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.

🚨 WHAT IF ONE HOT STREAK JUST CHANGED AN ENTIRE ROSTER BATTLE? Minnesota Twins suddenly find themselves in the middle of a depth-chart shakeup as an unexpected standout continues to push his case for a permanent role, forcing difficult decisions as roster spots become tighter and performance becomes the only currency that matters. ⚾ What started as a “fill-in” opportunity has turned into real pressure on established names, with consistency and timing now outweighing reputation in the evaluation process. When someone outside the expected rotation starts producing under pressure, the ripple effect hits everyone. And that’s where names like James Outman enter the conversation — not because of decline alone, but because roster construction in baseball is ruthless when momentum shifts at the wrong time. 🔥 In MLB, opportunities don’t wait… and neither do roster decisions. #MNTwins #Twins #MLB #MinnesotaTwins #RosterBattle #MLBNews #BaseballUpdates #GameDay #BreakingNews #BaseballCulture
