Randy Vasquez's first win lifts Yanks to DH split vs. White Sox Randy Vasquez allowed two hits in 5 2/3 innings for his first career win as the host New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 3-0 to gain...
Added as 27th man The Yankees promoted Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to start Game 2 of its doubleheader with the White Sox.
Impact Vasquez has made one other start for the Yankees this season -- a 4.2-inning performance against the Padres in which he allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six. He holds a 5.13 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in Triple-A this season and will almost certainly return to the minors immediately after Thursday's game.

CWS @ NYY postponed Vasquez will start the second half of Thursday's doubleheader versus the White Sox after Wednesday's game was postponed due to smoke in the Bronx.
Impact Vasquez had been scheduled for a call-up and spot start Wednesday night against White Sox, but wildfires in Canada have brought hazardous air to parts of the upper East Coast. The game will be made up as a twin-bill Thursday, with first pitch of the early tilt scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Domingo German will handle Game 1 for the Yankees and Vasquez is on tap to serve as the 27th man and starting pitcher in Game 2.

Likely to start Wednesday Vasquez is expected to start for the Yankees on Wednesday versus the White Sox in place of the injured Nestor Cortes (shoulder), Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact The Yanks don't have a starter listed for Wednesday yet, but Vasquez was spotted in the clubhouse Tuesday. He can't be promoted yet unless it's to replace an injured player, so the team figures to make an official IL move with Cortes prior to Wednesday's contest. Vasquez allowed two runs over 4.2 innings in his major-league debut against the Padres in late May.

Optioned to Triple-A Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Friday.
Impact Vasquez gave up two runs over 4.2 innings against the Padres on Friday with six strikeouts and three walks in his MLB debut. The 24-year-old will head back to Triple-A to remain a rotation option, and he could be an option to start games for the Yankees at some point this summer.

Handed loss in debut Vasquez (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Friday. He struck out six and took a loss against the Padres.
Impact Vasquez worked through four shutout frames before coughing up a two-run homer to Juan Soto in the fifth. The 24-year-old Vasquez primarily relied on a cutter/sinker combination while touching 96 mph on his fastball. He'll likely head back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he's registered a 4.85 ERA across 42.2 frames.

Officially promoted The Yankees recalled Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
Impact The 24-year-old righty will make his major-league debut while starting Friday's game against the Padres. He holds a 4.85 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 42.2 innings in the minors this season, but has demonstrated an ability to rack up strikeouts at a plus rate. That being said, he shouldn't be viewed as a reliable fantasy option to begin his MLB career. Aaron Hicks was released Friday in a corresponding move.

Yankees' Randy Vasquez makes his MLB debut: What you need to know about right-hander Yankees
MAY 26, 2023 • NJ.COM
In line for debut Friday Vasquez is likely to make his major-league debut for the Yankees on Friday versus the Padres, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Impact The Yankees don't have a starter listed for Friday, but Vasquez was spotted in the clubhouse so it's not difficult to connect the dots. Vasquez has posted a 4.85 ERA and 50:23 K:BB over 42.2 innings covering nine starts this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's a solid pitching prospect but wouldn't be an advisable streamer versus San Diego.

Reassigned to minor-league camp The Yankees optioned Vasquez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday and reassigned him to minor-league camp.
Impact Vasquez was added to the 40-man roster in November and is one of the organization's top pitching prospects, but he never had a chance of breaking camp with the big club given that he's yet to pitch beyond the Double-A level. The right-hander will open the season in the minors and will look to build upon a solid campaign at Double-A last year that included a 3.90 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 120:41 K:BB over 115.1 innings.
