The Phillies claimed Vasquez off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays on August 02 and, on August 15, designated him for assignment. 

The twenty-eight-year-old left-handed pitcher spent only a couple weeks at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and clearly did not impress the Phillies organization enough to keep him around.

Vasquez comes to San Francisco, bringing with him a career 8.10 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 13 innings with the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
