Randy Vásquez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting Saturday Vasquez will start Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Vasquez will be making his first start since returning from the injured list last weekend, but because he hasn't pitched more than three innings in a game since the beginning of July, he's more likely to act as an opener for JP Sears, who was originally in line to start Saturday's contest. Vasquez has been struggling heavily on the mound as of late, giving up 16 earned runs in just 13.1 frames across his last five appearances.

Works in bulk relief Sunday Vasquez was credited with a hold while striking out two and allowing three hits and no walks over three scoreless innings of relief in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Royals.

Impact After the Padres reinstated Vasquez from the 15-day injured list prior to Sunday's contest, the right-hander headed to the bullpen for the series finale in Kansas City in what marked just his second relief appearance in 18 outings on the season. The Padres essentially deployed Vasquez in tandem with starter German Marquez, who was lifted after tossing 59 pitches and allowing two earned runs over three innings. Beyond Michael King, the Padres have been unable to generate quality results from any of their rotation members this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if Vasquez's move to the bullpen ends up being short-lived. Even if he doesn't displace Marquez in the rotation the next time a fifth starter is needed Friday in Miami, Vasquez could still end up being used in a tandem arrangement with Marquez once again.

Reinstated from injured list San Diego reinstated Vasquez (ankle) from the 15-day IL on Sunday.

Impact Vasquez is back with San Diego after missing just 16 days with a bruised right ankle. In 17 games, the 27-year-old has recorded a 4.71 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 60:27 K:BB through 84 innings. The right-hander comes back to a Padres rotation that has been brutalized by injuries all season, with Lucas Giolito (elbow), Nick Pivetta (forearm), Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish (elbow) all out for extended periods. The Padres designated Ron Marinaccio for assignment in order to make room for Vasquez on the active roster.

Placed on injured list The Padres placed Vasquez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a bruised right ankle, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact After taking a comebacker off his ankle Thursday, Vasquez was hospitalized after fainting while on his way to get X-rays. He was discharged from the hospital Friday, and tests on his ankle came back negative, but the Padres will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the first half. Alek Jacob will come up from Triple-A El Paso to give the Padres extra bullpen depth while they sort out their rotation plans.

Impact Vasquez took a comebacker off the ankle during Thursday's start against the Dodgers. While on his way to get X-rays, he fainted and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Scans of Vasquez's ankle came back negative, and it seems whatever caused the fainting spell is not a long-term concern. Vasquez is tentatively lined up for two starts during the final week of the first half, but the Padres will monitor him in the coming days before determining whether he'll make his next start as scheduled.

Hurts ankle, then faints Vasquez fainted while being taken in for an evaluation on his ankle following his start versus the Dodgers on Thursday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vazquez finished with a no-decision in the contest after allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over three innings. He was struck on the ankle by a Mookie Betts comebacker in the first inning but remained in the contest; however, he was on his way to get an X-ray before fainting. According to Cassavell, the veteran hurler was taken to the emergency room as a precaution, though he is reportedly stable and conscious. Vasquez will presumably get tests done to try to determine what caused the fainting episode in addition to having imaging on the injured ankle. It's too early at this point to have an idea of how much time he'll need to miss, if any.
