Vaughn isn't starting Saturday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn appears to have lost his starting role for the White Sox, as he'll be out of the lineup for a fourth straight game. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Vaughn will sit for the third straight game Friday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn may be falling out of favor as the White Sox head into the postseason. He started five straight games after returning from a back injury last week, but he recorded just two hits over that stretch. He now finds himself on the bench for the third straight game, with Leury Garcia starting in right field.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn has gone just 1-for-14 with two runs, two walks and five strikeouts across his last five appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Vaughn isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn had started each of the last five games, and he went 2-for-16 with two runs, two RBI and two walks. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Vaughn was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, starting at third base and batting sixth in game 2 of the doubleheader versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old last played Sept. 9 before suffering a back injury. Prior to being placed on the IL, Vaughn went 17 games without registering a multi-hit effort. Over that stretch he batted .115 with only one home run in 61 at-bats.

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.
