Andrew Vaughn resumes batting practice after hand surgery

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn took batting practice on the field Friday for the first time since surgery on his left hand. The procedure on March 30 addressed a fractured hamate bone. Vaughn anticipates a minor league rehab assignment soon after a follow-up appointment Tuesday.

Several prominent Major League Baseball players, including Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday, have suffered broken hamate bones during the initial days of spring training.

The hamate bone, a small wrist structure vulnerable due to the mechanics of batting, has become a notable concern as training begins.
