Phils Add Outfielder (Not Named Harper)

2018 Topps Now Road
to Opening Day #OD-241
Outfielder Lane Adams became the 19th player on the team's list of non-roster invitees on Monday, and he'll join the Phillies next month in Clearwater.  Adams came up with the Royals in 2014, appearing in six games and more recently appeared in 111 games for the Braves in 2017 and 2018.  He's a career .263 hitter.

It looks as if his most recent mainstream baseball card can be found in the Braves' 2018 Topps Now Road to Opening Day team set, of which just 277 were produced.  His very first baseball card came way back in 2012 in the Bowman Chrome Prospects insert set.
