Padres Put 2 Players on IL as Rotation Posts 5.27 ERA Over Past Month

Summary
San Diego placed starter Randy Vásquez on the 15-day injured list with a bruised right ankle and catcher Freddy Fermin on the 10-day IL with a head bruise.
Luis Campusano will be reinstated from a two-month absence caused by a toe fracture, while reliever Alek Jacob was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to fill the roster spots.
Vásquez leaves a rotation already under strain: the Padres have lost six straight, fallen to .500 and sit 3.5 games out of a Wild Card spot.
That staff has allowed the sixth-most runs in MLB over the past month, with starters posting a 5.27 ERA and the third-fewest innings; Germán Márquez is expected to take Vásquez's turn.
