Yankees promoting Randy Vasquez for MLB debut vs. Padres

NEW YORK -- The Yankees are promoting righty Randy Vasquez, who will make his MLB debut on Friday with a start against the San Diego Padres.

"He did some good things in spring training -- good arm, good stuff," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday. "He's been pitching pretty well. He's had some games where he walked in guys, but is getting swing and miss too. He's the next guy up right now with an opportunity."

Vasquez, from the Dominican Republic, first signed with the Yankees in 2018 when he was 19 years old.
