I agree. Nothing against Vaughn's ability, but this is part of the risk when you're asking him to play RF.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

Vaughn, who was one of the candidates for consistent playing time in right field this season, sustained an injury making a diving catch on Hanser Alberto’s line drive to right-center with Will Smith on first and nobody out in the fourth inning of the March 27 9-0 victory over the Dodgers. He stood up after making the catch and twisted a few times before fist-bumping center fielder Luis Robert and then talking to him for a bit. Vaughn stretched his right leg as well, before bending over in pain and calling for the trainer. The 23-year-old left the field on a cart and will undergo further evaluation.
Apparently Burger left the game with left ankle discomfort as well.

Originally posted by Foulke You View PostSame here. I think many people tend to forget how good he was in 2020. It was a shortened season, but he finished 5th in Cy Young voting so it's not like he's many years removed from success. He's also never been a guy that relies on velocity to get hitters out. It also doesn't hurt that he will be playing for a contract in 2023 so he knows how important this season is for him individually as well as the team. It had to sting a bit for a veteran like him to be left off the playoff roster. He certainly had a brutal second half last year and that is fresh in everyone's mind so I get the skepticism. Keuchel was interviewed recently and mentioned nagging health issues last season threw his body and mechanics out of whack. If he is fully healthy and effective again, it adds a lot more length to our rotation. The 2020 results might not be realistic but something more along the lines of his 2018 and 2019 pitching lines would be more than acceptable and not unreasonable to think he can produce.
That said, there is risk based on his second half last year that he's completely toast, and if he starts the season the way he finished last year, what are they going to do? It would be nice if the Sox backup plan was better than Lopez and Vince Velazquez, especially because those guys are already going to be relied upon heavily out of the bullpen to fill in for Kopech's short starts due to his innings limit.

I was all set to post how this is a huge relief, but I don't think this giving any new information? It just says that "he will be further evaluated for hip discomfort", citing Fegan's post from last night (not long after the injury occurred). The headline is misleading... "hip discomfort" could be lots of things.

Agreed. Until the Sox say something official and that usually takes a few days, you still don't really know what may be going on.
