Later, Vaughn, a natural first baseman, played a few innings at third base on July 1 against the Minnesota Twins. And he started at second base for the first time last week against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
“It was just go out in early work and take a couple ground balls and feel comfortable out there and just go out and be a baseball player and have fun with it, do anything I can to help the team win,” Vaughn said of preparing to play second.
Late in the July 29 game, he combined with shortstop Danny Mendick for a nifty double play on a Cam Gallagher grounder near the bag.
