Andrew Vaughn's trajectory has hit a snag, leading to his recent option to Triple-A Charlotte after a lackluster start to the 2025 season. The Chicago White Sox hope this move will allow Vaughn, who is hitting just .189 with five home runs this season, to refocus and rediscover his swing. Vaughn, a former No. 3 overall pick, has shown flashes of potential, but consistency has eluded him.

White Sox GM Chris Getz emphasized the importance of making physical adjustments, particularly in syncing Vaughn's upper and lower body mechanics. Manager Will Venable echoed this sentiment, noting that a reset could be beneficial. The Sox draw parallels to former teammate Jake Burger's successful stint at Triple-A as a positive example for Vaughn.
