Andrew Vaughn Starting a Rehab Assignment on Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Vaughn is expected to come off the 10-day injured list when he's eligible on Monday, May 4. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger fractured his left hamate bone in his hand on Opening Day and needed surgery, which is why he's been out since then. The former third overall pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2019 out of Cal looked like a totally different hitter in his 64 games for the Brew Crew late last year, hitting .308 (68-for-221) with nine home runs, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored across 254 plate appearances. When he returns next week, Vaughn should play regularly between first base and designated hitter, and he could be a nice boost as a corner infielder off the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues. Vaughn is currently rostered in only 34% of Yahoo leagues. Jake Bauers has also become a waiver-wire consideration in Milwaukee of late with elevated playing time at first base.
