EDGE Analysis

Vaughn was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday, but general manager Rick Hahn noted that he thought it could be a short stay on the IL for the rookie slugger. Nothing is official at this point, but based on La Russa's comments, Vaughn has a solid chance of being activated by the end of the weekend series against the Tigers.

Vaughn was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday. "Andrew is currently asymptomatic and our hope is that, similar to our other IL placements of this nature, he will return shortly to the active roster," general manager Rick Hahn said in a statement.

Hahn said that no other players are affected at this time. Vaughn missed Monday's doubleheader due to allergies, but he he returned to action Tuesday and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Gavin Sheets was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move while Jake Lamb draws the start in left field.

Vaughn (illness) will start in left field and bat seventh Tuesday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn and Tim Anderson both ended up missing the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland due to allergies, but the duo feels well enough to rejoin the lineup a day later. The rookie closed out May with a .221/.303/.430 slash line, four home runs, 12 runs and 11 RBI in 26 games.

Vaughn missed both games of Monday's doubleheader due to allergies, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to manger Tony La Russa, Vaughn was dealing with a headache among other symptoms. The 23-year-old played nearly every day in May, so the allergies don't figure to keep him out of action for very long. That being said, there's yet to be any confirmation that Vaughn will return to the lineup Tuesday against Cleveland.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn didn't appear in the first game of the twin bill -- an 8-6 White Sox win -- either, but the team has yet to suggest his absence from the lineup for the nightcap is related to an injury. Jake Lamb will pick up another start in left field in Game 2 in place of Vaughn, who is slashing .226/.318/.391 on the season.

Vaughn is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Jake Lamb will get the start in left field for the first half of the twin bill.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Vaughn is developing a flair for the dramatic. On Sunday, he briefly tied the game against the Yankees with a ninth-inning blast off Aroldis Chapman, then during Monday's game, he went yard against St. Louis starter Kwang Hyun Kim in the bottom of the sixth for what turned out to be the game-winning hit. The rookie had one RBI during the month of April, but he's driven in 11 thus far in May.

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

Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals.
