Hitless in first Astros start Vazquez went 0-for-4 Wednesday against the Red Sox. Impact Vazquez was in the lineup for the first time since being traded to Houston, hitting eighth while starting behind the dish. He should overtake Martin Maldonado for the starting role, though Maldonado is still likely to get regular playing time thanks to his defense. On the other hand, Vazquez upgrades the offensive quality at the position significantly, as he's maintained a .278/.322/.425 line across 323 plate appearances on the season.
