Impacted by Jimenez return Vaughn started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee.

Impact 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 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.

Delivers big pinch hit Vaughn entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and singled in his lone plate appearance during a 9-5 win over the Twins.

Impact 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.

Socks two homers Sunday Vaughn went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Impact 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.

Impact Vaughn had started in each of the last nine games, and he recorded hits in seven of those appearances. The 23-year-old hit .355 with two home runs, two doubles, seven runs and five RBI during that time, but he'll get a breather while Billy Hamilton starts in left field and bats eighth.

Slugs eighth homer Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over Detroit.

Impact The 23-year-old's first hit of the game came in the seventh inning when he doubled and scored on a Danny Mendick sacrifice fly. Vaughn added a solo shot as part of Chicago's five-run ninth inning. He's gone 8-for-13 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored across his last four games. The sudden surge has lifted his slash line to .246/.317/.436 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 34 runs scored and a stolen bases through 240 plate appearances. He's seen everyday action in left field since Jake Lamb (quadriceps) was placed on the injured list.

Moves to 3B mid-game Vaughn moved from left field to third base after Yoan Moncada (hand) was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the fourth inning.

Impact Vaughn handled the assignment cleanly for four innings before he was replaced by Leury Garcia (undisclosed) in the eighth. Garcia had been scratched from the original starting lineup due to an undisclosed injury; that appears to be the reason why he wasn't brought in initially to replace Moncada. Instead, Vaughn, a first baseman that's been converted to left field, played third base for the first time in the majors. The move, however, appears to be a temporary one. That Garcia was well enough to enter the game suggests the undisclosed injury is not serious, and the White Sox are considering calling up Jake Burger, a natural third baseman.

Snaps RBI drought Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run and RBI in Wednesday's 13-3 win over the Twins.

Impact Vaughn's home run -- one of six on the day for the White Sox -- put Chicago up 3-1 in the second inning. He would add a sacrifice fly to his ledger in the fifth inning, allowing him to establish a new single-game career high in RBI. The rookie had driven in only two runs over his previous 18 games combined.

Impact Abreu was hit by a pitch and forced to leave the game in the sixth inning. Vaughn was in the starting lineup for the second game of the doubleheader but in left field, while Yasmani Grandal slotted in at first base to replace Abreu.

Cranks sixth home run Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact Vaughn proved that his face contusion wasn't an issue after reaching base three times Saturday, including a solo home run off Framber Valdez in the seventh inning. The rookie hasn't been a very consistent hitter this season batting .236, but his role has increased due to multiple injuries to teammates. He will likely get better with experience as he has shown the ability to get on base multiple times in three of his last five games.
