Andrew Vaughn Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn missed all of April with a hand injury, but now that he's back and swinging the bat well, fantasy managers should take a peek at him as a waiver-wire addition for some power with the first-place Brewers. Vaughn went hitless as a pinch-hitter in Milwaukee's 2-1 victory over the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, but he went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 victory and is currently hitting .327 with a .917 OPS in 17 games so far in 2027 in his sixth year in the big leagues. Before starting on the bench in Wednesday's series finale against St. Louis, the 28-year-old right-handed slugger started at first in four straight games and went 6-for-16 with three doubles, two RBI, and two runs. Vaughn's fantasy upside is limited by the fact that he's on the short side of a platoon at first base with the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers, who is also hitting well this year. But you can't argue with Vaughn's numbers since coming to the Brewers in a trade last year, as he also hit .308 (68-for-221) with nine homers and 46 RBI in 64 regular-season games in the second half of 2025. He's rostered in just 29% of Yahoo leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/designated hitter Andrew Vaughn missed all of April due to a hand injury, but he's swinging the bat well since his return and is only rostered in 31% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. Vaughn shares playing time at first base and DH with Jake Bauers, but he should see more regular playing time with outfielder/DH Christian Yelich (back) potentially landing on the injured list. The 28-year-old former third overall pick out of Cal Berkeley in 2019 by the Chicago White Sox flipped a switch late last year when he was acquired from the White Sox, hitting .308/.375/.493 with an .869 OPS, nine homers, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored in 64 games in Milwaukee. Since returning from his hand injury this year, he has gone 7-for-24 (.292) at the plate with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, and five runs scored across 30 plate appearances. It's a small sample size, but Vaughn certainly has more fantasy upside as a corner infield/utility option for fantasy managers in Milwaukee. Give him a look.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn joined the team in a midseason trade last year and had a monster second half, making him a nice waiver wire addition. He's looking to run it back this season and is back with the team after missing over a month with a fractured hamate bone suffered on Opening Day. Vaughn went 0-for-4 in his first game back but went 2-for-4 with a homer on Wednesday and 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and two runs scored on Friday against the Yankees. He's hitting .267 with a .389 wOBA in his extremely small sample size this year, and after joining the Brewers just after July 4 last year, he hit .308 with a .373 wOBA and nine homers in 64 games. Especially in leagues that reward high batting average and run production, Vaughn should have value for as long as he's a regular, everyday part of the Brew Crew's lineup. He is worth adding in all standard 12-team leagues if needing a boost in your corner infield position.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Monday before the series opener against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals that they reinstated first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) from the 10-day injured list. It's unclear if Vaughn will be right back in the team's starting lineup on Monday at Busch Stadium against Cardinals right-hander Kyle Leahy. The 28-year-old former third overall pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2019 out of Cal appeared in just one game this year (he went 1-for-4 at the plate with an RBI) before landing on the IL with a fractured left hamate bone when he was hit by a pitch on his hand. Vaughn required surgery, but he's now back with the club and should start regularly at first base for the Brew Crew. His return will likely push the left-handed-hitting Jake Bauers to designated hitter and the outfield. The Brewers and fantasy managers are hoping that Vaughn can continue to hit like he did late last year after they picked him up from Chicago, when he went 68-for-221 (.308) with nine home runs and 46 RBI in 64 regular-season games. Vaughn is rostered in only 34% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Vaughn is expected to come off the 10-day injured list when he's eligible on Monday, May 4. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger fractured his left hamate bone in his hand on Opening Day and needed surgery, which is why he's been out since then. The former third overall pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2019 out of Cal looked like a totally different hitter in his 64 games for the Brew Crew late last year, hitting .308 (68-for-221) with nine home runs, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored across 254 plate appearances. When he returns next week, Vaughn should play regularly between first base and designated hitter, and he could be a nice boost as a corner infielder off the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues. Vaughn is currently rostered in only 34% of Yahoo leagues. Jake Bauers has also become a waiver-wire consideration in Milwaukee of late with elevated playing time at first base.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (left hand) has rejoined the team and said that his surgery "went great," according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Vaughn, who suffered a broken left hamate bone on Opening Day, has resumed activities not involving his hand and said that the original timetable of four to six weeks remains the goal for his return. Vaughn was a key difference maker for the Brewers last season, and they're hoping he can provide a similar impact when he's healthy enough to play in a month or so. In 64 big-league games after being traded from the White Sox to the Brewers last year, he slashed .308/.375/.493 with nine home runs, 46 RBI, a 9.4% walk rate, and a 14.6% strikeout rate. Gary Sanchez and Jake Bauers have been platooning at first base in his absence.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) had surgery on Monday for the fractured hamate bone in his left hand and will begin post-operation rehab on Tuesday, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Vaughn is expected to return in the middle of May, barring a setback. The Brewers placed Vaughn on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. With Vaughn sidelined for the first month-plus of the 2026 regular season, Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez figure to split playing time at first base for the Brew Crew. If you haven't already done so in deeper fantasy leagues, Bauers is worth considering as a short-term boost for bench depth with more playing time. In his first four games, he's gone 4-for-15 (.267) with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base. Vaughn, a former third overall pick in 2019 by the White Sox out of Cal, will be hoping he can pick up where he left off last year in Milwaukee (.308 average with nine homers and 46 RBI in 64 games) when he returns from his hand injury in May.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) fractured the left hamate bone in his hand on Opening Day on Thursday and will require surgery, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Vaughn is expected to need four to six weeks of recovery. The Brewers placed Vaughn on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. It's a tough break for the former White Sox first baseman, who came to life in Milwaukee after being acquired from Chicago last year. In 64 games with the Brew Crew, he hit .308/.375/.493 with an .869 OPS, nine home runs, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored in 254 plate appearances. With Vaughn going on the IL, the Brewers recalled catching prospect Jeferson Quero. Veteran catcher Gary Sanchez figures to platoon at first base with Jake Bauers, while Quero gives starting catcher William Contreras a breather when he needs it behind the plate. In the Opening Day win on Thursday over his former team, the White Sox, Vaughn went 1-for-4 with an RBI.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) is battling a hand injury, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. McCalvy reports that Vaughn's injury is prompting Milwaukee to promote catching prospect Jefferson Quero to provide the team the flexibility to use normal backup catcher Gary Sanchez at first base. Vaughn appears likely to be placed on the injured list, but it's not entirely clear how much time Milwaukee expects him to miss. The 27-year-old started Milwaukee's opener on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox at first base and batted cleanup. Vaughn closed the 2025 season on a tear, hitting .308/.375/.493 with nine home runs, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored across 254 plate appearances with Milwaukee. If he's forced to miss time, Sanchez and left-handed hitting outfielder/first baseman Jake Bauers could be the leading candidates to cover first base for the Brewers.

Once a former top prospect with the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn was demoted to Triple-A while still with the White Sox organization in the middle of 2025. A mid-season trade to Milwaukee provided the 27-year-old with a second chance, and he took advantage of the opportunity. Across 254 plate appearances with the Brewers, Vaughn hit .308/.375/.493 with nine home runs, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored. With a career 46.5% hard-hit rate, Vaughn has always carried intriguing underlying numbers, so the change of scenery may have been all he needed to unlock his potential. Heading into 2026, Vaughn should have a chance to lock down the starting first base job in Milwaukee. While he's not a speed threat, Vaughn has the chance to provide fantasy managers with four-category production and comes at a reasonable average draft position of pick 284.
