Randy Vasquez Emerging as Must-Start Pitcher?
San Diego Padres right-hander Randy Vasquez continues to be lights-out to start the 2026 MLB season, as he pitched another gem against the Rockies on Thursday night, going 5 2/3 innings while allowing one earned run, seven hits, and striking out eight Rockies in his no-decision effort. On the season, he has now completed three starts (1-0) and pitched to the tune of a 1.02 ERA and 1.08 WHIP, with 19 strikeouts, and only four walks in 17 2/3 innings pitched (three games started). While there are some signs of regression under the hood (3.59 xERA), Vasquez is showing great improvement over his previous seasons and is becoming a must-add in all formats as he continues this hot stretch. Additionally, his next outing is against the Seattle Mariners, who rank last in MLB in batting average (.184), runs per game (3.1), and strikeout rate (27.6 percent), the fourth-worst in the league, making him a strong stream and add for next week.
