White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Keeps up power surge
Vargas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.
Vargas tied the game at 1-1 with his fourth-inning solo shot off Colin Rea. Over his last nine games, Vargas has logged five multi-hit efforts, going 12-for-34 (.353) with four homers, four doubles and nine RBI. The infielder is up to a .245/.328/.421 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored, 10 doubles and one stolen base over 180 plate appearances. He continues to play on a near-everyday basis amid this recent strong stretch.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Two homers in loss
Vargas went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double and three RBI against the Cubs on Friday.
There was some concern that Vargas would lose playing time after the promotion of Tim Elko, but he's instead had the most productive stretch of his season while shifting back to third base. He has started four consecutive games and gone 8-for-18 with three homers, seven RBI and four runs scored. After a very slow start to the season, he now has a .731 OPS with five home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across 42 games.

Vargas drove in his first runs since he last homered May 1 and it was his second game this season with at least three RBI. He's looked much better at the plate over the last few weeks, slashing .328/.414/.541 with three homers, nine RBI, 10 runs and a 9:7 BB:K in 17 games.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Nursing leg injury
Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins due to a right calf injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Though Vargas will hit the bench for a second day in a row, his injury is considered minor, and he'll be available to play Sunday if needed. The 25-year-old has mostly held down an everyday role this season, but the White Sox plan to rotate Vargas, Andrew Vaughn and the newly promoted Tim Elko at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching. Vargas should still play regularly against lefties while handling the short side of a platoon at third base with Josh Rojas.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Absent from lineup
Vargas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Vargas has been a mainstay in the White Sox's order, as this marks his first day off since April 22. He's split work between first and third base, though the addition of Tim Elko has the potential to disrupt Vargas' position in the lineup. Per Jack Ankony of SI.com, the White Sox plan to mix and match Elko, Vargas and Andrew Vaughn between designated hitter and first base.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Slipping down order
Vargas went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored Sunday against the Red Sox.
Vargas served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in 10 of the team's first 17 games, but he struggled mightily and had just a .429 OPS entering Sunday's game. He's remained an everyday player but has dropped to the bottom half of the order in each of his last three starts.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Records multiple hits
Vargas went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday against Cleveland.
Vargas has been in the lineup for every game this season, though he has been demoted after beginning as the team's primary leadoff hitter. That change in role has been earned, as he has only a .179 average paired with a 26.7 percent strikeout rate. Vargas did manage his second multi-hit game of the season Wednesday, and he also has only two extra-base hits.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Strong start from leadoff spot
Vargas went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Angels.
Vargas was slotted into the leadoff spot and had a successful audition to keep the role. He tallied a two-run double in the second inning and then singled before coming around to score six frames later. Vargas has yet to find much traction at the big-league level, though the White Sox should afford him plenty of playing time to prove himself at in 2025.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Viewed as primary third baseman
White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday that he views Vargas as the team's primary option at third base, James Fegan of Sox Machine reports.
Vargas is working out a bit at first base this spring, too, and he has plenty of past experience at second base and in left field. However, it sounds like he will focus on the hot corner in 2025. Vargas has managed just a .175/.273/.312 batting line at the major-league level and slashed just .104/.217/.170 in 42 games with the White Sox last season after being acquired via trade. However, he turned just 25 this offseason and is a former top prospect, so expect the White Sox to give him plenty of leash to see if he can hit his stride.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Adds muscle
Vargas added 20 pounds of muscle during the offseason, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Vargas had considerable prospect pedigree while rising through the Dodgers' system, though he's hit just .204 with 13 home runs across 591 big-league plate appearances. His struggles in 2024 were at least partially blamed on the fact that he lost 12-to-14 pounds during the season, causing him to prioritize adding muscle this offseason. Vargas made his spring debut Saturday against the Cubs and went 0-for-2 with a walk.
