According to a tweet from ESPN's Kiley McDaniel, the Pittsburgh Pirates reportedly have an agreement with right-hander Vince Velasquez. McDaniel tweeted the following on Tuesday: "Source: Free agent RHP Vince Velasquez has an agreement on a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates." Velasquez appeared in 27 games for the Chicago White Sox last season, nine of which were starts. He pitched to a 4.78 ERA and a 4.25 FIP in 75.1 innings of work for the American League Central franchise while logging 69 strikeouts compared to just 25 walks. The veteran also registered a hold while pitching out of the bullpen.

The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Vince Velasquez (groin) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a left groin strain. The move is retroactive to May 31. Velasquez was scheduled to start the series opener on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays, but that assignment will now go to Davis Martin, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Once Velasquez returns from the injured list, there's a good chance he'll be in a relief role. The 29-year-old right-hander has been inconsistent in eight outings (seven starts) for the White Sox, allowing 21 earned runs on 36 hits while striking out 33 and walking 14 in 35 2/3 innings. Martin, 25, performed well in his first major league start on May 17, giving up one run while fanning seven and walking one in five innings against the Kansas City Royals.

Free-agent right-hander Vince Velasquez agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the situation. Not much went right for Velasquez in 2021, as he had a 6.30 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 101 strikeouts and 49 walks in 94 1/3 innings over 25 appearances (21 starts) for the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres. The 29-year-old wasn't much better in the shortened 2020 season, when he had a 5.56 ERA in nine outings (seven starts) over 34 innings for the Phillies. In seven major league seasons, Velasquez has a 4.95 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 9.9 K/9 in 651 innings. He shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar right now.
