Andrew Vaughn Fantasy Stats

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.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn was nearly unstoppable at the plate during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After an epic beginning to his career in Milwaukee, Vaughn saw his numbers take a dip there for a bit. Now, Vaughn appears to be back after a strong performance on Sunday. He went 4-for-5 at the plate with three singles, a double, and one RBI in the blowout win. His overall numbers aren't great because of his previous time with the Chicago White Sox. However, Vaughn has been a stud with the Brewers and should be rostered in at least deep leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn remains red hot for the Brewers, and helped them secure a 5-4 win on Wednesday night to close out a sweep of the Braves. The Brewers have won six straight and nine of their last 10 games to open a four-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central, and Vaughn's contributions have been key to their success. In his 22 games since being called up from Triple-A, Vaughn is hitting .377 with seven homers, 28 RBI, and a .476 wOBA. The former No. 3 overall pick in the MLB Draft couldn't stick with the White Sox, but he has been outstanding in his time with the Brewers, and he remains a great bargain play for DFS contests and an excellent addition if he's still on the waiver wire. His long-term role is a little uncertain when the Brewers get healthy, but he's definitely earned a regular spot in the lineup for the foreseeable future.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn is getting the day off in Sunday's series finale against the visiting Washington Nationals at American Family Field. Jake Bauers will make the start at first base and will bat sixth against Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin. After flaming out with the Chicago White Sox as a former first-round pick, the Brewers traded for Vaughn this year, and he's taken full advantage of his opportunities in Milwaukee with Rhys Hoskins (thumb) on the injured list. In just five games with the Brew Crew, the 27-year-old right-handed hitter has gone 6-for-14 with two home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI and three runs scored. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's victory over Washington. Vaughn should continue to get chances at first base in Milwaukee, at least until Hoskins recovers from his thumb ailment.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn has come alive with the bat since joining his new team. His success at the plate continued during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Vaughn went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in the 6-5 win over the Nats on Saturday. The right-handed slugger is 6-for-14 with 10 RBI since joining the Brewers on Monday. Vaughn figures to continue getting regular playing time while Rhys Hoskins (thumb) is out. Fantasy managers looking for a boost in their lineup right now should consider adding Vaughn while he's hot at the plate.

The Milwaukee Brewers plan to recall first baseman Andrew Vaughn from Triple-A Nashville, Robert Murray of FanSided reports. He'll be the corresponding move when the Brewers place Rhys Hoskins (thumb) on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb. The Brewers acquired Vaughn from the Chicago White Sox for right-hander Aaron Civale on June 13. Since then, the 27-year-old has batted .259/.338/.500 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 65 plate appearances with Nashville. Vaughn entered the pro ranks as the third overall pick of the White Sox in 2019, but the former prized prospect hasn't lived up to the billing in the majors. He got off to a disastrous .189/.218/.314 start with five homers and 19 RBI in 193 plate appearances this year before the White Sox decided to cut the cord on him. The right-handed Vaughn could now form a platoon at first base with the left-handed Jake Bauers in Milwaukee.
