White Sox Vargas Injured After First Career Grand Slam Vs Yankees

Chicago White Sox first baseman Miguel Vargas suffered a bruised left wrist and left Thursday night's game against the New York Yankees in the fifth inning after a collision during a play at first base. Earlier in the game, Vargas hit the first grand slam of his career, a pivotal four-run home run that tied the score 4-4 in the second inning. The injury occurred when Vargas tried to stretch to receive a throw from Curtis Mead on a ground ball by Aaron Judge, and Judge's left leg struck Vargas' glove hand, causing him to fall in pain. Following the injury, Vargas was replaced by Michael A. Taylor in the lineup, with Mead moving to first base. The White Sox announced that Vargas had suffered a contusion on his left wrist and was scheduled for further tests. Despite the injury, Vargas has emerged as one of the team's most consistent hitters and an exciting young talent for the White Sox.
