Yankees to Call Up Top Pitching Prospect for Spot Start Amid Rotation Woes

Randy Vasquez, the Yankees' No. 9 prospect, will make his MLB debut Friday against the Padres.
Vasquez may start or pitch in relief as the Yankees deal with injuries and a suspension in their rotation.
Vasquez had mixed results at Triple-A this season but improved in his last five starts.
The 24-year-old righty signed with the Yankees in 2018 and was chosen to start because he's already on the 40-man roster.
Luis Severino and Gerrit Cole will start Saturday and Sunday before Domingo German returns from suspension Monday.
