2024 Fantasy Outlook
The offseason departure of Jose Abreu allowed Vaughn to settle in as the White Sox's primary first baseman in 2023, and he delivered similar results at the plate with 21 homers, 80 RBI, 67 runs and a .258/.314/.429 slash line in 152 games. The production was similar to 2022 but resulted in a barely above-average 103 wRC+ since offense was up across MLB last season. The fact he maintained that solid level of production in a poor Chicago offense is encouraging, though it's also a bit disappointing he didn't take more of a step forward in year three. Now entering his age-26 season, Vaughn has established a decent floor but still has plenty of room for improvement, and he'll need to tap into that upside in order to be a real difference maker for fantasy managers.

ANALYSIS
Vaughn started the first 16 games of the season but has a .457 OPS and is 1-for-16 over his past four contests. Gavin Sheets will start at first base as Eloy Jimenez (adductor) is back from the injured list and at designated hitter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely moving back to first base
Vaughn is likely to take over first base in 2023, as Jose Abreu is not expected to return to the White Sox, reports Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times.
ANALYSIS
After Abreu, Vaughn had the most appearances at first base of anybody on the team in 2022 with 23. Throughout his time in the minors and college, first base was his primary position, and he didn't move to the outfield until being called up to the majors. The 24-year-old had an excellent first half in 2022 but struggled in the second half and ended up with a .271/.321/.429 slash line with 17 homers in 134 games. There's a possibility that Gavin Sheets could also claim some time at first base, but Vaughn is the most likely internal candidate.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Vaughn continued to see inconsistent playing time early and spent time on the injured list with a hand bruise, but in the end he totaled 555 plate appearances, second most on the team. The White Sox used the third overall pick in 2019 to select Vaughn out of college and brought him up quickly even with a lost year of development time due to the pandemic. He has more than held his own, offensively, hitting for respectable power (32 homers) and average (.255) in 261 big-league games to date. While Vaughn has not been good in the outfield, it looks like he will get to move back to his natural position of first base now that Jose Abreu is in Houston. Expect another step forward with the bat in Vaughn's age-25 season and perhaps two if he can be a bit more discerning and selective with the breaking ball.
