Stuck on bench yet again Vaughn will sit Monday against Cleveland.

Impact While the White Sox made the commendable decision to include Vaughn on their Opening Day roster instead of manipulating his service time, there's still been no indication that they intend to use him all that often. He's yet to start a single game as a designated hitter, thanks in large part due to Yermin Mercedes' early-season tear. He's started five times in 10 games in left field, though he's made just a single start against a righty. He remains stuck on the short side of a platoon Monday, with Nick Williams getting the nod in his absence.

Stuck on bench again Vaughn will sit Thursday against the Royals.

Impact The White Sox elected to include Vaughn on the Opening Day roster rather than manipulate his service time, but that evidently didn't mean they saw him as an everyday player. Yermin Mercedes' hot start has meant Vaughn hasn't made a single start as the designated hitter, and he's started just four of eight games in left field. Nick Williams will start in his place Thursday.

Enters game in sixth inning Vaughn entered Wednesday's game in the sixth inning after left fielder Billy Hamilton was removed due to a hamstring injury. He went 1-for-2 in an 8-4 loss to the Mariners.

Impact The White Sox have been hit with a spate of injuries that have thinned the corps in left field, opening up at-bats for Vaughn as an outfielder and potentially giving him position eligibility there. Adam Engel (hamstring) was already on the injured list, and he's now been joined by shortstop Tim Anderson (hamstring), which means the multi-positional Leury Garcia will be needed in the infield. And now Hamilton is sidelined, although the severity of the injury is not known.

Not starting Wednesday Vaughn isn't in the starting nine for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Vaughn recorded his first extra-base hit in the majors Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with one RBI, two walks and two strikeouts while starting the past two games. Billy Hamilton will start in left field while Zack Collins serves as the designated hitter Wednesday.

Notches first big-league hit Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

Impact It was a night to remember for Vaughn as he finally was able to connect on a fastball for a double in the right-centerfield gap for his first career major league hit. The 22-year-old prospect made hard contact all night and showed discipline at the plate while drawing two walks. He also had a ball clang off his glove, which was ruled a double, contributing to a three-run third inning for Seattle. It's possible he takes a seat Wednesday against right-hander Justin Dunn after starting in back-to-back games but he definitely shook off some jitters after starting the season 0-for-9.

Starting Monday, Tuesday Vaughn will start Monday and Tuesday against left-handers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Vaughn, who was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Angels, has started two of the first four games. One game facing a left-hander and one a right-hander. He may eventually settle into a primary role at DH, but the White Sox have rolled with the uber-hot Yermin Mercedes as designated hitter the last three games.

Left out of lineup Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact He'll be sitting for the second time in the four-game series while the White Sox hand a start to Billy Hamilton in left field and the hot-hitting Yermin Mercedes at designated hitter. Vaughn is still looking for his first hit after going 0-for-6 with a walk and three strikeouts over his first two big-league games.

Set for MLB debut Vaughn will make his major-league debut Friday against the Angels, batting fifth and playing left field, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vaughn didn't do anything but sit back and watch on Opening Day, as the White Sox started Leury Garcia in left field and Zack Collins as the designated hitter. It's possible that he's stuck on the short side of a platoon in left to begin the year, as he'll start against the left-handed Andrew Heaney after the switch-hitting Garcia started against the right-handed Bundy, though it will take a few more games to determine whether or not that's the case.
