Vaughn is starting in left field and batting second Friday against the Angels, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Luis Robert is back in the lineup Friday, manager Tony La Russa said Vaughn has earned the right to stay in the No. 2 spot for now after he hit .286 with two homers, two doubles, six RBI and two runs over the last six games. As long as Vaughn remains effective, he's the favorite to stick in the second spot in the lineup.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn did the majority of his damage on a three-run homer in the seventh inning, his fourth long ball of the season. Four frames earlier he had recorded an RBI double. Vaughn entered the game with at least one hit in three of his last four games, though this was his first multi-knock effort since April 13. Through 52 plate appearances, Vaughn is hitting .298/.365/.617, and he should be locked into near everyday playing time in the absence of Eloy Jimenez (hamstring).

Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn accounted for Chicago's only run of the game when he led off the fifth inning with his third homer of the season. He had swung a cold bat immediately prior to this performance, collecting just three hits with no counting stats across his last five starts and 16 at-bats. Despite the slow stretch, Vaughn is hitting .313/.389/.625 while maintaining an 11.1 percent strikeout rate across 36 total plate appearances.

Vaughn is not in Thursday's lineup against the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will head to the bench against righty Zach Plesac. Vaughn's last five starts have come against right-handed pitching, which is encouraging for the young right-handed slugger. On the flip side, he is 3-for-16 with zero home runs and zero walks over that five-game stretch. Eloy Jimenez will start at DH as he works his way back from ankle soreness and Gavin Sheets and Adam Haseley will start in the outfield corners.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn is 8-for-23 with two homers, a double, six RBI and three runs through seven games this season, but he won't be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Tampa Bay. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter while Adam Engel starts in right field.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn will sit for the second time in four games to begin the season, but manager Tony LaRussa may have a tougher time keeping him out of the lineup moving forward after the White Sox placed AJ Pollock (hamstring) on the injured list. Pollock's removal from the active roster removes one potential roadblock to playing time, though Vaughn will still head to the bench Tuesday with top catcher Yasmani Grandal getting a day off behind the dish and serving as the White Sox's designated hitter instead. Vaughn has gotten off to a hot start through Chicago's first three games, going 4-for-10 with two home runs and six RBI.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn homered in Friday's Opening Day loss, but he'll get a breather Saturday. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn gave the White Sox the lead with his solo homer in the top of the ninth inning Friday, but the team was unable to retain the lead to close out the game. The 24-year-old figures to see plenty of playing time as the White Sox's designated hitter in 2022 after he slashed .235/.309/.396 with 15 homers, 56 runs and 48 RBI in 127 appearances last year.

Vaughn (hip) is starting in right field in Monday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was a late addition to Monday's lineup after AJ Pollock was scratched with a head cold, but it's encouraging that Vaughn has been given clearance to play the outfield late in spring training. Although Vaughn was limited by a right hip pointer late in camp, it appears as though he's now healthy ahead of Opening Day.
