Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Regaining foothold at first base
Rotowire
Vaughn will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Padres.
Vaughn had been briefly overtaken by Jake Bauers as the Brewers' primary first baseman, but it will be Vaughn holding down first base Monday for the fifth time across the last seven contests. The 27-year-old Vaughn is slashing .415/.458/.561 in September, though he's yet to go deep this month.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Losing out on playing time
Rotowire
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Though he's provided a spark to the Milwaukee lineup since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on July 7 and owns a .967 OPS in September, Vaughn nonetheless looks to be fading into a platoon role as the season winds down. He'll be on the bench for a fourth consecutive matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, with Milwaukee going with the left-handed-hitting Jake Bauers at first base over Vaughn in each of those contests.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old will miss a third consecutive start at first base Saturday in favor of Jake Bauers. Vaughn may continue to receive fewer starts going forward now that Bauers and Rhys Hoskins are both off the injured list, but he still seems to have a grip on regular playing time after appearing off the bench in each of Milwaukee's last two contests.

Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.
Vaughn started the first two games of the series and each of the last six contests, but he'll get a break during Wednesday's finale. Jake Bauers -- not the recently-activated Rhys Hoskins -- will fill in at first base in Vaughn's stead.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Getting breather Saturday
Rotowire
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Vaughn will get a well-earned day off Saturday against San Francisco as Jake Bauers fills in at first base. Vaughn had started 27 consecutive games at first base, slashing .320/.383/.563 with seven home runs and a 9:16 BB:K during that stretch. Although he's expected to remain Milwaukee's primary first baseman, off days could come more frequently as Bauers, and eventually Rhys Hoskins (thumb), are added to the fold.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.
Vaughn crushed a 406-foot homer off Nick Martinez in the Brewers' five-run third inning. He's now hit safely in 18 of his past 19 games, racking up seven home runs and 23 RBI during that stretch.

Vaughn was the fourth Brewer to homer when he mashed a three-run homer 441 feet to left field in the sixth. He's hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games and now has 32 RBI since joining the Brewers on July 7, which is the second most in baseball since that date.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Remains productive
Rotowire
Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against Atlanta in Wednesday's 5-4 win.
Vaughn contributed a solo homer to center field in the fourth inning and added an RBI on a groundout in the following frame. The veteran first baseman is in the midst of a 12-game hitting streak during which he's batting an impressive .435 (20-for-46) with five home runs, 10 runs scored, 16 RBI and a 4:8 K:BB. Rhys Hoskins (thumb) is expected to be absent until at least late August, so Vaughn should have ample opportunity to continue to rack up stats -- and even when Hoskins does come back, it seems likely the Brewers will continue to give Vaughn everyday at-bats if he's still hitting as well as he is now.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Stays hot in Friday's win
Rotowire
Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a walk, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 16-9 win over the Nationals.
The first baseman remains locked in, clubbing his 11th homer of the season in the eighth inning off Andry Lara. Vaughn has been a revelation since joining the Brewers in early July, slashing .386/.448/.772 over 17 games with four doubles, six homers, 13 runs and a massive 24 RBI, and he's finally showing the kind of upside that led the White Sox to select him third overall in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Brings home six runs
Rotowire
Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.
Vaughn singled and scored in the second inning before bringing home a run with a sacrifice fly in the third. He knocked an RBI single in the fifth and capped off his day with a game-sealing grand slam in the sixth.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Sitting Sunday
Rotowire
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Vaughn has gotten off to a red-hot start to his time with the Brewers, recording at least one hit in each of his first five games while producing a 1.500 OPS and driving in 10 runs. The Brewers haven't yet committed to Vaughn as a full-time player, however, as Jake Bauers will replace him in the lineup Sunday while Milwaukee looks to keep both players involved at first base in the absence of Rhys Hoskins (thumb).

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Drives in four in win
Rotowire
Vaughn went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.
Vaughn has hit safely in all five of his games with Milwaukee, going 6-for-14 (.429) with four extra-base hits and 10 RBI. The first baseman delivered a pair of two-run doubles Saturday, with the second being a game-tying hit during the Brewers' ninth-inning comeback.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
After getting called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Vaughn started at first base in both of the first two contests of the series with the Dodgers, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two walks, four RBI and two runs. Jake Bauers will get the nod at first base Wednesday, but Vaughn could end up seeing the bulk of the starts at the position while Rhys Hoskins (thumb) is on the shelf until around mid-to-late August.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Goes yard in team debut
Rotowire
Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Monday's 9-1 win over the Dodgers.
After Vaughn had spent the previous three weeks at Triple-A Nashville following his acquisition from the White Sox on June 13, the Brewers called up the 27-year-old first baseman from the minors to replace Rhys Hoskins (thumb) on the active roster. Vaughn entered the starting nine in his first game with Milwaukee and made an instant impact, taking Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the first inning and plating Sal Frelick and William Contreras to stake the Brewers to an early lead. While Vaughn's long-term role with the Brewers remains unclear, the fact that he drew the start at first base against the right-handed Yamamoto over the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers suggests that Vaughn will get a look as the team's primary option at the position while Hoskins is on the shelf.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Moves up to big club
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Vaughn from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Though he was acquired from the White Sox on June 13, Vaughn had played exclusively at Nashville since the trade but will now get the chance to join Milwaukee after first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The absence of Hoskins opens up an everyday spot in the lineup, but rather than leaning on the right-handed Vaughn as the primary option at first base, manager Pat Murphy could be inclined to deploy Vaughn in the short side of a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Jake Bauers. Vaughn had been performing effectively for Nashville prior to his call-up, slashing .259/.338/.500 with three home runs and a 10.8 percent walk rate over 65 plate appearances with the affiliate.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Going to Brewers
Rotowire
The Brewers have acquired Vaughn from the White Sox on Friday in exchange for right-hander Aaron Civale, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Vaughn was demoted to Triple-A Charlotte last month after slashing only .189/.218/.314 with five home runs across 193 plate appearances. The third overall pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft has been a disappointment at the big-league level, slashing .248/.303/.407 over parts of five seasons. In MIlwaukee, Vaughn will be behind Rhys Hoskins at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter, so he'll likely go to Triple-A Nashville in hopes of finding his swing, but his results at Charlotte thus far (.211/.328/.368 in 67 plate appearances) haven't been pretty. The 27-year-old is making $5.85 million in 2025 and has another year of team control next season.
