Miguel Vargas left the fifth inning with a left wrist contusion three innings after hitting his first career grand slam. An MRI is scheduled for Friday; the sidelined duration is unknown. Vargas was hurt stretching for Curtis Mead's wide throw from just behind third base on a chopper by Aaron Judge, when Judge's left leg appeared to strike Vargas' left hand and Vargas' glove fell off as he crumpled in pain. Mead's throw arrived as Judge reached first; Judge was awarded a single and advanced to second on the wide throw that allowed Ben Rice to score, snapping a 4-all tie. Vargas was replaced at first by Mead during the Yankees' 10-4 win.
Vargas was hurt while trying to stretch for Curtis Mead's wide throw from just behind third base on a chopper by Aaron Judge. It appeared Judge's left leg struck Vargas' left hand as he ran to first. Vargas' glove fell off as he crumpled to the ground in pain. "I feel it more in the top of my hand," Vargas said after the White Sox lost 10-4. "It's a little bit sore. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get a better answer."
Mead's throw from the edge of the outfield grass and just inside the foul line arrived as Judge was just about to reach the first base bag. "It's a tough play," White Sox manager Will Venable said. "Curtis is on his heels there, does a good job to get the ball across the diamond - and then just one of those plays where Vargas, the ball and Judge all hit at the same time."
