    • Nursing injured finger
      Vaughn is dealing with a sprained left ring finger, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Vaughn was set to be absent from Chicago's starting lineup again Saturday and manager Pedro Grifol announced that the 26-year-old is dealing with the finger injury. Grifol said Vaughn will miss 3-to-5 days, with Saturday's contest being the third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 am
       
    • Andrew Vaughn dealing with sprained left finger
      Andrew Vaughn is not in Saturday’s lineup due to a sprained left ring finger.

      Advice: Vaughn will miss his second straight contest on Saturday due to an injury that he suffered earlier this week while sliding into third base. The hope is that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and be ready to return to Chicago’s lineup at some point early next week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    • Sitting Saturday
      Vaughn is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Brewers.

      Advice: Vaughn will remain on the bench for a second game in a row Saturday. Gavin Sheets will draw another start at first base and bat fifth against Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:25 am
       
    • Plates three runs Friday
      Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in an 11-8 win over Kansas City on Friday.

      Advice: Cronenworth was a key part of San Diego's nine-run eighth inning, knocking in the first two runs of the frame with a single and capping the outburst with an RBI double. The pair of base knocks were much-needed for the second baseman, as he had just one hit over his previous 14 at-bats prior to the big inning. Cronenworth slashed .265/.315/.461 with four homers, 18 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base over 26 games in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:17 am
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      Vaughn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

      Advice: Vaughn will get a day off Friday after appearing in seven straight contests for the White Sox. Instead, Gavin Sheets will play first base and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:21 pm
       
    • Jake Cronenworth goes 0-for-4 versus Marlins
      Jake Cronenworth went 0-for-4 on Tuesday, leaving him 12-for-56 in his last 15 games.

      Advice: Given his obvious decline in 2022 and ’23, Cronenworth was a very nice surprise to begin this year, batting .285/.349/.503 in his first 39 games. He’s slumped the last two weeks, but his exit velocity numbers are still encouraging enough to suggest that he’ll snap out of this and remain rather productive. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:13 pm
       
    • Cronenworth has double, RBI against Marlins Monday
      Jake Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI against the Marlins on Monday.

      Advice: Cronenworth’s bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning was the difference in the Padres’ 2-1 victory over the Marlins. He continues to play second base after the Padres’ trade for Luis Arraez. Cronenworth’s average is up to .271 and his OPS is up to .806, both of which would be career-highs.

    • Andrew Vaughn hitting clean-up on Monday
      Andrew Vaughn will bat clean-up for the White Sox on Monday against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Vaughn has moved all around the lineup but has usually hit second or third in the order. With both Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jimenez out, the White Sox are looking for anybody to fill the middle of the order. While Vaughn’s average hasn’t been great this year, he does have four home runs and a .400 slugging percentage in May which is an upgrade from April where he had no home runs and just a .238 slugging percentage. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go, but it’s nice to see Vaughn taking slow steps in the right direction. Rotoworld Monday, 8:26 am
       
    • Andrew Vaughn homers, doubles against Orioles
      Andrew Vaughn had a solo homer, an RBI double and a walk Friday versus the Orioles.

      Advice: Vaughn had dipped again recently, entering tonight in a 1-for-20 slump. He definitely seems to be swinging better now than he was a month ago, but he’s probably not going to get to the point at which he overcomes being part of such a bad offense in order to contribute in mixed leagues.
