Out with broken thumb
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Vazquez has been diagnosed with a broken right thumb, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis
An X-ray confirmed the thumb fracture, which Vazquez suffered when he was hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Nationals. Vazquez also required stitches to seal a wound on his hand. A timeline for Vazquez's return will likely depend on whether or not he requires surgery, but regardless, the thumb injury removes the 26-year-old from consideration for a reserve infield role on the Orioles' Opening Day roster. Vazquez is expected to open the season on Triple-A Norfolk's injured list.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vazquez made his MLB debut late in the 2024 season. He appeared in 11 contests for the Cubs and tallied just one hit in 12 at-bats. There's not much that can be gleaned from such a small sample, and the 25-year-old was more productive in a longer stretch of games with Triple-A Omaha. At that level, Vazquez slashed .263/.347/.432 with eight home runs, 24 RBI and 33 runs scored across 64 contests. The shortstop didn't run much, and that's never really been a part of his game during his time in the minors. Vazquez looks like organizational depth heading into 2025 with Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner entrenched up the middle in Chicago. Vazquez may get a call up at some point, but he's not really on the radar for fantasy purposes.
