Andrew Vaughn News
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is back as the designated hitter and is batting third on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brady Singer, while first baseman Andrew Vaughn is getting the day off. Jimenez was activated from the injured list on Monday but wasn't in the starting lineup before getting a pinch-hit appearance later in the game. The White Sox are going to ease him back into the fold, but he could see more appearances in the outfield after starting there only 14 of 118 times in 2023. Vaughn has gone 1-for-16 in the last four games and 10-for-58 with no homers and three RBI to begin the year, so he's deserving of a rest. Gavin Sheets is at first base and is batting cleanup on Tuesday.
Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 15-4 Cactus League rout of the Milwaukee Brewers, walloping a two-run home run during the second inning. Vaughn is still delivering a lukewarm start during the spring, batting .257 with a .689 OPS, one homer, and three RBI in 35 at-bats. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old former No. 3 overall pick will finally put all his slugging potential together in 2024, but he's coming in at a very affordable 253.0 Yahoo ADP in fantasy drafts. After slashing .258/.314/.429 with 21 big flies, 30 doubles, and 80 RBI in 566 ABs as the everyday ChiSox first baseman a year ago, Vaughn should be considered something of a post-hype sleeper entering his fourth season in the major leagues.
The Chicago White Sox and first baseman Andrew Vaughn have avoided arbitration with a one-year, $3.25 million deal for the 2024 campaign. The young slugger took over full-time duty at first base following the departure of Jose Abreu in the 2023 season and went on to hit .258 with 21 home runs and a .743 OPS across 615 trips to the plate. However, his subpar 5.9% BB% lowered his overall value at the plate as his 103 wRC+ registered just 3% above the league average. Nonetheless, it was the third straight season the former third-overall pick increased his home run total but he has still fallen below lofty expectations with 53 home runs across 413 big-league games, averaging 17.7 home runs per season across his first three big-league campaigns.

Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn did not have the breakout season fantasy managers hoped for in 2023. The 25-year-old slashed .258/.314/.429 with 30 doubles, 21 home runs, and 80 RBI with 103 wRC+ across 615 plate appearances. Vaughn maintained solid production despite playing for a woeful White Sox offense. His 46.5% hard-hit percentage was in the 79th percentile, while Vaughn's average exit velocity (90.6) placed him in the 73rd percentile per Baseball Savant. Over his first three big league seasons, he has essentially been a league-average hitter, unable to take the next step. However, a breakout campaign from the former No. 2 overall pick in 2024 is still possible. He has the raw talent and spent the offseason gaining strength and improving his agility. Currently, his NFBC ADP is around 230. ATC projects him to hit .261/.320/.440 with 29 doubles, 22 HRs, and 76 RBI in 2024. Overall, Vaughn is worth keeping an eye on. He can blow past his draft stock if he finally puts it together.
