Randy Vasquez

Randy Vasquez allowed three earned runs on ten hits while striking out two over six innings in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not issuing any walks, Vasquez's inability to limit hits and suppress runs continues to mar his season, as evidenced by a ballooning 5.82 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP over his starts. Fantasy managers should view Vasquez as a risky play, primarily in deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups, given his current form and lack of win potential in his starts.

Randy Vasquez struggled mightily in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and one walk over just 3.2 innings, failing to record a strikeout.

This performance further inflates his already elevated ERA to 6.32 and WHIP to 1.79 for the season, signaling ongoing challenges in his pitching mechanics and control. His inability to strike out batters in this outing, combined with a high season BABIP of .382, suggests that hitters are consistently making solid contact against him. Fantasy managers should be wary of these red flags, particularly in leagues where ERA and WHIP heavily influence scoring.

The Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso.

Vasquez is expected to take the spot of Joe Musgrove in the Padres starting rotation after he was placed on the injured list. He should get at least a couple of starts before Musgrove returns.

The Padres optioned Randy Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso.

Fantasy Impact

Vasquez allowed four runs across 2 2/3 innings against the Rockies in his last start. He'll be ready to be called up again if another spot start is needed.

Randy Vasquez allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Vasquez's performance was less than stellar, failing to provide length or overpowering stuff in his 2024 debut. His FIP of 5.86 and a low strikeout rate of 5.4 K/9 suggest potential underlying issues that could trouble fantasy managers relying on him for strikeouts or dominant outings. Moving forward, Vasquez might be more of a situational play rather than a regular starter in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts.
