White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Ends homerless streak
Rotowire
Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Guardians.

Vaughn had surprisingly sat both Thursday and Friday in favor of Yasmani Grandal and Gavin Sheets, so his playing time will be worth monitoring in the short term.

White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Still targeting Tuesday return
Rotowire
Vaughn (foot) is showing improvement and remains hopeful to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He tried to hit a little bit but he's still sore. We'll wait and see how he is [Monday], and make a decision," manager Pedro Grifol said.
Though the White Sox are maintaining optimism that Vaughn will be ready to go for the series opener versus the North Siders, the team seemingly hasn't ruled out the possibility that the first baseman will require a stint on the 10-day injured list due to the bone bruise in his left foot. As Grifol suggests, the White Sox will presumably reassess how Vaughn is feeling Monday before determining whether he'll be fit to play Tuesday or need to be deactivated. Yasmani Grandal will fill in for Vaughn at first base Sunday.

Vaughn didn't have to come out of Tuesday's contest versus the Mets, but he remains sore a day later. It's not a bad time to give the first baseman a day off, anyway, considering his .188/.204/.208 start to July. Gavin Sheets is at first base Wednesday.
