Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn will take a seat for the first time since July 20, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts. During that stretch, Vaughn slashed .361/.410/.556 while picking up work in both left and right field in addition to making his first career start at second base. The White Sox will continue to find ways to keep Vaughn's bat in the lineup while he's rolling, though his lack of extensive experience at the infield at anywhere besides first base means he probably won't play the keystone or third base with much regularity.

Vaughn will bat fifth and play second base Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's certainly a fun curiosity that a player who was thought to be a defensively-limited first baseman has spent most of his rookie season in the outfield and will now start a game as a middle infielder. That said, this could well be the only game Vaughn starts at second base in his career, and he's very unlikely to pick up positional eligibility there in most fantasy formats, as the White Sox acquired Cesar Hernandez in a trade with Cleveland on Thursday. Hernandez should spend the rest of the year as the primary second baseman once he links up with his new team.

Vaughn started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn, who had played mostly in left field this season, moved across the outfield to accommodate the return of Eloy Jimenez. This was his first start and second appearance as a right fielder. White Sox manager Tony La Russa said he didn't expect Jimenez's return to cost Vaughn at-bats, and he meant it. It's unclear if Vaughn will be the primary right fielder going forward, or if that could change when Luis Robert (hip) returns. Although Robert is a center fielder, La Russa could opt for a better fielder in right, like Adam Engel or Brian Goodwin. In that event, Vaughn could get regular at-bats as the designated hitter.

Vaughn will get playing time in right field now that Eloy Jimenez is healthy and active, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Tony La Russa expressed confidence in Vaughn's ability to play right field. The White Sox have enjoyed flexibility at the designated hitter spot since demoting Yermin Mercedes, and putting Jimenez in left field will allow that to continue.

Vaughn started in left field and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's game marked the return of Eloy Jimenez (who served as the designated hitter) from a pectoral injury that had forced him to the sideline since the end of spring training. Jimenez is normally the White Sox's starter in left field, which is where Vaughn has been a regular presence this season. The two are expected to share both jobs, as manager Tony La Russa said he doesn't expect Jimenez's return to cost Vaughn too many at-bats. The rookie has hit safely in six straight contests, going 10-for-21 with a home run, four doubles and five RBI.

Vaughn started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn has been playing regularly in left field, but that's about to change with Monday's pending return of Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) from the 60-day injured list. Vaughn, whose bat was quiet early in the season, is swinging the bat much better recently, slashing .351/.373/.636 over the last 22 games. White Sox manager Tony La Russa told Andrew Wagner of MLB.com that he doesn't believe Jimenez's return would "take at-bats away from" Vaughn, which likely means he'll be the primary designated hitter.

Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 7-1 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old prevented the White Sox from being shut out when he launched an eighth-inning solo shot to center field off Milwaukee reliever Hunter Strickland. Vaughn has gone 6-for-9 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored across his last three games. He's slashing .255/.318/.453 with 11 long balls, 29 RBI, 41 runs scored and 20 doubles through 299 plate appearances.

Vaughn entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and singled in his lone plate appearance during a 9-5 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins grabbed the lead in the top half of the eighth inning, but it was short-lived as Vaughn, pinch-hitting for Seby Zavala, plated Adam Engel with the tying run before the White Sox tacked on four more scores in the frame. It was just Vaughn's second hit in 18 at-bats since returning from the All-Star break.

Vaughn is not starting Tuesday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie has gone 1-for-17 since the All-Star break after hitting .351 with three home runs in 10 games to start the month. Vaughn gets the day off while Brian Goodwin fills in at right field.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Sunday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn went deep in the fourth inning with a solo shot and then added a three-run blast off Cole Sulser in the sixth, giving him 10 long balls on the season. The first baseman snapped a drought of seven games without a homer and has now quietly assembled a three-game hitting streak, with two multi-hit games in the process.
