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 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.

Vaughn (hip) will bat ninth as the White Sox's designated hitter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn will check back into the spring lineup for the first time in a week, after he was forced to exit early in the White Sox's March 27 game against the Dodgers due to a right hip pointer. Though the injury no longer looks like it affects Vaughn at the plate, it's unclear if he'll receive full clearance to play the outfield (or first base) ahead of the White Sox's season opener Friday in Detroit. Regardless, the fact that Vaughn is available as a DH will likely be enough for him to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the campaign.

Vaughn (hip) was able to take a limited number of swings in the batting cage Wednesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn's availability for Opening Day is still up in the air after the White Sox announced Monday that the 23-year-old is tending to a right hip pointer that will keep him from playing for 1-to-2 weeks. Though his status may not become clearer until next week, Vaughn's ability to do at least some baseball activity Wednesday is a positive sign. For what it's worth, Vaughn also noted that he feels "tenfold better" Wednesday compared to earlier in the week.

The White Sox announced Monday that Vaughn is dealing with a right hip pointer and is expected to return to game action in one or two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn had to be carted off the field after making a diving catch in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, but he seems to have escaped with nothing worse than a bruise. A trip to the injured list is still possible, as Opening Day falls right in the middle of his given timeline. Even if he progresses quickly and hits the early end of that range, it's possible the White Sox choose to give him some rehab games to finish his spring preparation. Regardless, Vaughn shouldn't need much time before joining the big-league lineup, assuming he experiences no further setbacks in his recovery from the injury.

Vaughn is dealing with right hip discomfort following Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

Vaughn was taken off the field on a cart after suffering an apparent injury in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn started Sunday's matchup in right field but went down after making a diving catch in the bottom of the fourth inning. While the exact nature and severity of Vaughn's injury aren't yet known, it's discouraging that he was unable to walk off the field under his own power. If the 23-year-old is unavailable to begin the regular season, Gavin Sheets and Adam Engel are candidates to see additional playing time.
