            Minors transactions: Jason Vargas officially joined the 51s roster on his MLB rehab assignment. Michael Gibbons was sent back to St. Lucie. Briam Campusano was sent back to extended spring training – I imagine we’ll see him again with Columbia once they promote someone from the Cola rotation.
