Christian Vázquez: Breaking News
Sitting Saturday
Vazquez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. Vazquez will get a day off Saturday after going 2-for-4 with a homer and an additional RBI during Friday's win. Cesar Salazar will replace him behind the dish and bat ninth.
Heading to bench Sunday
Vazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. Cesar Salazar will handle catching duties in the series finale while Vazquez rests. Vazquez is expected to see the bulk of the playing time behind the plate while Yainer Diaz (oblique) remains on the shelf, but the former will typically bat near the bottom of the Houston lineup and likely won't carry much fantasy intrigue outside of deeper two-catcher mixed leagues or AL-only leagues.
