Vaughn was a slam-dunk non-tender when his White Sox career ended last summer, but then he went on to hit .308/.375/.493 with nine homers in 64 games with the Brewers. He’ll probably open up as the team’s everyday first baseman in his next-to-last year before free agency.

Vaughn’s RBI single in the first inning put the Brewers up 3-0 and he scored in the third inning to make it 7-0. The 27-year-old first baseman has three games with at least three hits in his last seven games. He’s hitting .248 with a .705 OPS and 60 RBI this year.

The 27-year-old slugger gave the Brewers their best shot at scoring in the game — smacking a one-out double off of Suarez after William Contreras had walked to open the sixth inning. The next three hitters were unable to cash either of those runs in though. With his three-hit attack, Vaughn is now slashing .296/.361/.497 with nine homers and 40 RBI in just 192 plate appearances since joining the Brewers.

Vaughn cooled off from his hot streak to the point where the Brewers moved him out of the cleanup spot in the lineup. The 27-year-old first baseman was back hitting fourth on Friday and wound up with a three-hit game and two RBI. Vaughn is hitting .240 with a .694 OPS and 59 RBI on the year.

Vaughn has been moved out of the cleanup spot on a handful of recent occasions as he’s a bit of a rough patch of late, batting .218 (12-for-55) with two homers and 10 RBI over his last 15 games. The 27-year-old kicked off his Milwaukee tenure on an absolute heater, but he’s cooled off considerably over his last few games.

Vaughn drove in William Contreras with an RBI single off of Jameson Taillon in the opening inning that gave the Brewers an early 1-0 advantage. That would be their lone tally in the contest. The 27-year-old slugger finished the evening 1-for-4 and is now hitting .243/.290/.424 with 14 homers and 55 RBI in 335 plate appearances on the season.

Vaughn’s home run was his 14th this year and ninth in 29 games since joining the Brewers. The 27-year-old is enjoying one of the better redemption arcs since going from one of the worst teams in base to one of the best. A former third-overall pick, Vaughn is still going to have to put up more than just one good month to prove he’s legitimate.

Vaughn continues to impress since being traded from Chicago to the Brew Crew, and he took Ryan Borucki deep for his 13th homer of the season with eight of those coming as a member of the Brewers. Vaughn has shown flashes of this ability since being the third-overall pick, and while there’s reason to be skeptical, it’s not totally insane to believe he’s a version of this player.

The Brewers simply will not stop. They are the first team in baseball to reach 70 wins and they’re doing so with a cast of misfit characters that no one could have guessed would be providing this level of production. Vaughn is in the middle of it all. His homer in the fourth inning gave them a lead they’d never give back, but it was truly a hit-parade against Braves’ starter Spencer Strider that chased him before he could complete five innings. Nevertheless, Vaughn has been one of the best stories in baseball since coming to the Brewers from the White Sox with seven home runs, 28 RBI, a .377 batting average, and 1.145 OPS across 22 games after being considered a colossal bust in Chicago. This Brewers organization can do no wrong at the moment.

Vaughn delivered a two-out, two-run single off of Joey Wentz in the third inning that capped off a four-run uprising in the frame and would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. He also worked Austin Cox for a walk that loaded the bases in the seventh inning. He has been on a tear since joining the Brewers and is slowly bringing his overall season slash back to respectability — hitting .240/.284/.415 with 11 homers and 45 RBI.

Vaughn plated Jackson Chourio with a sacrifice fly in the third inning that gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead they would never relinquish. He then added on with an RBI single in the fifth inning and put the game out of reach with a 409-foot grand slam off of Ryan Pressly in the sixth that made it 9-2. He has been sizzling at the dish since joining the Brewers and is now slashing .227/.268/.408 overall with 10 homers and 40 RBI across 250 plate appearances at the big league level this season.

Vaughn had two hits against the Marlins, but his biggest hit came in the bottom of the eighth inning. With the Brewers down by a run and two outs, Vaughn’s double tied the game 2-2. He’s hitting .217 with a .633 OPS and 33 RBI this year, but .341/.417/.659 in 41 at-bats since joining the Brewers.

Vaughn also doubled and scored another run in a solid outing for the first baseman, albeit in a loss. Since being acquired by the Brew Crew from the White Sox, he’s now slashing .324/.409/.649. That’s a sample of just 12 games, but it’s nice to be reminded of why Vaughn was such a highly-touted prospect coming out of the 2019 MLB Draft, and he’s still just 27.

Vaughn singled off of Clayton Kershaw in the opening inning but was left stranded there. He then drew a leadoff walk to open the fourth inning and scored the game’s first run on a throwing error by Tommy Edman. He also singled in the fifth and drew another walk in the sixth inning. Vaughn looked rejuvenated in a Brewers’ uniform and is now hitting .391 (9-for-23) with a pair of homers and 12 RBI in his first eight games with his new ballclub.

Vaughn has been sizzling-hot since making his Milwaukee debut earlier this week, batting .429 (6-for-14) with two homers and 10 RBI through five games. The 27-year-old former top prospect won’t sustain this astronomical level of production for long, but he’s going to get a legitimate opportunity to play everyday for Milwaukee with Rhys Hoskins (thumb) likely out until at least mid-August. It’ll be Jake Bauers taking over at the cold corner on Sunday afternoon.

Vaughn’s Brewers career couldn’t be off to a better start, as he’s driven in runs in all five games since debuting Monday. He had a total of eight doubles in 52 games this season before his two liners today. He would have scored the winning run, too, but the Brewers had Andruw Monasterio pinch-run for him before Caleb Durbin’s single (which would have been at least a double) ended it.

Vaughn’s home run was his seventh of the year and second with the Brewers. The 27-year-old first baseman hit a solo shot off Luis Garcia in the seventh inning. Vaughn is still competing with Jake Bauers for at-bats while Rhys Hoskins is on the injured list, making him a fringe option at best in fantasy leagues.

Vaughn was recalled from Triple-A on Monday when Rhys Hoskins was placed on the injured list and has gone 2-for-7 with a home run, two runs scored, and four RBI in his first two games. Still, it appears that he will split time with Jake Bauers against right-handed pitching. Bauers was on the bench for the last two games but will start at first base and bat eighth against Tyler Glasnow on Wednesday.

Vaughn smacked an RBI single off of Clayton Kershaw in the fourth inning that got the Brewers on the board and tied the score at one run apiece. He also drew a walk in the ballgame, reaching base safely in two of his four plate appearances. On the season, he’s hitting .195/.230/.332 with six homers and 23 RBI.

Vaughn hit a ball 409 feet to left to make a spectacular first impression for his new team. He also walked and scored a second run before, oddly, being pinch-hit for by Jake Bauers with a righty on the mound in the seventh. (Oddly because Vaughn got the nod over Bauers against a righty in the first place.) The homer was Vaughn’s sixth in 49 major league games this season. He’ll definitely be back in there tomorrow with the Dodgers starting a lefty.

Technically, they recalled “1B/OF Andrew Vaughn,” but considering that Vaughn hasn’t spent a day in the outfield since 2022, we’re not going along with that. Vaughn was hitting .259/.338/.500 in 15 games for Nashville, which isn’t the kind of line that inspires a ton of confidence. He was batting .189/.218/.314 in 48 games for the White Sox before being demoted and then traded, though his expected numbers were pretty close to his mediocre career averages. The Brewers will probably have him share time at first with Jake Bauers for now, with an expanded role up for grabs if he starts off hot.

With Rhys Hoskins (thumb) heading to the injured list, the move makes a lot of sense to give the Brewers another option that’s capable of playing first base. Vaughn has hit .259/.338/.500 with three homers and 16 RBI over his first 15 games at Triple-A Nashville after being acquired from the White Sox.

Vaughn was acquired by the Brewers for Aaron Civale over the weekend. He’s going to stay at Triple-A for a bit as the Brewers work to get him back to last year’s swing, but with Rhys Hoskins being a popular name in trade rumors, Vaughn could get a chance to start for Milwaukee after the deadline.

Vaughn will remain in the minors and report to Triple-A Nashville. If he starts tearing it up there, perhaps the Brewers would consider making some room for him by playing Christian Yelich in the outfield, but they’ll cross that bridge when they come to it. Vaughn hit just .189/.218/.314 in 48 games for the White Sox before being demoted, though his exit velocity numbers were actually a little better than his career norms. He’d hit .211/.328/.351 in 15 games for Triple-A Charlotte. Given his current $5.85 million salary, he’ll need to experience a real breakthrough to avoid being non-tendered this winter.

KPRC2-Houston’s Ari Alexander reports Vasquez drew interest from nearly a half-dozen teams before signing with the Angels where he figures to have the clearest path to big-league innings. The 31-year-old southpaw has made 64 relief appearances in the majors since 2018. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2023 season.
