Ricky Vanasco's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Detroit Tigers acquired right-hander Ricky Vanasco from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. Vanasco has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo. The 25-year-old made his major-league debut this year with the Dodgers and allowed three earned runs on three hits while walking none and striking out one in two relief innings. The former 15th-round selection by the Texas Rangers in 2017 got his first big-league call-up after posting a 3.47 ERA, a 1.71 WHIP, five saves, 27 strikeouts and 21 walks in 23 1/3 relief innings on the farm at Triple-A Oklahoma City. In his six seasons in the minors, Vanasco has a 3.46 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 306 K's and 130 walks in 231 1/3 innings. He'll represent relief depth in the Tigers organization moving forward.
