Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW
White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Knocks in one
Vargas went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk Saturday against the Mets.
Vargas has struggled since being dealt to the White Sox, as he has collected only eight hits across 76 at-bats with one homer, four RBI and five runs scored. While poor team context deflates some of his numbers, he's also struck out at a 27.9 percent clip in that span. Despite those struggles, Vargas has remained the White Sox's primary third baseman, which should continue at least until Yoan Moncada (thigh) can return.

He sustained the injury in the eighth inning, when Ezequiel Tovar slid into third base and collided with Urias' right foot.
