After a collision with Aaron Judge on Thursday night led to a scary wrist injury, the Chicago White Sox placed infielder Miguel Vargas on the 10-day Injured List with what was diagnosed as a "left hand sprain."

It's still unclear how long Vargas will be out for, but the injury is certainly a tough break the 25-year-old who had posted an .841 OPS since the All-Star break.

The White Sox are going to miss Miguel Vargas, but with one player's misfortune comes another player's opportunity.

First baseman Tim Elko was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday afternoon to take Vargas' place on the active roster.
