Vargas (elbow) is listed on the Rockies' roster for its March 16 Spring Breakout game versus White Sox prospects, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Vargas appears to be back to full health after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July 2023 and missing the entire 2024 season. Before getting the elbow procedure, Vargas had been pitching for Single-A Fresno and turned in a 4.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 69:24 K:BB in 64 innings over his 13 starts in 2023.

Rockies' Jordy Vargas: Set for Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Vargas will undergo Tommy John surgery this week, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The 19-year-old is part of a trio of Rockies pitching prospects that need to go under the knife (Gabriel Hughes and Jackson Cox being the others). Vargas made 13 starts with Single-A Fresno this season, holding a 4.22 ERA and 69:24 K:BB over 64 innings. He probably won't pitch in games again until 2025.
