Miguel Vargas was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left-oblique strain, marking his first injury since joining the majors. This comes at a critical time as the Sox have won 10 of their last 14 games, with Vargas hitting .296 and contributing significantly to the team's success. Manager Will Venable acknowledged the impact of Vargas' absence, noting his leadership and performance. Although the team believes the injury is mild, Vargas may require weeks for recovery, requiring caution in his treatment and rehabilitation.
"It kind of sucks having this setback at this point of the season," said Vargas, who was scratched from Saturday night's lineup after feeling a twinge in his side during batting practice. "I want to be on the field with my team, especially now, when we are playing so much better at baseball. I've really been enjoying winning baseball games."
"Vargy has been one of our guys the whole year, a leader in the clubhouse and a performer on the field, especially after a tough start," Sox manager Will Venable said. "We're gonna miss him a lot. It's a tough blow for us."
