White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Belts first homer of 2025
Vargas went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over Minnesota.
Vargas extended the White Sox's lead to three runs in the sixth inning, when he took Jorge Alcala deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Vargas' first home run of the season, and while he has a .163 average for the season, he's been marginally better of late with a .217 average in his past seven games.

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.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.
Vargas took Yu Darvish deep to left center in the sixth to put the White Sox back up 2-1, though the lead would vanish in the eighth. Vargas picked up his first multi-hit game as a member of the White Sox and just his second home run and stolen base.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Still has chances for playing time
The White Sox intend to prioritize playing time for Vargas and Bryan Ramos down the stretch of the regular season, despite the return of Yoan Moncada (adductor) from the 60-day injured list, Kyle Glaser of MLB.com reports.
While Ramos appears to have the upper hand for chances at the hot corner, skipper Grady Sizemore stated in Monday's pregame press conference that he has no set plan to introduce Moncada back into the starting nine, and he'll continue to give both Vargas and Ramos plenty of playing time during the last few weeks of the season. Vargas will likely see opportunities to play at various positions around the diamond over the next 11 games as the club sets its sights on next year.
