Homers Wednesday
Vazquez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox. Making his second start of the season, Vazquez extended Houston's lead to 6-4 with a homer off Danny Coulombe to lead off the seventh inning, his first long ball this year. Vasquez is now 2-for-7 to open the campaign after slashing .189/.271/.274 with three homers and 14 RBI across 214 plate appearances with the Twins in 2025.
Contract selected
The Astros selected Vazquez's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday. Vazquez will open the season as the Astros' backup catcher behind starter Yainer Diaz. He's hit only .215/.267/.311 the past three seasons in the majors but remains a capable defensive backstop.
