Report: Padres' Randy Vasquez could be odd man out on playoff roster | Sporting News With the MLB regular season winding down, could San Diego Padres pitcher Randy Vasquez be left off the playoff roster?
SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Drawing another start Vasquez is slated to start Thursday's game against the Rockies at Petco Park.
Impact The Padres returned Michael King from the injured list earlier this week, but with Nestor Cortes (biceps) still stuck on the shelf, Vasquez will get at least one more turn through the rotation. After being recalled from Triple-A El Paso last weekend, Vasquez delivered a quality start in the Padres' win over the Rockies at Coors Field, giving up three runs (two earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out three over six innings. He'll take a 3.91 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into Thursday's rematch with the Rockies in San Diego.

Earns win with quality start Vasquez (4-6) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Impact Vasquez was back in the majors for the first time in three weeks and delivered a steady outing, throwing 60 of 77 pitches for strikes. The Rockies picked up two runs in the second inning and Hunter Goodman tagged Vasquez for a solo shot in the sixth, but the right-hander received plenty of run support. He's now at a 3.91 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 62:49 K:BB through 117.1 innings over 24 appearances (23 starts) this season. The Padres' rotation has been in flux lately, with Nestor Cortes (biceps) going on the injured list, Michael King (knee) nearing a return and JP Sears sent down in late August. If Vasquez gets another turn in the rotation, it's projected to be in a rematch with the Rockies in San Diego next week.

Tatís homers, Padres beat Rockies 10-8 to end 5-game skid

Fernando Tatís Jr. hit a three-run homer to cap San Diego’s six-run second inning, and the Padres held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 10-8 to end a five-game skid
SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press
Promoted ahead of start The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso ahead of his start Saturday versus the Rockies.
Impact The right-hander will join the Padres' rotation to fill the void left by Nestor Cortes' (biceps) move to the injured list Friday. Vasquez will have the benefit of facing one of the worst offenses in baseball during his return to the majors, against whom he gave up two earned runs over six innings while striking out five batters back on May 9. Sean Reynolds was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.

Slated for start Saturday Vasquez said Friday he'll be recalled from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Vasquez will fill the gap in the Padres' rotation Saturday, marking his first big-league action since Aug. 15. The 26-year-old has a 3.96 ERA and a 59:49 K:BB in 111.1 innings spanning 23 appearances with the Padres this season. While he'll have to navigate pitching in Coors Field, Vasquez will have the advantage of facing a weak Rockies offense. With Michael King (knee) on the mend, Vasquez likely won't stick around in the Padres' rotation.

The 26-year-old has a 3.96 ERA and a 59:49 K:BB in 111.1 innings spanning 23 appearances with the Padres this season. Per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Nestor Cortes (biceps) is headed to the 15-day injured list, which means Vasquez could stick in the rotation even after Michael King (knee) is activated, likely at some point during the upcoming week.

Padres pregame: Ron Marinaccio up to boost bullpen, Freddy Fermin back in lineup Padres option out Randy Vasquez a day after bulk relief work, giving the Padres a nine-man bullpen until they need a fifth starter again
AUGUST 16, 2025 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM
Sent back to Triple-A The Padres optioned Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
Impact Vasquez was recalled from El Paso on Thursday and worked 3.2 innings in bulk relief against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits with four strikeouts while taking the loss. The Padres have elected to return him to the minors one day later in order to make room on the 26-man roster for reliever Ron Marinaccio. Though Vasquez has pitched to an uninspiring 3.96 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 111.1 big-league frames on the campaign, there's a good chance he'll be back up with San Diego at some point before the end of the season, especially if additional injuries hit the rotation. Michael King is already on the IL due to left knee inflammation, and it's unclear who will slide into his starting role now that Vasquez is in El Paso.
AUGUST 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Takes loss in bulk-relief outing Vasquez (3-6) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.
Impact Vasquez worked behind an opener in this tough matchup. It mostly worked well, aside from the Dodgers collecting a pair of runs in the third inning, which was enough to stick the right-hander with the loss. Vasquez had started his first 22 appearances of the year with middling results. He's now at a 3.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 59:49 K:BB over 111.1 innings. Michael King (knee) is back on the injured list, so it's likely Vasquez will get another turn or two through the rotation, though it remains to be seen if those outings will be as a traditional starter or as a bulk reliever. He's tentatively lined up for a home appearance versus the Giants next week.

Dodgers Tie Padres Atop NL West After Holding On In First Game of Series

Dodgers Tie Padres Atop NL West After Holding On In First Game of Series
Set to pitch Friday for Padres The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Padres added Michael King to the 15-day injured list due to left knee inflammation, so the Padres recalled Vasquez in a corresponding move. Vasquez will either start Friday or serve as the primary pitcher behind an opener. He made one start for Triple-A El Paso on Aug. 10 after he was optioned Aug. 3, but he gave up five runs across three innings of work.

Nestor Cortes arrives, Randy Vásquez to be optioned Cortes, acquired from the Brewers at the trade deadline, is expected to make his Padres debut Wednesday against the Diamondbacks
AUGUST 3, 2025 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM
Optioned to minors The Padres optioned Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
Impact The 26-year-old righty took the loss Saturday against St. Louis after giving up five runs over four innings, and he'll lose his rotation spot with Nestor Cortes (elbow) coming off the injured list. Vasquez has been a decent back-end starter for San Diego this year with a 3.93 ERA, though his 1.39 WHIP and 55:48 K:BB have resulted in limited fantasy utility. He seems likely to be back with the Padres before the end of the season, whether it be as a starter or reliever.
AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Gives up five runs in loss Vasquez (3-5) was charged with the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday after surrendering five runs on eight hits and no walks across four innings. He struck out three.
Impact The right-hander was staked a 4-0 lead after three innings, but he allowed five runs across the fourth and fifth frames before being pulled. The performance ended a run of four straight starts allowing two runs or fewer, though Vasquez hasn't lasted five innings since July 4 and is without a victory in his past 13 outings. The right-hander's next start lines up for next weekend versus Boston, though he could be replaced in the rotation by Nestor Cortes (elbow).
