Andrew Vaughn (1B/OF, CHW) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues

ANALYSIS: A popular late-round pick in drafts this spring, Andrew Vaughn's slow start left him languishing on many waiver wires. That trend has reversed this week, as his rostered rate has nearly doubled. Fantasy managers are back in thanks to the rookie finally breaking through with the first two home runs of his major league career. Those long balls have helped him to a .265/.372/.500 line over the past two weeks, with eight runs and eight RBI.

With Luis Robert out until September at the earliest, the inconsistent playing time that plagued Vaughn early in the year won't be an issue moving forward. The 23-year-old appears to be finding his form and can still be added freely in nearly two-thirds of Yahoo leagues.
