| Jun 28 2025 | Vasquez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Vasquez allowed three runs over the first two innings and exited with a 4-1 deficit before the Padres rallied for a comeback win. While the 26-year-old tossed seven frames in his previous start Sunday, he's failed to complete five innings in four of six June outings. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a troubling 48:39 K:BB across 84.1 innings into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend. |

| Jun 22 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |

| Jun 17 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 less in six of his last eight outings. Vasquez will look to continue that trend in his next start, tentatively projected to be at home this weekend versus the Royals. |

| Jun 11 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 innings in his last start. Overall, Vasquez is 3-4 with a 3.57 ERA with a 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. |

| Jun 6 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |

| Jun 1 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |

| May 26 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |

| May 21 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| May 14 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 in six appearances 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. |

| May 9 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Vasquez cruised Friday, fanning a season-high five and walking a season-low one. The right-hander is still working to improve his ratios from 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. |
|
| May 3 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
