The White Sox optioned Vaughn to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Vaughn has been an MLB regular with the White Sox since 2021, but he's gotten off to a horrible start in 2025, slashing .189/.218/.314 with five home runs, 19 RBI, nine runs scored, zero stolen bases and a 7:43 BB:K across 193 plate appearances. Vaughn will try to find his swing at Triple-A.

White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Smacks three-run homer Monday
Rotowire
Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's 9-0 win over the Twins.
Vaughn began the season 1-for-12 across a three-game series against the Angels, but he started the White Sox's offensive onslaught Monday when he took Chris Paddack deep for a 371-foot, three-run homer to left field in the first inning. Vaughn was one long shot shy from recording a second-straight 20-homer season last year and will aim to reach that benchmark in 2025.
Vaughn has only one extra-base hit across 26 at-bats in Cactus League action.
Vaughn has seven hits this spring, leading to a decent .269 average. The lack of pop could be a concern, though he's been very consistent across his four big-league seasons by posting ISOs between .156 and .171 in each campaign. Vaughn doesn't appear to have much upside heading into the 2025 season -- especially considering the state of the White Sox's lineup -- but he should be a near everyday player hitting in the middle of the order.
White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Avoids arbitration hearing
Rotowire
Vaughn signed a one-year, $5.85 million contract with the White Sox on Thursday to avoid arbitration, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Vaughn had a career-worst .699 OPS over 149 games in 2024 but will still receive a sizable raise in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The 26-year-old should open 2025 as Chicago's primary first baseman, but his opportunities could shrink if he continues to regress.
