vargas walk.
In 45 plate appearances this season, Vargas has a .190 batting average and a .484 OPS.
