Christian Vázquez: Breaking News

Homers in loss to St. Louis

Vazquez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals. Vazquez got the scoring started for the Astros, taking Kyle Leahy deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the third inning. Three solo homers were all the Astros were able to muster against Leahy. Vazquez has made seven starts this season and has at least one hit in all seven, as he's now slashing .400/.438/.733 with two home runs, 10 RBI, five runs scored and a 2:7 BB:K across 33 trips to the plate.

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.
