ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas was scratched from Saturday night's game at the Los Angeles Angels because of a left oblique strain.
Vargas was replaced at first base by Lenyn Sosa. The White Sox said Vargas was being further evaluated.
The 25-year-old Vargas was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of a three-team trade in July 2024. He is batting .229 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs in 106 games.
Prior to the matchup with the Angels, the White Sox placed right-hander Dan Altavilla on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Right-hander Owen White was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.
The team also announced that first baseman Ryan Noda was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles.
The 32-year-old Altavilla is 0-1 with a 2.36 ERA and two saves in 25 games with Chicago this year.
