The Philadelphia Phillies acquired left-hander Jason Vargas in a trade with the division-rival New York Mets on Monday.
Jason Vargas has been placed on the 10-day disabled list by the New York Mets with a strained calf a day before his scheduled start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In an era so filled with whiffs that it's pushing Nolan Ryan himself down all-time lists, pitching to contact still exists.
The New York Mets will skip Jason Vargas' next turn in the rotation on Tuesday.
Matt Harvey, who was tagged Thursday night for six runs in six innings in a 12-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves, has been taken out of the New York Mets' starting rotation.
With Zack Wheeler set to pitch for the Mets on Wednesday, it will be the first time Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz, Matt Harvey and Wheeler make a rotation turn together.
