CLEVELAND — On Saturday, deadline pickup Christian Vázquez made his second start for the Astros since he was traded by the Red Sox on Monday.
Vázquez first started behind the plate for the Astros on Wednesday against his former team, catching José Urquidy in the Astros’ 6-1 win over the Red Sox at Minute Maid Park. On Saturday, he caught Luis Garcia’s start against the Guardians at Progressive Field. According to Astros bench coach Joe Espada, it is part of manager Dusty Baker’s plan to acclimate Vázquez to Houston’s entire starting pitching rotation. Martín Maldonado will remain the club’s everyday catcher for the foreseeable future.
“ really wants to get Christian a look and he wants to get him in there with all our starters just to see, just to gauge where he's at,” Espada said. “You never know moving forward. Anything happens to Machete , we need to have Christian ready to go. So the plan right now is to get him in there against all our starters and then go from there.”
