Padres' Randy Vasquez: Quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Vasquez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.
The San Diego righty collected his fifth quality start of the season, as he looked sharp in this 89-pitch outing. Vasquez completed a career-high seven frames, going toe to toe with Kansas City starter Seth Lugo. The only blemish on Vasquez's day was a two-run homer conceded to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old will carry a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:37 K:BB through 80 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at Cincinnati next weekend.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Tagged for two homers
Rotowire
Vasquez allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Vasquez completed five frames for the first time in four starts in June. Despite his struggles with pitching deep into games, he's allowed a modest eight runs over 17.2 innings this month, though he's also been tagged for five home runs in that span after Andy Pages took him deep twice Tuesday. Overall, Vasquez has a 3.70 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 43:35 K:BB across 73 innings through 15 starts. Walks have been less of a problem lately -- he's issued one walk or zero in six of his last eight outings.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Dodgers
Rotowire
Vasquez did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing a run on two hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
While Vasquez only gave up two hits, one was a home run off the bat of Michael Conforto that ultimately forced the right-hander out of the game with two outs in the fifth inning. The Padres have had a tight leash on Vasquez -- he only threw 70 pitches Wednesday after delivering 4.2 scoreless frames in his last start. Overall, Vasquez is 3-4 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 41:35 K:BB across 14 starts (68 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a rematch with the Dodgers at home in his next outing.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Manages scoreless start Friday
Rotowire
Vasquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after giving up two hits and four walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.
Vasquez had worked three hitless innings to begin the outing, but his lack of efficiency prevented him from getting deeper into the game. Just 40 of his 78 pitches landed for strikes, and the 26-year-old right-hander failed to reach the fifth inning for the sixth time in 13 appearances this year. Vasquez's 3.69 ERA on the season remains respectable, but his 37:34 K:BB and 4.8 walks per nine innings over 63.1 frames remain major impediments to his fantasy appeal. He won't be a recommended streamer versus the Dodgers his next time out.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Short outing Sunday
Rotowire
Vasquez allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Sunday.
Vasquez had gone six starts without allowing more than three runs, but that streak ended Sunday. He gave up home runs to Andrew McCutchen and Adam Frazier, which accounted for three of the four runs on his line. The long ball has been an issue lately, as Vasquez has given up seven homers over his last five starts. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.99 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 35:30 K:BB over 58.2 innings across 12 starts, numbers that suggest he has gotten fairly lucky so far. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at Milwaukee.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Settles in after bumpy start
Rotowire
Vasquez allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Monday.
Vasquez allowed all three runs over the first two innings. After giving up a solo home run to Jesus Sanchez in the second, he allowed just one more baserunner, on a walk, for the remainder of the start. Vasquez hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last six starts, and he's gone four outings in a row without walking more than one batter after struggling with control early in the season. He's now at a 3.58 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 32:27 K:BB across 55.1 innings over 11 starts this year. The right-hander's next outing is projected to be a favorable home start versus the Pirates over the weekend.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Can't escape fifth inning in loss
Rotowire
Vasquez (3-4) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
Although Vasquez produced just three whiffs, he continued to stabilize his ratios after being battered for six runs back on April 21 in Detroit. The 26-year-old right-hander now has a 3.49 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 49 innings in 2025, and he's posted an improved 14:2 K:BB across his past three outings after logging a ghastly 13:24 K:BB over his first seven starts of the year. Yu Darvish (elbow) appears to be nearing a return and is a threat to take Vasquez's place in San Diego's rotation, but the latter remains tentatively lined up to take the hill versus the Marlins next week.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Six strong innings in third win
Rotowire
Vasquez (3-3) earned the win Wednesday against the Angels after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.
Vasquez tied a season high in punchouts, and he now owns a 10:2 K:BB in his last two starts after posting a disastrous 13:24 K:BB in his first seven outings of the year. The right-hander has also tossed at least five frames while conceding two runs or fewer six times through nine starts on the campaign. With Yu Darvish (elbow) going on a rehab assignment, it's unclear if Vasquez will hold onto a rotation spot once the former returns. That said, Vasquez will bring a 3.45 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 44.1 innings into his next scheduled start against a hot Blue Jays offense.
Vasquez (2-3) earned the win Friday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.
Vasquez cruised Friday, fanning a season-high five and walking a season-low one. The right-hander is still working to improve his ratios after his April 21 start, when he yielded a season-worst six runs in just two innings in Detroit, but he's fired at least five innings while giving up two runs or fewer in five of his other seven outings this year. While Vasquez holds a respectable 3.76 ERA through 38.1 innings, his 1.59 WHIP and 18:25 K:BB are highly alarming. He should still have some deep-league streaming appeal in his next scheduled appearance versus the Angels, who rank last in on-base percentage (.276) through 36 games.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Limits damage to one run
Rotowire
Vasquez didn't factor into the decision against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and five walks while striking out three over five innings.
It wasn't exactly smooth sailing for Vasquez, who allowed at least two baserunners in four of his five innings pitched, but he limited the damage to an RBI single from Oneil Cruz in the second frame. Vasquez has yielded one earned run or less in four of his seven starts this season, but he's also issued a league-leading 24 walks over 32.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Rockies on the road next weekend.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Suffers second straight loss
Rotowire
Vasquez (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out just one in 4.2 innings.
Vasquez retired the Rays in order through the first two innings, but Taylor Walls opened up the scoring in the third with a solo blast, the first home run Vasquez has allowed all season. Two more runs were scored against him before he exited, largely in part due to the excellent baserunning by Chandler Simpson. Vasquez has managed to get by with a 4.28 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 10:19 K:BB in 27.1 innings thus far and has a chance to be a stream start against the Pirates in his upcoming outing this weekend.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Shellacked in Detroit
Rotowire
Vasquez (1-2) took the loss Monday against Detroit, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over two innings with one strikeout.
The San Diego right-hander had to be lifted in the third without making an out in the inning after just 68 pitches. Reliever Logan Gillaspie then did Vasquez no favors, as Gillaspie allowed two inherited runners to score. Vasquez entered this contest with a sterling 1.74 ERA and exited with a much more ordinary 3.97 mark. He looks to bounce back in his next scheduled start against the Rays at home this weekend.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sharp in no-decision Tuesday
Rotowire
Vasquez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander blanked the Cubbies for five frames before running out of gas in the sixth, as he gave up back-to-back singles to Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner before getting the hook, with Adrian Morejon then letting one of the inherited runners cross the plate. Vasquez left the mound after 80 pitches (51 strikes), and while his 8:14 K:BB through 20.2 innings is worrisome, he'll carry a 1.74 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Detroit.
Vasquez (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Athletics, allowing one run on one hit and three walks over five innings. He struck out one.
Vasquez wasn't overpowering Wednesday, but he was able to hold the A's to a lone second-inning run, which would prove to be enough to earn the win in a 2-1 San Diego victory. Command has been an issue for Vasquez early in the year -- he's now issued 12 walks through his first 15.2 innings. However, the right-hander has pitched to a 1.72 ERA while holding down the fifth spot in the Padres' rotation.
Vasquez (0-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Vasquez walked in a run in the first inning and couldn't make it out of the fifth after allowing two more runs in the frame. The 26-year-old struggled with his command, finding the zone on just 44 of 82 pitches and generating only four swinging strikes. He'll take a 1.69 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 5:9 K:BB through 10.2 innings into a road matchup with the Athletics next week.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Logs quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Vasquez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 1-0 win over Atlanta. He allowed four walks and four hits while striking out three across six scoreless innings.
Although he wasn't as effective as counterpart Spencer Schwellenbach, Vasquez was able to induce double plays in the first and fourth inning and got out of another sticky situation in the sixth to keep Atlanta off the board. Vasquez was able to beat out Stephen Kolek for the final spot in the Padres' rotation in spring training, and the former's performance Saturday has validated that decision for the time being. Vasquez's next start is tentatively slated for next weekend against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
