Vargas went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three total RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 14-1 win over the Athletics. Even though Tristan Peters grabbed all the headlines after hitting for the cycle, Vargas was locked in at the plate as well and racked up eight total bases. The star third baseman snapped a five-game homer drought with his solo shot in the eighth inning off Carlos Cortes, and he has 21 on the year. He ranks third among all AL third basemen in homers this season behind Junior Caminero (28) and Kazuma Okamoto (22).

He later doubled and drew two free passes, reaching base in all four plate appearances. Vargas has now hit safely in six straight games, batting .435 (10-for-23) with three homers during that span. Through 81 games this season, he owns an .866 OPS while slugging his way to 19 home runs, 14 doubles, one triple, 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and 10 stolen bases.

Vargas could be available off the bench Wednesday in Seattle after X-rays on his hand came back negative, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports. Vargas was hit by a Luis Castillo offering in Tuesday's win over the Mariners. He was able to stay in that contest and has avoided a serious injury, but Vargas will get a day out of the lineup in Wednesday's series finale. The White Sox will start Colson Montgomery and Luisangel Acuna on the left side of their infield.
