Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sent to Triple-A
Randy Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.Vasquez had arguably his best start of the season Saturday in Arizona, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out four over six scoreless innings. He'll presumably compete for a rotation spot next spring, but it's not clear if he'll have a role on the San Diego Padres' postseason roster. Matt Waldron was recalled in a corresponding move.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Dazzles in spot start
Randy Vasquez allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.Vasquez didn't come away with a win since it took until the ninth inning for the San Diego Padres' offense to wake up. It was still an impressive outing for the right-hander, who was in the majors for the first time since Sept. 1. He concludes the regular season with a 4.87 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 62:29 K:BB over 98 innings across 20 starts this season. Despite the strong outing, Vasquez is unlikely to make the Padres' wild-card roster, and he could be optioned out Sunday for a fresh bullpen arm.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Promoted for start
The San Diego Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday ahead of his start versus Arizona.Vasquez allowed nine earned runs over 4.1 innings during his last MLB start Aug. 31 and turned in a 7.20 ERA over 15 frames to finish the season in Triple-A, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to get San Diego through its penultimate regular-season game Saturday. On top of his poor performance, the 25-year-old will match up against a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an .818 OPS since the start of September, making him a rather unappealing streaming option. Alek Jacob was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sent to Triple-A
The San Diego Padres optioned Randy Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.The right-hander was tagged for nine runs Saturday against the Rays and won't retain his spot on the big-league roster. Vasquez has a 5.18 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB across 92 innings this season, and it's unclear if he'll receive another look in the rotation for San Diego this season, as Yu Darvish (elbow) is nearing a return from the injured list.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Replacing Waldron in rotation
The San Diego Padres will recall Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Monday's game in St. Louis, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.After a two-week stint in the minors, the 25-year-old will rejoin the big-league rotation as a replacement for the struggling Matt Waldron, who was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Before his demotion, Vasquez had settled in nicely as a serviceable back-end rotation arm for San Diego, going 2-2 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over his last eight starts spanning 39 innings. Many of Vasquez's advanced metrics (5.06 SIERA, 7.4 K-BB%) over that eight-start stretch were far less impressive, so fantasy managers should have some level of skepticism of him being able to maintain a sub-4.00 ERA in his subsequent outings with the Padres.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sent down to Triple-A
The San Diego Padres optioned Randy Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Vasquez started Thursday's game against the Pirates, and although he's been a decent arm in the back end of the Padres' rotation, he'll exit the 26-man roster to give the team additional bullpen help in the form of Jhony Brito. Even if San Diego didn't require another bullpen arm, Vasquez was at risk of losing his starting spot due to Joe Musgrove (elbow) returning next week.

Padres' Randy Vasquez: Stumbles in sixth inning
Randy Vasquez did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Pirates. He struck out three.Vasquez cruised through five frames, holding the Pirates off the board while entering the sixth with a four-run lead. However, things unraveled as he faced the top of the Pirates' lineup for a third time, allowing four hits to the first five batters in the inning prior to being pulled. Three of those baserunners went on to score, and Vasquez was eventually left with a no-decision. It was the sixth time in his last eight starts Vasquez has tossed at least five innings while allowing three runs or fewer, posting a 3.42 ERA over 39 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 4.63 ERA and 1.51 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled to take place against these same Pirates when they make the return trip to San Diego.
