Chicago White Sox slugger Andrew Vaughn recovering from hip pointer
MESA, Ariz. -- Andrew Vaughn feared the worst when he got hurt making a diving catch for the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Same for his team, which is looking for the slugger to play a key role this year.
They're all feeling much better now.
Vaughn was diagnosed with a hip pointer, and he could return to game action in one to two weeks. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 amateur draft ditched his crutches Tuesday and took some swings Wednesday.
"As soon as I dove, I landed on my hip," Vaughn said. "Thought I was fine. Got up, wiggled around a little bit. Took that first step and it kind of gave out. My mind went to the worst thought. I'm up walking and I feel pretty good now."
