The Chicago White Sox placed infielder Miguel Vargas on the 10-day injured list with a left hand sprain after he was injured in a collision with Aaron Judge during Thursday’s game against the New York Yankees.

Vargas, 25, bent his arm and wrist backward while trying to field an off-line throw at first base and remained down on the field before exiting the game in the fifth inning. He went 1-for-2 with his first career grand slam in the 6-3 loss.

 

The Cuban-born infielder is batting .234 with 30 doubles, 14 home runs, 52 RBIs and 69 runs over 121 games this season, his second with Chicago. He leads the White Sox with 445 at-bats.

To fill his roster spot, the team recalled rookie first baseman Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old is hitting .292 with 24 home runs and 64 RBIs in 82 minor league games this season. Elko has already made three stints with Chicago in 2025, hitting .145 with four home runs across 20 games.
