According to the Pacific Coast League transaction page, the Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers) have signed right-handed pitcher Claudio Vargas. The Brewers gave Vargas his unconditional release in early June.

Vargas was with the Dodgers in 2009 before he was traded to the Brewers in July for catcher Vinny Rottino. Vargas was 1-0 with a 7.32 ERA in 17 appearances for the Brewers this season.
