It is hard to believe, but we are already in the second week of May. I hope all of your teams have been doing better than the Cincinnati Reds. Soon, we will all know how our fantasy teams are doing and if they have a chance to win it all. Injuries, like every year, continue to be an issue for many Major League Baseball teams as well as your fantasy team. I will continue to highlight players on the IL with their hopeful return timeframe and the next man up.A little about myself for new readers: ...

The Chicago White Sox officially placed outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a bruised right hand and recalled infielder Danny Mendick from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The injured list stint is retroactive to May 2. It's yet another injury blow to the White Sox. The 24-year-old hasn't played since he was hit on the hand by a pitch last Friday, but he could wind up missing just one more week. AJ Pollock will benefit the most in Chicago ...

Chicago White Sox outfielder/first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) will "most probably" be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox. He's been sidelined since last Friday after being hit in the hand by a pitch. It's unclear exactly how much time Vaughn will miss. X-rays came back negative on Vaughn's hand, and he remains day-to-day. The 24-year-old is slashing .283/.367/.566 with four home runs, 12 RBI, and five runs scored over 16 games in 2022. ...

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) is not in the starting lineup once again for Tuesday's game against Scott Effross and the Chicago Cubs. This will be the fourth consecutive missed game for Vaughn, who was hit by a pitch in his right hand on Friday. AJ Pollock will get his fourth consecutive start in left field on Tuesday while Gavin Sheets and Adam Engel remain in the lineup as well. X-rays on Vaughn's hand came back negative and he remains day-to-day. We'll see if he's ...

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. Vaughn was hit by a pitch in his right hand on Friday and hasn't played since, but X-rays came back negative, so he remains day-to-day. The 24-year-old slugger has been able to swing a bat since the injury, so there's a good chance he will be back for the team's next game, and he could even be available to pinch hit on Monday. With Vaughn out again, AJ Pollock is back ...

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that outfielder Andrew Vaughn's hand is still a little sore, but he's been swinging a bat and could pinch hit in the series finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. The White Sox are hoping Vaughn can return to the lineup on Monday. The 24-year-old was hit by a pitch on his right hand on Friday, and although X-rays came back negative, he will miss the final two games of the series. AJ Pollock is in left field again on Sunday and is hitting ...

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He was removed from Friday's game after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so hopefully Vaughn can avoid a trip to the injured list. As of right now, fantasy managers should assume Vaughn is day-to-day until further notice. He is off to a hot start at the plate, so fantasy managers should be patient ...

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth on Opening Day on Friday against Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Vaughn dealt with a hip pointer injury in camp but will be good to go for the first regular season game on Friday. The 24-year-old returned to spring action on Monday and could see some starts at third base early in the season with Yoan Moncada out three weeks with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Vaughn won't have a ton of...

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hip) resumed swinging a bat on Wednesday. Vaughn is dealing with a hip-pointer injury that is expected to keep him out for one to two weeks, and while it's good news that he's swinging a bat, it remains to be seen if he'll be ready by Opening Day next week. But the 23-year-old should be ready to go before long, even if he isn't in the starting lineup for the first regular season game. Vaughn had his ups and downs in his rookie season in 2021 and hit ...

After making the team out of Spring Training, Chicago White Sox's first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn had an up-and-down rookie season. His stats were below fantasy expectations, slashing .235/.309/.396 with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 56 runs scored, and one stolen base over 469 plate appearances in 2021. The 2019 first-round pick struggled against right-handers, evidenced by his .221/.277/.332 slash line versus them, having manager Tony LaRussa benching Vaughn and favoring a platoon last season....
