In 3 appearances in the majors that season, he gave up 3 runs in 3 innings. He again spent most of 2024 in the minors, making just 4 appearances in the Show. He allowed 7 runs in 5 1/3 innings for an ERA of 11.81, and his first career decision was a 6-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on September 7th.

While he was born in Cuba, he arrived to the U.S. with his family at age 6 and grew up in Florida, where his favorite player was Jose Fernandez, His older brother is also named Victor. He is a trained barber, and his services became so popular among teammates with the AA Rocket City Trash Pandas in 2024 that the team's clubhouse manager purchased a used barber chair for him and installed it in the clubhouse so he could dispense his services more comfortably.
