Twins' Kennys Vargas: Set for Friday lineup

Vargas is scheduled to start Friday's Grapefruit League game, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Vargas, Minnesota's likely majority DH, mainly rode the bench during Puerto Rico's deep run to the World Baseball Classic finals, so manager Paul Molitor looks poised to get him as many reps as possible before the start of the season. Byungho Park has scorched opposing pitching during Vargas' WBC absence, but Park isn't on the 40-man roster and may have to clear some hurdles to join it. Vargas nonetheless remains an interesting deep-league power source for fantasy speculators.
