The Chicago White Sox have announced that infielder Miguel Vargas has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 25-year-old, who was acquired from the Dodgers earlier this season, has had a challenging year, batting .229 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs across 106 games. Vargas was notably absent from the lineup during the White Sox's recent victory against the Angels. In response to this injury, the team has recalled Curtis Mead from Triple-A Charlotte, who has also struggled at the plate this season, hitting .226 with three home runs and eight RBIs.

In a parallel move, the White Sox have claimed left-hander Bryan Hudson and right-hander Elvis Peguero off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers, both of whom will be assigned to Charlotte. These roster adjustments come as the team fights to remain competitive in a tough division, with Vargas's absence likely impacting their offensive capabilities.
