After the San Diego Padres lost left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes to injury, right-hander Randy Vasquez is back before facing the Colorado Rockies. The Padres will look to bounce back in their second matchup of a three-game series after a 3-0 loss on Friday. San Diego made the roster change ahead of Saturday’s game.

The Padres announced Vasquez was being recalled from Triple-A, per the team’s X, formerly Twitter.

“We have optioned RHP Sean Reynolds to Triple-A El Paso and recalled RHP Randy Vasquez from El Paso,” the Padres stated.

The Padres are 2-8 in their last 10 games, as their struggles from late August have crept into September. Vasquez last pitched in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 15.
