Vaughn (hand) has received a cortisone injection in the area of his right wrist, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after missing five games with a bruised right hand, and he's now received a cortisone shot to address the swelling. The 24-year-old is eligible to be activated May 12, though it remains unclear if he'll be ready to return at that point. Adam Engel should continue to see more playing time in Vaughn's absence, though he's not in the lineup Friday.

Vaughn was placed on the injured list with a bruised right hand Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn hasn't played since last Friday after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, but his injured list assignment can only be backdated by three days. He'll now miss at least one more week. AJ Pollock should continue to start in left field in his absence, with Gavin Sheets and Adam Engel splitting time in right field. Danny Mendick was activated to take his place on the roster.

Manager Tony La Russa said that Vaughn (hand), who is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs, will "most probably" be placed on the injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Red Sox, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old has been sidelined since being hit by a pitch on the right hand last Friday, and he hasn't recovered as hoped over the past few days. It's unclear exactly how long Vaughn is expected to be sidelined, though the fact he's been considered day-to-day to this point could mean he won't require a lengthy absence. Adam Engel should see more opportunities in the outfield while Vaughn is out.

Vaughn (hand) isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn was hit by a pitch on his right hand in Friday's loss to the Angels and will be out of the lineup for a fifth straight game. Whether the 24-year-old will be available off the bench remains to be seen, but AJ Pollock will shift to left field while Adam Engel starts in right.

Vaughn (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn's absence from the lineup has now been extended to four games, as he's apparently still experiencing some discomfort in his right hand, which was struck by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Angels. Over the weekend, manager Tony La Russa suggested that Vaughn might be ready to check back into the starting nine by Monday, but it's unclear if the White Sox's stance on the 24-year-old has changed since then. Consider him day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale with the Cubs.

Vaughn (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn is apparently still dealing with some bruising and/or soreness in his right hand after being struck by a pitch in Friday's 5-1 loss to Los Angeles, so he'll remain on the bench for a third straight game in Monday's series finale. White Sox manager Tony La Russa noted Sunday that Vaughn has been able to swing the bat since suffering the injury, so the 24-year-old could be available Monday in a pinch-hitting capacity.

Vaughn (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn will take a seat for the second straight game due to the right hand injury he suffered in Friday's 5-1 loss in the series opener, though he's not dealing with any structural damage after X-rays returned negative. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, manager Tony La Russa said Vaughn's hand is still sore, but the 24-year-old has been able to swing the bat and may be allowed to pinch hit Sunday. Even if Vaughn goes unused off the bench Sunday, he could still rejoin the lineup for Monday's series finale.

Vaughn (hand) underwent X-rays that came back negative Saturday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn was hit on his right hand by a pitch in the ninth inning of Friday's game against the Angels, but he's considered day-to-day after his tests didn't reveal any structural damage. If he's forced to miss any time, Gavin Sheets and Adam Engel are the most likely candidates for increased at-bats.

Vaughn, who was hit on his right hand by a pitch in the ninth inning, will get X-rays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn, who went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in addition to the HBP, remained in the game, but it is apparently causing enough discomfort that tests are needed. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
