Vaught went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn singled in his first trip to the plate before stealing his first base of the season. He added a double in his next at-bat, then came around to score on a Paul DeJong single to put Chicago up 2-0, marking the first baseman's first multi-hit performance since April 9 against the Guardians. Vaughn is batting just .170 (15-for-88) following the two-hit effort, though he has hit safely in three of his last four games.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Despite his three punchouts in Sunday's game, Vaughn has struck out at only a 20 percent clip this season. He's still hitting only .194 across 35 plate appearances, a mark that should improve over time. More concerning is Vaughn's lack of power, as he has zero extra-base hits and has yet to barrel a ball across 24 batted-ball events.

Vaughn focused on adding strength and improving his agility this offseason, Scott Merkinof MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vaughn detailed that he worked with bands and focused on improving his footwork while eating better. He played a full season at first base for the first time in 2023, which also helped him post a career-best 615 plate appearances and his offseason work could further improve his durability. Vaughn has yet to take a significant step forward from a skills perspective and has maintained a near identical line across the last two campaigns.

The White Sox and Vaughn avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.25 million contract, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was Vaughn's first year of arbitration eligibility. The 25-year-old has yet to break out for the White Sox but did set career highs with 21 home runs and 81 RBI in 2023. He'll be looking to take another step forward in 2024.
