Andrew Vaughn Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup After Three-Hit Game?
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn missed all of April with a hand injury, but now that he's back and swinging the bat well, fantasy managers should take a peek at him as a waiver-wire addition for some power with the first-place Brewers. Vaughn went hitless as a pinch-hitter in Milwaukee's 2-1 victory over the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, but he went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 victory and is currently hitting .327 with a .917 OPS in 17 games so far in 2027 in his sixth year in the big leagues. Before starting on the bench in Wednesday's series finale against St. Louis, the 28-year-old right-handed slugger started at first in four straight games and went 6-for-16 with three doubles, two RBI, and two runs. Vaughn's fantasy upside is limited by the fact that he's on the short side of a platoon at first base with the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers, who is also hitting well this year. But you can't argue with Vaughn's numbers since coming to the Brewers in a trade last year, as he also hit .308 (68-for-221) with nine homers and 46 RBI in 64 regular-season games in the second half of 2025. He's rostered in just 29% of Yahoo leagues.
