Vargas was hit on the foot by a pitch from the Chicago White Sox's Mike Vasil during the second inning of the visiting Diamondbacks' 4-1 victory on Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, Arizona recalled infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno.
The Diamondbacks' recent injuries also include third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who was hit on the right hand by a pitch during a game on Monday against the White Sox and sustained a contusion. X-rays were negative on Suarez, who sat out games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The ballclub plans to have him undergo an MRI once the swelling in the hand goes down.
Arizona first baseman Josh Naylor was also injured Monday with a right shoulder strain and missed Tuesday's game before playing on Wednesday. All- Star outfielder Corbin Carroll was hit on his left wrist on June 18 and went on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday (retroactive to Saturday) with a chip fracture.
Vargas, who initially replaced Suarez in the lineup, is batting .286 (8-for-28) with one home run and four RBIs in 10 games.
The 33-year-old is a career .247 hitter with 18 homers and 130 RBIs in 430 games for five organizations. He started his major league career with the Diamondbacks from 2017-20 before returning during the 2021 season and this year.
Alexander, 26, appeared in 61 games with Arizona in 2024 and batted .247 with three homers and 21 RBIs. He was batting .284 with eight homers and 41 RBIs in 54 games for Reno this season.

Marlins hit 3 homers, edge D-backs for 5th straight win
Otto Lopez went 3-for-5 with a homer, Kyle Stowers homered for the second straight game and the Miami Marlins extended their season-best winning streak to five games with a 9-8 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Friday. HT Image Heriberto Hernandez homered, Stowers and Connor Norby had two hits apiece, and Lopez and Norby each scored twice. The Marlins had 13 hits, the fifth straight game with 10 more. Lopez is 15-for-32 with 10 RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak. Jake McCarthy, Geraldo Perdomo and Alek Thomas homered for the Diamondbacks, who scored three runs in the ninth inning and had runners on first and third with one out before Tyler Phillips got Tim Tawa to ground into game-ending double play. The Marlins broke a six-game series losing streak to Arizona dating to 2024 and have won 10 of 14 overall. The D-backs had won 10 of 15. Randal Grichuk singled off Phillips to open the bottom of the ninth, and Thomas reached on shortstop Lopez's fielding error before Jose Herrera single to load the bases. Phillips walked Perdomo to force in a run, making it 9-6. Ketel Marte struck out before Pavin Smith hit a two-run single to trim the deficit to one, bringing up Tawa. The D-backs overcame four-run deficits in the ninth inning twice this season, in a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on April 12 and an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres on June 14. Ronny Henriquez , the second of Miami's six pitchers, gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings. Marlins starter Eury Perez gave up three runs on two hits before leaving with one out in the fifth inning after reaching a season-high 93 pitches his fourth start of the season. He walked three and struck out three. Merrill Kelly permitted five runs, three earned, and five hits, with seven strikeouts and one walk in five-plus innings. He left after Stowers' homer leading off the sixth gave the Marlins a 5-4 lead. Arizona first baseman Josh Naylor was removed from the game in the seventh inning after apparently aggravating a right shoulder injury.

Caitlin Clark sidelined by sudden injury as everything changes for the Indiana Fever
(Image Source - Getty Images) The Indiana Fever experienced a major setback on June 26 when their star Caitlin Clark was ruled out of the game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to an unexpected left groin injury. Just two nights earlier, Clark had made headlines with a jaw-dropping fall in Seattle, and her absence has quickly shifted the team's dynamics. Now, with the Fever's offense in a precarious position and uncertainty hanging over them, everyone is questioning — how serious is this injury? Stephanie White reveals cautious day to day approach as Caitlin Clark undergoes MRI During the Fever's 94–86 win over the Seattle Storm on June 24, Caitlin Clark collapsed in the closing seconds while trying to secure her position—this incident sparked immediate concern. The team updated her status on Thursday morning, confirming she would be sidelined for the Indiana vs. Sparks game due to a left groin injury. This is a tough hit for the Fever, who were sitting at a 7–7 record and depending on Clark's all-around game to help them rise in the standings. Head Coach Stephanie White confirmed that Clark had an MRI on Wednesday night, describing her condition as "very much a day-to-day thing." This cautious method reflects how the Fever dealt with her earlier left quadriceps strain in May, which sidelined her for five games before she had a breakout game with 32 points against the New York Liberty on June 14. But unlike that injury, the extent of the groin strain is still uncertain—raising concerns about how long she could be out this time. The Fever's record stands at just 2–4 during Clark's six-game absence this season, and the 85–75 loss to Los Angeles on Thursday made it obvious why: the Sparks outscored them 35–17 in the fourth quarter. Star forward Azurá Stevens put up 23 points, with Kelsey Plum adding 21. Indiana found it hard to keep their offensive flow, which shows how much Clark's presence impacts everything from assists to spacing. To address this, the Fever recently signed Aari McDonald on a hardship contract and parted ways with veteran DeWanna Bonner, hoping to enhance their backcourt. This groin problem comes at a time when the Fever is already struggling. Clark, averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and 5.6 rebounds over nine starts this season, has been off her game from long range, sinking just 1 of 23 three-pointers in her last three games. As a former Iowa standout and the reigning Rookie of the Year, she's dealt with leg issues before, but her erratic play only increases the stakes. Caitlin Clark's groin injury could be seen as a minor issue at first glance, but the timing and circumstances really raise some red flags. Since the MRI results haven't been revealed yet, the Fever are in a tough spot, dealing with a "day-to-day" situation — and they have to make adjustments on the fly without a player who has previously revolutionized their offense. Also Read: Stephen Curry celebrates Morgan Riley's Underrated Golf Tour victory after clutch final round at Eisenhower course No matter if she comes back for Friday's game in Dallas or if this issue lasts longer, Indiana has to face the fact that Clark not being there shakes up their young team—and maybe even their hopes for the playoffs. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
