Out of Tuesday's lineup Vaughn is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers.

Impact He has a mini five-game hitting streak going but has still failed to wrangle a true everyday role just yet. Jake Lamb will start in left field and bat seventh.

Sitting out Sunday Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact He'll be taking a seat after starting each of the last three games in left field while recording four hits -- all singles -- across 10 at-bats. Leury Garcia will fill in for Vaughn, who has yet to hit his first MLB home run but is reaching base at a .356 clip this season.

Subbed out for defense Vaughn started in left field and went 1-for-2 in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Vaughn was replaced defensively in the seventh inning by Billy Hamilton, which could be the practice when the White Sox are involved in a close game. The move paid immediate dividends in the seventh when Hamilton's 95 mph throw cut down Willie Calhoun at the plate to preserve a 1-0 lead. Being subbed out cost Vaughn two plate appearances.

Takes seat for Patriots Day game Vaughn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Vaughn will once again be on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Nathan Eovaldi), opening up left field for Leury Garcia. The rookie had picked up starts in four of the White Sox's previous five games, so his playing time at least appears to be trending upward after he had been deployed in more of a part-time role in the first two weeks of the season.

Not starting Game 1 Vaughn is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Boston.

Impact Vaughn is 4-for-25 with 10 strikeouts to open the season and will take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Jake Lamb will receive the start in left field for the White Sox in Game 1.

Manager promises usage uptick Vaughn will start Wednesday and Thursday against Cleveland and should play quite a bit on the upcoming road trips to Boston and Cleveland, per manager Tony La Russa, Scott Merkin o...

Impact He is riding the pine against righty Shane Bieber on Tuesday, and Logan Allen and Martin Perez are the only southpaws Cleveland projects to face over the next week, so these comments suggest La Russa is going to be willing to give Vaughn some starts against righties. It would be big for Vaughn's playing time outlook if he performed over the next week and made it tougher for his skipper to keep him out of the lineup.

APRIL 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Vaughn is not in Tuesday's lineup against Cleveland.

Impact Manager Tony La Russa will go with Nick Williams in left field with a righty (Shane Bieber) on the hill, as has been his wont. Considering that Williams has a 99 career wRC+ against righties and Vaughn is one of the game's top hitting prospects, this curious usage pattern has understandably drawn the ire of those who invested in the rookie in fantasy. For now, we should expect the 76-year-old skipper to stick to his guns.

Stuck on bench yet again Vaughn will sit Monday against Cleveland.

Impact While the White Sox made the commendable decision to include Vaughn on their Opening Day roster instead of manipulating his service time, there's still been no indication that they intend to use him all that often. He's yet to start a single game as a designated hitter, thanks in large part due to Yermin Mercedes' early-season tear. He's started five times in 10 games in left field, though he's made just a single start against a righty. He remains stuck on the short side of a platoon Monday, with Nick Williams getting the nod in his absence.

APRIL 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck on bench again Vaughn will sit Thursday against the Royals.

Impact The White Sox elected to include Vaughn on the Opening Day roster rather than manipulate his service time, but that evidently didn't mean they saw him as an everyday player. Yermin Mercedes' hot start has meant Vaughn hasn't made a single start as the designated hitter, and he's started just four of eight games in left field. Nick Williams will start in his place Thursday.

Enters game in sixth inning 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.

Impact 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.

Not starting Wednesday Vaughn isn't in the starting nine for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact 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.

Notches first big-league hit Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

Impact 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 clang off his glove, which 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.

Starting Monday, Tuesday Vaughn will start Monday and Tuesday against left-handers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact 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.

APRIL 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of lineup Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact 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.

Set for MLB debut Vaughn will make his major-league debut Friday against the Angels, batting fifth and playing left field, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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.
