White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Takes part in BP
Rotowire
Vargas (oblique) took batting practice Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Vargas relayed after the workout that he didn't feel hindered by his left oblique strain and said that he hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list without going on a rehab assignment first. That decision will be up to the White Sox, but the team could grant Vargas' request since the 25-year-old has missed just over a week of action thus far. If Vargas does bypass a rehab assignment, he could return for this weekend's series in Kansas City.

The White Sox placed Vargas on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Diagnosed with oblique strain
Rotowire
Vargas was scratched from Saturday's game against the Angels due to a left oblique strain.
Vargas was originally slated to start at first base but was scratched just before the beginning of Saturday's contest. The White Sox later announced that Vargas is dealing with a left oblique strain and is being further evaluated. Given the nature of the injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Vargas has to miss more than just Saturday's contest, though it's not yet clear how severe the issue is. Lenyn Sosa shifted from the keystone over to first base Saturday after Vargas was pulled and may make more starts there if the latter needs to miss additional time.

Rotowire
Vargas is no longer in the starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.
Vargas was originally slated to start at first base and bat cleanup, but he was removed from the lineup just before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear what prompted his removal.

Vargas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Phillies.
Vargas played his part in a seven-run seventh inning for the White Sox, blasting his 13th home run of the season. He hasn't had a strong July, but he has performed well since the All-Star break by collecting at least one hit in eight of his 12 starts. In that span, Vargas has popped three homers, driven in nine and scored 12 runs.
Vargas went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 win versus the Rays.
Vargas drew his fifth consecutive start at first base and homered for the second consecutive contest with a two-run long ball off Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz in the fifth. Before these back-to-back games with home runs, Vargas was mired in a 26-game homerless drought during which he batted .158 (15-for-95), so perhaps he is turning a corner. Across 400 total plate appearances, the 25-year-old has a .711 OPS with 12 homers, four steals, 51 runs scored and 40 RBI.
