The 24-year-old Vasquez, called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to the game, gave up two runs and struck out six in 4 ²/₃ innings.
When the Yankees traded away much of their minor league pitching depth at the deadline last year, it was reasonable to wonder who they’d be able to call up if they needed a replacement in the rotation this year.
The 24-year-old Vasquez, called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before the game, gave up two runs and struck out six in 4 ²/₃ innings and 84 pitches in aVasquez impressed the Yankees with his poise and stuff. . “In front of a Friday night crowd, against a pretty good lineup, his presence was good.” Especially for a player who had never been to a major league stadium before Thursday. “It’s not easy to come in here for the first time ever attending a big league game,’’ Mendoza said.
It’s the latest stop on a journey that began when Vasquez signed with the Yankees out of the Dominican Republic for just $10,000.Locked in a pitcher’s duel with San Diego’s Joe Musgrove, Vasquez retired the first two batters in the top of the fifth of a scoreless game. German is scheduled to return to the rotation Monday at Seattle, so the Yankees likely won’t need Vasquez again anytime soon and he was optioned back to SWB after the game.
