White Sox INF Miguel Vargas sidelined by a left oblique strain
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) 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 is being further evaluated.
Vargas, 25, was acquired from the 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 Baltimore.
The 32-year-old Altavilla is 0-1 with a 2.36 ERA and two saves in 25 games with Chicago this year.

Alexei Popyrin vs. Alexander Zverev odds, prediction: Pick, best bet at ATP Toronto
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Something about Canada suits Alexei Popyrin. The Australian has never lost a match at the Canadian Masters, winning the title on debut in Montreal last year and going 3-0 in Toronto in 2025. Even more peculiar is the fact that Popyrin had never been to a final at any event above a 250-level in his career, making his breakthrough win as an unseeded player in 2024 all the more stunning. Popyrin won't have snuck up on anybody in Canada this year, but it is still a bit of a surprise to see the World No. 26 with a chance to make his second consecutive trip to the semifinals in this event. He's a decided underdog against Alexander Zverev, but Popyrin will be brimming with confidence considering his record above the 49th parallel. A deep run in Canada would be just what the doctor ordered for Zverev, who is the No. 1 seed in this field with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz not partaking, as he looks to stabilize himself after getting upset by World No. 72 Arthur Rinderknech in Round 1 at Wimbledon. Alexander Zverev in action against Francisco Cerundolo at ATP Canada. AP And even though the odds suggest that Zverev should win this match three times out of four, this is hardly a straightforward task. Not only is Popyrin undefeated in this event, but he's left some serious players in his wake. The 25-year-old has already defeated Holger Rune and Daniil Medvedev in this tournament, and he owns an impressive 13-16 record against top-10 opponents in his career. He's good value to add to that total on Monday. The Play: Alexei Popyrin +250 (bet365)
