Brings home two runs Vazquez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over Toronto.

Impact Vazquez put Minnesota on the board with a fielder's choice RBI in the second, and he gave the Twins the lead in the fourth with a solo homer off Bowden Francis. It was Vazquez's second home run of the season, and the veteran is slashing .210/.279/.330 with six doubles and nine RBI across 111 plate appearances while serving as the backup catcher to Ryan Jeffers.

Back on bench Monday Vazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Due in large part to injuries decimating the Twins' depth in recent days, Vazquez had started at catcher in each of the last three games, while top backstop Ryan Jeffers served as the team's designated hitter in all of those contests. However, with Harrison Bader returning from a groin injury Saturday and with Willi Castro (knee) back in the lineup Monday after a two-game absence, Vazquez will retreat to the bench. Vazquez's playing time could be more sporadic moving forward while Jeffers likely sees most of his starts behind the dish and the Twins instead opting to rotate a number of players at the DH spot.

Pops first homer of 2025 Vazquez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Impact The veteran backstop took Dean Kremer deep in the fourth inning, giving Vazquez his first long ball of the year. He's added little offense in general to begin the campaign -- Vazquez's .193/.277/.316 slash line through 57 plate appearances has him on pace to record a sub-.600 OPS for the third straight year.

Heading for reduced role Manager Rocco Baldelli said Thursday that Ryan Jeffers will take on a larger role going forward, which will result in fewer starts for Vazquez, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic report...

Impact The catching duo has split playing time fairly evenly across the past two season, with Jeffers making 14 starts to Vazquez's 11 early in 2025. The Twins are changing their strategy behind the plate, however, with Vazquez's career .581 OPS with the club finally catching up to him. The veteran backstop still brings plenty of defensive value and is a good fit for a backup catcher, but it should be Jeffers that receives the lion's share of the starts from now on.

Breaks out of slump Vazquez went 2-for-3 with two doubles in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Vazquez entered the game hitting just .100/.152/.167 and was losing playing time, so this was a much needed performance. Manager Rocco Baldelli told the Minnesota Star Tribune Thursday that Ryan Jeffers will get more playing time with Vazquez's slow start.

Returns to lineup Vazquez (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth Saturday against Atlanta.

Impact Vazquez has been held out of action ever since suffering a hand injury during Monday's contest, but a few days of rest has him feeling well enough to return behind the dish Saturday. The 34-year-old backstop is off to a very poor start to the year, slashing .115/.172/.192 over his first 29 plate appearances.

Departs early with injury Vazquez exited Monday's game against the Mets after appearing to injure his right hand on a foul tip, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
