Padres Name Joe Musgrove To Wild Card Roster Despite Not Pitching Since 2024
Delivers six strong frames Sunday Vasquez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over six innings in a 9-4 win over Arizona. He struck out two.
Impact Making his first start since Sept. 1, Vasquez was sharp and economical, allowing just one run in the sixth inning before departing at 68 pitches (54 strikes). Bouncing between the rotation and bullpen, the right-hander will end the regular season with a 10-6 record, 3.90 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB across 140.2 innings (32 appearances). If San Diego uses Vasquez in the postseason, it will likely be as a reliever.

Diamondbacks miss playoffs on season's final day, losing 9-4 to Padres after Phillies clinch

The Arizona Diamondbacks have missed the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons
SEPTEMBER 27 • Associated Press
Drawing start in finale Vasquez is slated to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact With their win Saturday, the Padres are locked in as the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs and will have little at stake in the regular-season finale. As such, the Padres will likely use Game 162 to rest multiple key position players and pitchers, which clears the way for Vasquez to pick up his first start since Sept. 1. Over 31 appearances (22 starts) on the campaign, Vasquez owns a 10-6 record, 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:37 K:BB across 134.2 innings.

Machado homers as Padres beat D-backs 10-7 to clinch home field in wild-card round vs Cubs

Manny Machado hit a three-run homer and the San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-7 to secure the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs
SEPTEMBER 27 • Associated Press
Heading back to bullpen Vasquez will be available out of the San Diego bullpen beginning Monday against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Vasquez has pitched especially well in his last three starts, going 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA and 0.66 WHIP over 12 innings, but with Nick Pivetta (forearm) ready to return to the Padres' rotation, Vasquez will transition to a relief role. Pivetta only stretched out to 64 pitches in his final rehab outing, so it may be a sort of piggyback situation with Vasquez in that rotation spot, at least initially.
SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Can't complete five frames in Cincy Vasquez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Reds, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
Impact The right-hander failed to complete five innings for the first time since July 30, tossing 50 of 69 pitches for strikes before being lifted from a 2-2 tie. Vasquez has allowed more than two runs just once in 10 appearances since the All-Star break, posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB over 43.2 innings while going 4-0, but despite that success he could be headed for the bullpen in September with both Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Nick Pivetta (forearm) closing in on their returns from the IL.

Blanks Pirates in win Vasquez (10-6) earned the win Wednesday over the Pirates, allowing just one hit and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out two.
Impact Vasquez was limited to just 68 pitches Wednesday, but he still managed to earn the win with another strong outing -- the righty has earned wins in four of his last five appearances while posting a 2.29 ERA over his last 35.1 frames. Vasquez's ERA is down to 4.02 this season with a 1.28 WHIP and 76:34 K:BB across 123 innings. He's currently in line to face the Reds on the road his next time out.

Picks up ninth win Vasquez (9-6) earned the win Friday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out three.
Impact The right-hander worked in bulk relief his previous time out, but he started Friday's contest and completed seven frames for the second time this season. Vasquez hasn't been tagged with a loss since late June, and in nine appearances (five starts) during that span he's gone 3-0 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB across 37 innings. Even when the 27-year-old is pitching well, the lack of strikeout potential and inconsistent role limit his fantasy upside.

Struggles in bulk relief Vasquez completed five relief innings against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters in a no-decision.
Impact Vasquez was the Padres' third pitcher, following Wandy Peralta (one inning) and Kyle Hart (one inning). Vasquez had pitched well as a traditional starter in his previous two appearances, giving up just two runs over 11 combined frames, so it's unclear why he was transitioned back to bulk relief Saturday. Regardless, that decision didn't work out, as the right-hander yielded two runs in the fifth inning and another two in the seventh. It remains to be seen how Vasquez will be deployed moving forward, but he logged a starter's workload of 90 pitches Saturday, so he'll presumably remain on his regular rest schedule, which puts him on track to next take the mound next weekend at home against Minnesota.

Guardians take home losing streak into matchup with the Padres

AUGUST 15 • Associated Press
Collects eighth win Vasquez (8-6) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win over the Astros on Sunday.
Impact Vasquez put just two runners on base, as he allowed a single to Taylor Trammell and a home run to Daulton Varsho in the second inning. Beyond that, it was another decent start for Vasquez, who has started his last two appearances. He's pitching to contact without getting burned for now -- he has just four strikeouts over his last 15.2 innings. On the year, he's maintained a 4.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 66:31 K:BB through 106 innings over 23 games (19 starts). Vasquez should get at least one more turn through the rotation while Nick Pivetta (forearm) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) work their way back. The next outing for Vasquez is projected to be on the road in Cleveland.

Starting Sunday Vasquez will start Sunday's matchup against the Astros on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Vasquez will be called upon to make his 19th start of the season for Sunday's series finale against Houston. The 27-year-old started Tuesday against Arizona, recording six scoreless innings while striking out one. On the campaign, the right-hander owns a 7-6 record, 4.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB through 101 innings.
