WATCH HEREVaughn, who was the third overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, has greatly struggled to start the 2025 season, producing an offensive slash line of .189/.218/.314, amounting to a 50 OPS+, 50 points below league average.
A former top prospect of the team, Vaughn made his MLB debut in 2021 and was part of the playoff roster of that year's division champion White Sox, going 2-for-5 in the postseason.
After posting two seasons of above average offensive production, Vaughn hit slightly below league average last year, with 19 home runs, 70 RBI and a .699 OPS.
Vaughn last played at the minor league level in 2022, appearing in two games for the Charlotte Knights before returning to the White Sox.
