2023 Fantasy Outlook
Vaughn continued to see inconsistent playing time early and spent time on the injured list with a hand bruise, but in the end he totaled 555 plate appearances, second most on the team. The White Sox used the third overall pick in 2019 to select Vaughn out of college and brought him up quickly even with a lost year of development time due to the pandemic. He has more than held his own, offensively, hitting for respectable power (32 homers) and average (.255) in 261 big-league games to date. While Vaughn has not been good in the outfield, it looks like he will get to move back to his natural position of first base now that Jose Abreu is in Houston. Expect another step forward with the bat in Vaughn's age-25 season and perhaps two if he can be a bit more discerning and selective with the breaking ball. Read Past Outlooks
Hopes to return Monday
Vaughn (back) appeared in another minor-league game Saturday and hopes to return to the big-league lineup Monday against the Cubs, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Vaughn has been dealing with lower-back soreness for over a week, but he's trending in the right direction. He served as the designated hitter in Friday's minor-league contest and will play the field Saturday. If he does indeed play Monday and gets through the game without issues, he should be good to go for Opening Day.

How does Andrew Vaughn compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Vaughn had a decent rookie season after making the club out of camp, but his final numbers were well below fantasy expectations. The market was bullish on the slugging rookie even though he was relegated to the alternate site in 2020 following a fantastic Cactus League showing. The X-factor in play was Tony La Russa's unpredictable relationship with rookies, and at the end of the day, the fears of Vaughn struggling at the plate and getting inconsistent playing time were validated. La Russa used him in unusual ways, and the rookie finished the season slightly below league average by most offensive measures. The good news is his struggles should reset his draft cost to a more fitting level, though at the same time, the same challenges exist, with similarly-profiled outfielders clogging the depth chart. He should be better in 2022, but his playing time is hardly any more guaranteed than it was this time last year.
