MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: As a result of Domingo Germán’s 10-game suspension handed down after he was ejected following a foreign substance check, the Yankees find themselves light a man in the starting rotation, with the rules prohibiting them from replacing their suspended starter on the active roster. Therefore, the team has announced it is calling up Randy Vásquez and handing him his MLB debut tonight against the Padres.

He joins Jhony Brito as the second starting pitching prospect to debut for the Yankees this season. He throws a mid-80s breaking ball with elite spin as his best weapon, backed up by a mid-90s fastball, cutter, and changeup.
