White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Monday that Vaughn (back) has resumed hitting but is still experiencing some discomfort while running, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn is first eligible to return from the injured list during this weekend's series in Cleveland, but La Russa's comments suggest the rookie isn't a lock to be ready to go by then. The fact that Vaughn is able to do at least some activity while he contends with lower-back inflammation suggests that he won't be in store for a lengthy stay on the IL, however.

Vaughn was placed on the 10-day injured list with lower back inflammation Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn hasn't played since Thursday while dealing with what was previously reported to be leg soreness. He's evidently also been dealing with a back issue. The transaction was backdated to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return Monday, which James Fegan of The Athletic reports the White Sox believe is possible.

Vaughn (leg) is not starting Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie should still be considered day-to-day as he works through leg soreness. Manager Tony La Russa figures to be especially cautious with Vaughn as he's been with other key players on the division-leading White Sox, so a trip to the injured list is not out of the question. Jose Abreu is DH'ing Sunday with Yasmani Grandal filling in at first base.

Vaughn is dealing with leg soreness and is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eloy Jimenez will start at designated hitter while Romy Gonzalez starts in left field. This is the second straight game Vaughn will miss due to the soreness.

Vaughn is not starting Friday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn failed to record a hit or walk in 13 at-bats during the series in Oakland, so it's not surprising to see him take a seat for Friday's series opener. Eloy Jimenez (knee) returns to the lineup as the DH as Gavin Sheets draws the start in left field.

Vaughn started in left field in place of an injured Eloy Jimenez (knee) and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Jimenez took a hard-hit foul ball off his knee while in the dugout during Tuesday's game and was eventually removed. In addition to Wednesday's start in left field, Vaughn moved there from right field after Jimenez left Tuesday night's game. Jimenez did not work out at all Wednesday, which suggests another day in left field for Vaughn on Thursday.

Vaughn is not starting Sunday's game against the Royals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn has struggled with a .108 average and no extra-base hits in his last 10 games. Jose Abreu is the designated hitter Sunday, with Gavin Sheets getting a start at first base.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn drew starts in each of the last six games but went just 2-for-21 with three runs and an RBI during that time. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Monday and is now hitting .242 with two home runs and six RBI in his last 10 games. Most impressively, he's struck out just three times in 33 at-bats during that span. Jake Lamb is the designated hitter Tuesday.

Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer with two walks Thursday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn took Cole Irvin yard in the fifth inning to record his 15th home run of the season. Across 14 games in August, Vaughn now has four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs scored. He's also struck out at just a 15.4 percent clip in that span. For the season, Vaughn has improved his line to .263/.335/.462 with 42 RBI and 51 runs scored across 382 plate appearances.
