Vaughn was batting only .189, while Elko had only five hits in his first 32 plate appearances as a major-leaguer. The Sox won their first game without the two — a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday night at Rate Field.

Andrew Vaughn, a mainstay in the Chicago White Sox lineup since 2021, was sent to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday along with Tim Elko.

The White Sox have optioned Andrew Vaughn to Triple-A in an effort to get the struggling slugger on track. Outfielders Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) are also back from the IL.
