2026 Fantasy Outlook
Vasquez broke camp in the rotation and remained in the majors aside from a couple of short late-season stints with Triple-A El Paso, starting 26 of 28 outings and setting a new career high with 133.2 innings. His 3.84 ERA finished more than a run lower than both his 5.51 xFIP and 5.43 SIERA, while his 4.6 percent K-BB% ranked third-lowest among pitchers with at least 130 innings. A low .261 BABIP and a high 77.4 percent left on base rate helped keep his ERA in check. Vasquez throws six pitches, with the sweeper generating the most swinging strikes, but he relied more heavily on his less effective four-seamer, sinker, and cutter. Without a change in pitch usage, he remains a candidate for notable ERA regression and elevated fantasy risk. Read Past Outlooks

First adversity of season

April 15, 2026
Vasquez allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over four innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Mariners.
Analysis
Vasquez hadn't allowed more than a single run in any of his first three starts, but the Mariners got to him early Wednesday. Dominic Canzone hit a two-run double in the second inning and Brendan Donovan added a two-run single in the fourth. This was an inefficient showing for Vasquez, who threw just 45 of 85 pitches for strikes. Even with the shaky work in this outing, he's at a 2.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings through his first four outings this year. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start at Colorado.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Vasquez came to the Padres from the Yankees as part of the Juan Soto trade last offseason, and he ended up bouncing between the minors and majors in his first year with San Diego, logging 98.0 big-league innings and 41.2 Triple-A frames. The right-hander did an adequate job at limiting walks (6.7 BB%) and tossed six quality starts among his 20 outings, but his overall numbers (4.87 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 62:29 K:BB) were below average. Vasquez's fastball sits at 94-95 mph -- good enough for success in the majors -- but he posted a meager 18.9% whiff rate during his time with the Padres and an even more paltry 14.4% strikeout rate (the latter number ranked in the first percentile leaguewide). Joe Musgrove is recovering from Tommy John surgery and may not pitch at all next season, which gives Vasquez a clearer path to a rotation spot, but his profile isn't one of a desirable fantasy starter.
A major beneficiary of an offseason trade that sent Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to New York, Vasquez goes from being a long reliever with the Yankees to a strong rotation candidate with the Padres. This is partially due to the Padres' shallow starting pitching depth chart, but there's reason beyond that to give Vasquez an opportunity as a big-league starter. He sits at 94-95 mph with his fastball and threw his cutter, slider, changeup and curveball over 10 percent of the time in the majors last season, so it's a full starter's pitch mix. Vasquez is a 6-foot righty, so he doesn't get much extension on his pitches, but he has comfortably logged over 100 innings in three straight seasons. His curveball is his top offspeed pitch, but his 17.9 Whiff% was well below average, so it's hard to argue Vasquez has a high ceiling. Still, there's a chance he emerges as a solid home streamer in 15-team and deeper formats as long as he wins a rotation spot this spring.
