White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Moves to 3B mid-game
Vaughn moved from left field to third base after Yoan Moncada (hand) was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the fourth inning.
Vaughn handled the assignment cleanly for four innings before he was replaced by Leury Garcia (undisclosed) in the eighth. Garcia had been scratched from the original starting lineup due to an undisclosed injury; that appears to be the reason why he wasn't brought in initially to replace Moncada. Instead Vaughn, a first baseman that's been converted to left field this season, played third base for the first time in the majors. The move appears to be a temporary one, as the fact Garcia felt well enough to enter the game suggests his undisclosed injury is not serious. In addition, the White Sox are considering calling up Jake Burger, a natural third baseman.
