Andrew Vasquez took a circuitous route to the Phillies roster, in a journey that began last year on August 2nd when he was selected off waivers from the Blue Jays.  He'd appear in four games for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, before his spot on the 40-man roster was needed when Sam Coonrod was activated from the 60-day Injured List.  Back on waivers, the Giants claimed Vasquez on August 17, 2022, and he'd appear in one game with the club on October 5th.  The Phillies would claim him off waivers, for the second time in a year, on November 9th.

Vasquez had a strong showing in spring training, making the club as a long reliever.  Used mainly in low leverage situations so far in 2023, he's done very well, earning a 1.33 ERA in 20 1/3 innings pitched through Friday night.  His next mainstream baseball card will also be his first, as Vasquez has only appeared in minor league team sets to date.  It's players like Vasquez that are the reason these Chachi custom cards exist in the first place.  His time with the Phillies shouldn't go unrecognized, and at least he's now got this virtual Chachi Phillies baseball card to call his own.  I'm sure he's excited.
