White Sox's Emilio Vargas: Receives invite to big-league camp

Vargas has signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox that includes an invite to major-league spring training.

Vargas was on track to serve as a non-roster invitee with the White Sox in 2021, but visa issues prevented him from doing so. The right-hander posted a 2.90 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 21 appearances (15 starts) at Double-A Birmingham last year and will have an opportunity to make an impression during spring training in 2022.
