Diamondbacks place infielder Ildemaro Vargas (foot) on 10-day IL
June 25 - The Arizona Diamondbacks' list of injured players this season grew longer with the placement of infielder Ildemaro Vargas on the 10-day IL on Wednesday because of a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. 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. --Field Level Media

Injury-Depleted Diamondbacks Place Ildemaro Vargas on IL, Give James McCann First Start This Season
The injury-depleted Arizona Diamondbacks recalled infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno and placed infielder Ildemaro Vargas on the 10-day injured list with a right foot fracture before Wednesday's series final against the Chicago White Sox. Vargas suffered a broken fifth metatarsal when he was hit by a pitch from Mike Vasil in the second inning of Arizona's 4–1 win Tuesday night. He is batting .286 with one home run and four RBIs in 10 games. Catcher James McCann was playing in his first major league game of the season Wednesday, starting behind the plate. The 35-year-old signed with Arizona on Monday following his release from the Atlanta Braves. McCann signed a minor league deal with the Braves on April 8 and was released Sunday. Over 41 games with Triple-A Gwinnett, he hit .297 with six homers and 30 RBIs. McCann, who is in his 12th season in the majors, was selected to the 2019 All-Star Game. That season with the White Sox, he set career highs in hits (120), homers (18), and RBIs (60). He has a .241 career batting average with 92 homers and 373 RBIs in 917 games with the Tigers, White Sox, Mets, and Orioles. 'I'm glad he's here,' manager Torey Lovullo said. 'I've admired him from across the field through a couple of his organizations.' The Diamondbacks remain without center fielder Corbin Carroll. The 2023 NL Rookie of the Year went on the injured list retroactive to Saturday with a chip fracture in his left wrist, and a timeline for his return is unknown. Carroll hasn't played since a pitch hit him in the left hand last Wednesday in Toronto. Infielder Eugenio Suarez was still out of the lineup Wednesday after being hit on the hand by a pitch from Shane Smith on Monday. First baseman Josh Naylor returned after injuring his shoulder on a swing Monday and sitting out Tuesday.

Injury-depleted Diamondbacks place Ildemaro Vargas on IL, give James McCann first start this season

Arizona Diamondbacks fighting their way through a rash of injuries
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been snakebit all season. Injuries plagued the club in spring training and have continued to wreak havoc as the season reaches the midpoint, leaving manager Torey Lovullo searching for answers as he tries to cobble together a daily lineup. 'I have not seen anything like this,' Lovullo said from Chicago this week. 'Usually, you have a bad week or a bad month, or two guys in a 30-day period of time that will go down, but it's just been one after another. It's frustrating. I feel for the players. I feel for this team.' It's been painful. Left-hander Corbin Burnes, signed to a $210 million, six-year deal in January, lasted 11 starts before going down with a season-ending elbow injury. He followed fellow starter Jordan Montgomery and proceeded key reliever Justin Martinez in needing Tommy John surgery. Reliever A.J. Puk also needs elbow surgery, to repair his left ulnar collateral ligament, a procedure that could turn into Tommy John. Pitchers Tommy Henry, Blake Walston and Christian Montes de Oca also are out for the season. Catcher Gabriel Moreno has been out with a broken finger after being hit by a foul ball on June 15. Backup catcher Adrian Del Castillo has dealt with shoulder and back issues, spoiling his chance to move up from Triple-A Reno to replace Moreno. The hits kept coming this week. Arizona placed All Star outfielder Corbin Carroll on the injured list with a chip fracture in his left wrist before Tuesday's game against the White Sox, then watched infielder Ildemaro Vargas go down with a broken foot after being hit by a pitch in the second inning. Carroll has been out since being hit by a pitch on June 18. Third baseman Eugenio Suárez has been out of the lineup since being hit on the hand by a pitch on Monday. First baseman Josh Naylor also was injured on Monday, straining his right shoulder on an awkward swing, but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. 'It's part of the game, but we've taken on a lot, there's no denying that,' Lovullo said. 'A lot of teams have. I don't want anybody to feel sorry for us. But it's our turn to go out there and figure out how to get the job done, and that's where my main focus is right now.' The Diamondbacks have managed to keep their focus during the rash of injuries. With Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox, Arizona has won 10 of 14 to move back into the NL wild card picture. The Diamondbacks aren't out of the NL West race, either, entering Wednesday's game 2 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. 'We've just got to push through it,' Arizona outfielder Alek Thomas said. 'The vibe in the clubhouse, are still high. We still come every day to the field with our chin up and smiles on our faces.' Some of those smiles are more like grimaces, but the Diamondbacks have found a way to grit their way through. ___ AP MLB:
