BREAKING: The Chicago White Sox have placed infielder Miguel Vargas on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, just announced today. This decision comes after Vargas was scratched from Saturday night’s tense 1-0 victory against the Los Angeles Angels.
Vargas, 25, has been a significant player for the White Sox since joining the team as part of a three-team trade in July 2024. Currently, he is batting .229 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs across 106 games. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as the team navigates the final stretch of the season.
In a swift response, the White Sox have recalled infielder Curtis Mead from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of their series finale against the Angels. Mead, who is just 24 years old, previously joined the White Sox in a trade that sent right-hander Adrian Houser to Tampa Bay on Thursday. He has a current batting average of .226, with three home runs and eight RBIs compiled over 49 games this season.
The White Sox have also made additional roster adjustments by claiming left-hander Bryan Hudson and right-hander Elvis Peguero off waivers from Milwaukee, assigning them to Charlotte as well. These moves indicate a proactive approach by the White Sox to ensure depth in their roster amid injuries.
As the team prepares to face the Angels without Vargas, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these changes impact their performance on the field. The urgency of this situation highlights the challenges teams face as injuries mount during the competitive season.
Stay tuned for more updates on Vargas’ recovery and the White Sox’s efforts to adjust their lineup. This story is developing, and further details are expected soon.
