Vince Velasquez

Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez allowed three earned runs on two his and three walks while striking out three in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Velasquez has a 4.70 ERA this Spring after pitching to a 4.91 ERA last season. He has the inside track on a spot in the Philadelphia starting rotation, but that has more to do with their lack of internal options than his recent performance.

Vince Velasquez allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

Velasquez has pitched to very mixed results this season and has not been pitching deep into games. He does have 121 strikeouts over 108 2/3 innings, but his 4.89 ERA shows how inconsistent he has been. He is currently scheduled to get another start this week when he takes on the Indians in Cleveland.

Phillies starter Vince Velasquez allowed four earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Velasquez has not been able to go longer than 5 1/3 innings in more than a month and will now take a 4.95 ERA into his next start against the Red Sox at home.

Phillies starter Vince Velasquez allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out five over three innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Velasquez was at 67 pitches after three innings, and Phillies manager Gabe Kapler apparently didn't like what he saw and decided to ride a fresh bullpen for the rest of the game. It turned out to be the right decision as the Phillies went on to win 6-2.

Phillies starter Vince Velasquez allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Velasquez bounced back on Wednesday after allowing seven earned runs in a no-decision against the Marlins in his last start. He now has 103 strikeouts over 96 1/3 innings this season, but those strikeouts come with a 4.86 ERA and the occasional implosion. His next start is scheduled to come against the Reds in Cincinnati.
