Vaughn entered Wednesday's game in the sixth inning after left fielder Billy Hamilton was removed due to a hamstring injury. He went 1-for-2 in an 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox have been hit with a spate of injuries that have thinned the corps in left field, opening up at-bats for Vaughn as an outfielder and potentially giving him position eligibility there. Adam Engel (hamstring) was already on the injured list, and he's now been joined by shortstop Tim Anderson (hamstring), which means the multi-positional Leury Garcia will be needed in the infield. And now Hamilton is sidelined, although the severity of the injury is not known.

Vaughn isn't in the starting nine for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn recorded his first extra-base hit in the majors Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with one RBI, two walks and two strikeouts while starting the past two games. Billy Hamilton will start in left field while Zack Collins serves as the designated hitter Wednesday.

Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
It was a night to remember for Vaughn, as he finally was able to connect on a fastball for a double in the right-centerfield gap for his first career major-league hit. The 22-year-old prospect made hard contact all night and showed discipline at the plate while drawing two walks. He also had a ball clank off his glove that was ruled a double, contributing to a three-run third inning for Seattle. It's possible he takes a seat Wednesday against right-hander Justin Dunn after starting in back-to-back games, but he definitely shook off some jitters after starting the season 0-for-9.

Vaughn will start Monday and Tuesday against left-handers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn, who was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Angels, has started two of the first four games. One game facing a left-hander and one a right-hander. He may eventually settle into a primary role at DH, but the White Sox have rolled with the uber-hot Yermin Mercedes as designated hitter the last three games.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be sitting for the second time in the four-game series while the White Sox hand a start to Billy Hamilton in left field and the hot-hitting Yermin Mercedes at designated hitter. Vaughn is still looking for his first hit after going 0-for-6 with a walk and three strikeouts over his first two big-league games.

Vaughn will make his major-league debut Friday against the Angels, batting fifth and playing left field, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn didn't do anything but sit back and watch on Opening Day, as the White Sox started Leury Garcia in left field and Zack Collins as the designated hitter. It's possible that he's stuck on the short side of a platoon in left to begin the year, as he'll start against the left-handed Andrew Heaney after the switch-hitting Garcia started against the right-handed Bundy, though it will take a few more games to determine whether or not that's the case.

Vaughn won't start Opening Day against the Angels on Thursday with Leury Garcia working in left field and Zack Collins batting eighth as the designated hitter, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox recently announced the 22-year-old made the team's Opening Day roster, so it's a bit of a surprise the organization's top prospect won't be in the lineup Opening Day. Vaughn is expected to be in the starting nine as the designated hitter Friday with southpaw Andrew Heaney pitching for the Angels. Vaughn saw more work in left field during spring training and could see time there this season with Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) set to miss most of 2021.

Vaughn has made the White Sox's Opening Day roster as expected, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible the White Sox considered playing service-time games with Vaughn at some point, but they'll need all the offense they can get from the start of the season if they're to achieve their goals this year with Eloy Jimenez expected to miss most of the season with a pectoral injury. Vaughn may even fill in for Jimenez in left field despite the fact that he's spent the entirety of his professional career at first base.

Vaughn started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's spring game against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn made his second start in left field and handled his chances without issue. White Sox manager Tony La Russa is getting a look at Vaughn as a replacement for Eloy Jimenez, who will miss at least five months with a pectoral injury. The club may not need Vaughn as a permanent fill-in, because Adam Engel (hamstring) is due back within the first two weeks of the regular season. If Engel takes over in left, then Vaughn will slide back to designated hitter.

Vaughn could open the regular season as the starting left fielder after he made his debut there Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn had a largely uneventful day in left field, his first experience patrolling the outfield in game conditions. He caught the lone flyball in his vicinity and fielded a double that rolled into the corner. Manager Tony La Russa will evaluate him as a left fielder over the next few days and make a decision based on what he sees. Vaughn, a first-base prospect who was expected to serve as the primary designated hitter in 2021, took flyballs in the outfield during spring training this year and worked there last summer at the team's alternate training site in Schaumburg.
