White Sox Activate Andrew Vaughn, Place Lucas Giolito On IL

By Anthony Franco | May 13, 2022 at 2:58pm CDT

The White Sox announced they’ve reinstated first baseman/corner outfielder Andrew Vaughn from the injured list. In a corresponding move, ace Lucas Giolito was placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Vaughn hasn’t played since late April due to a hand injury. The team initially kept him on the active roster in hopes he’d avoid an IL stint altogether, but he required a bit more time than initially hoped. Chicago finally sent him to the IL on May 5 (retroactive to three days prior). He embarked upon a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte within a week, however, and he makes his return after two games with the Knights.

A former #3 overall pick, Vaughn has shown the kind of offensive promise the White Sox have dreamed on through the season’s first few weeks. He’s hitting .283/.367/.566 with four homers in 16 games after a roughly league average .235/.309/.396 showing as a rookie. The right-handed batter figures to rotate between first, DH and both corner outfield spots and assume a middle-of-the-order role while the team is without Eloy Jiménez.

Giolito’s IL placement seems to be precautionary. The team announced he’s been experiencing virus-like symptoms for the past couple days but is expected to return next week (via James Fegan of the Athletic). The right-hander has a 2.70 ERA in 26 2/3 innings over his first five starts; he made his most recent appearance on Tuesday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a win over the Guardians.

    We can’t catch a break. I also could have ended that sentence after catch.

    This team lacks so much heart Vaughn isn’t enough to help them.. giving up a 6 run lead to a team you are supposed to beat easily. I said the Sox better watch out for Cleveland this season if their starters are healthy, but who knew their supposedly inferior hitters would be hitting anything.. Especially for a ‘vaunted’ rotation and staff like the Sox… This is why it should surprise no one if the Sox have a long golf season after their baseball season ends.. This team really has no heart to speak of, and too many players bought their own hype before winning anything yet.. Combine that with Hahn’s insistence of going ‘all in’ with bargain basement prices for the rotation, 2nd base, and RF, and we have what we have..Remember, great teams (especially those ‘all in’ to win it all) can beat good, and great, teams, and do not look pathetic against them. The season is early, but so far all I’m seeing from this Sox is team is a repeat from what we saw last season…The pitching staff looking like they are throwing BP, and the hitters who cannot drive a guy in from scoring position. No heart, and cannot beat the good/great teams (or even look like they belong in the same ballpark).
    In the end Im hoping Im wrong, but it ain’t looking that way so far.

    Often injured players once again (like last year)

    Yes, every team has injuries but the White Sox have more than their fair share.

    Hopefully, Lynn and Eloy return soon and no one takes their place on the IL.
