Miguel Vargas Fantasy Stats

The Chicago White Sox announced on Wednesday that they reinstated infielder Miguel Vargas (hand) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Bryan Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Vargas is back at third base and will hit sixth in his return on Wednesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Griffin Jax. The 25-year-old has been out for two weeks with a left-hand sprain, but now that he's back, he should be a lineup regular for the Pale Hose the rest of the way in 2025. In his first full year in the Windy City, Vargas has slashed .234/.315/.404 at the plate with a .719 OPS, a career-high 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 69 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 121 games played. The Cuban infielder was hitting better in August before his hand injury, batting .281 (16-for-57) with a homer, five doubles, and eight RBI in 16 games.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they placed infielder Miguel Vargas (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a left-hand sprain and recalled rookie first baseman Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. With Vargas heading to the IL, Curtis Mead will make the start at third in Friday's contest against the visiting New York Yankees and will bat fifth against left-hander Carlos Rodon. Vargas injured his hand in Thursday night's loss to New York when he was involved in a collision at first base. With Chicago's season practically already over, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding out hope that the 25-year-old will return before the end of the season. The Cuban infielder does have a career-high 14 home runs in his first full season on the South Side, but he's also hit a pedestrian .234/.315/.404 with 52 RBI, 69 runs and four steals in 121 games.

Chicago White Sox utility man Miguel Vargas left Thursday's game with a left wrist contusion. He will undergo further testing today, the Chicago White Sox report. Vargas attempted to field an errant throw at first base and collided with Aaron Judge, injuring his wrist in the process. While the initial diagnosis is a contusion, Vargas will undergo further imaging, and all indications point towards a trip to the injured list; however, at this time, he is considered day-to-day. Vargas has been solid for the White Sox lately, slashing .286/.444/.571 over his last seven days. Michael Taylor entered the game for Vargas after he left. Fantasy managers who are in a tight playoff race will likely want to move on from Vargas, as he was a streamer bat at best in most formats.

Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas (wrist) was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Vargas was attempting to make a catch at first base when Yankees' outfielder Aaron Judge ran into his arm which bent back his wrist. Vargas exited the contest and finished the game 1-for-2 with a home run and four RBI. The team is calling the injury a wrist contusion, but Vargas is likely going to undergo further imaging. For now, fantasy managers should consider Vargas as day-to-day. Curtis Mead moved over to first base and could see increased time at the cold corner if Vargas is forced to miss time.

The Chicago White Sox reinstated infielder Miguel Vargas (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, the team announced. Vargas is starting at first base and is batting sixth in Tuesday's contest against the division-rival Detroit Tigers and right-hander Jack Flaherty. The 25-year-old miss the minimum of 10 days due to a minor oblique strain, and he'll be hoping to continue swinging a hot bat after he had an .874 OPS in 13 games since the All-Star break. Overall, though, the Cuban infielder has hit a very mediocre .229/.305/.402 on the season with a .707 OPS, 13 home runs, 44 RBI, 57 runs and four stolen bases in his 393 at-bats. There's not a ton of fantasy upside here, especially in DFS. Vargas has faced Flaherty 10 times in his career and has two hits.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas (oblique) took batting practice on Monday, reports Scott Merkin of MLB.com. He reportedly felt very good after the fact and is hopeful to return to the roster without a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since August 1 with an oblique strain, so it looks like he could return with missing almost the minimum amount of time. The youngster has been starting to find himself at the plate and establish himself at the big league level with everyday playing time in Chicago, tallying 13 home runs, 44 RBI, and 57 runs in 106 games.

The Chicago White Sox announced that they have placed infielder Miguel Vargas (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique, retroactive to Aug. 2. The club recalled infielder Curtis Mead from Triple-A Charlotte to take Vargas' roster spot. The 25-year-old Vargas is one of the few White Sox to put up decent numbers over a large sample of work this season. He's hitting .229/.305/.402 with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 57 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 439 plate appearances. Defensively, Vargas has divided his time between the two corner infield positions. The White Sox started Lenyn Sosa at first and Brooks Baldwin at third in his absence on Saturday, and they'll do the same Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas (oblique) was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup ahead of the Los Angeles Angels. He was slated to start at first base, but pulled out of the lineup due to an oblique issue. The expectation is that Vargas will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Vargas as day-to-day. Lenyn Sosa moved over to first base in place of Vargas. He could see a few more starts over at the cold corner if Vargas misses a few games.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas had a big day in his team's 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Thursday. Vargas went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, a walk, and two runs scored in the one-run loss. The veteran has been a productive bat for the Sox this season, hitting .242 with 17 doubles, one triple, nine homers, 32 runs, 30 RBI, and two stolen bases across 240 at-bats. After hitting under .200 in each of his previous three seasons, this season's modest breakout is a welcome sight for Vargas and fantasy gamers. He has worked his way into the conversation as a viable reserve corner infield option in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas had a big night in his team's 6-4 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday. Vargas went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, and three RBI in the loss.

Vargas is now hitting .244 with 14 doubles, eight homers, 24 runs, 26 RBI, and one steal as one of the few bright spots in the Chicago batting order this season. He has been on a tear of late, with six homers and 14 RBI over his past 15 contests.
