Vaughn will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Vaughn will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game and will cover the hot corner for a fourth consecutive contest. After having not previously picked up a start at third base since the 2021 season, Vaughn is now up to six starts at the position this season. He could continue to see semi-regular action at third base so long as Cooper Pratt (hamstring) remains on the shelf, potentially giving Vaughn a chance at carrying eligibility at both corner-infield spots in fantasy leagues heading into 2027.

Rotowire
Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with San Diego.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Making rare start at third base
Rotowire
Vaughn will start at third base and bat third in Sunday's game against the Twins.
Vaughn has previously logged 10 total innings at third base across six games this season, but Sunday he'll make his first start at the position since 2021. He won't be a regular option at the hot corner, but David Hamilton is needed at shortstop with Joey Ortiz (neck) and Cooper Pratt (hamstring) both unavailable.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Taking seat Wednesday
Rotowire
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Vaughn was on the bench for the first two games of last weekend's series versus the Rockies, but he started in each of Milwaukee's ensuing three contests and went 3-for-10 with a home run, a walk, two runs and two RBI. With Jake Bauers (foot) back at first base Wednesday following a one-game absence and Luis Lara receiving the start in right field, Vaughn will retreat to the bench for the series finale in San Francisco. Despite playing different positions, Vaughn and Lara appear to be in a quasi-timeshare for the final spot in Milwaukee's regular lineup versus righties, though the Brewers should have room in the starting nine for both players against lefties.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Lifts homer in win
Rotowire
Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Rockies.

For the season, the first baseman is batting .308 with an .878 OPS, four homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 194 plate appearances.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Not in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.
Vaughn has been getting increased reps with Sal Frelick (shoulder) on the shelf, having started each of the previous four games, but he will begin Friday's tilt on the bench. Jake Bauers will play first base, and Luis Lara will patrol right field for the Brewers.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Benefiting from Frelick's absence
Rotowire
Vaughn will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Mets.
Vaughn has maintained a stellar .856 OPS over 57 games this season, but he's nonetheless had to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching since coming off the injured list in early May while Jake Bauers has solidified himself as the Brewers' top option at first base. However, with Sal Frelick (shoulder) going on the injured list Sunday, Milwaukee could have near-everyday roles available for both Bauers and Vaughn in the short term. Bauers will make his second straight start in right field, which will once again open up first base for Vaughn.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Back on bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Vaughn was included in the lineup in the Brewers' last four games and went 3-for-13 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during that stretch, but all but one of those starts came against left-handed pitchers. The 28-year-old remains stuck in more of a part-time role versus righties, with Milwaukee typically prioritizing Jake Bauers at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter over Vaughn in those matchups.
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Goes yard in four-hit effort
Rotowire
Vaughn went 4-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and four total RBI in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.
Vaughn was a consistent producer in the offensive slugfest at Las Vegas Ballpark. After cranking a 420-foot, two-run homer in the third inning, the first baseman added an RBI double in the fifth before delivering a two-run double in the ninth frame to send the contest to extra innings. Fueled by Monday's performance, Vaughn has gone 11-for-27 (.407) with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs across seven games to begin June. Overall, the 28-year-old is hitting .364 with 12 extra-base hits (two homers), 17 RBI and 14 runs across 96 plate appearances in 2026.
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
Vaughn drew starts at first base in each of the last four games and went 6-for-16 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs during that stretch, bringing his OPS up to .934 for the season. The 28-year-old is locked into a full-time role against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more variable while Milwaukee has all of its key position players available and while Jake Bauers has produced a healthy .855 OPS versus right-handed pitching thus far.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Three hits in win Monday
Rotowire
Vaughn went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.
Vaughn struck out in the first inning but recorded three hits in his final three plate appearances. The 28-year-old has seen his playing time scaled back at times against right-handed pitching, but he's making it difficult for manager Pat Murphy to keep Vaughn out of the lineup. He's done nothing but hit since returning from a broken hamate bone suffered in the first game of the season. Across 59 trips to the plate in 2026, Vaughn is slashing .333/.424/.510 with six doubles, one homer, eight RBI, nine runs scored and a 6:6 BB:K. He's striking out in a career-low 9.1 percent of his at-bats.
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Sitting again versus righty
Rotowire
Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
It marks the third straight instance that the right-handed-hitting Vaughn has been out of the lineup when the opposition sent a righty to the mound (Edward Cabrera, in this case). Vaughn is hitting .323/.462/.516 in 11 games since coming off the injured list, but Jake Bauers remains the Brewers' primary first baseman against righties, with Christian Yelich filling the designated hitter slot.
