THUNDER BAY -- Former Thunder Bay Border Cat Jason Vosler has joined the MLB club.

The infielder, drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 16th round in 2014, on Saturday pinch hit for San Francisco Giants starter Kevin Gausman in the eighth inning, fouling out to third.

The 27-year-old, who hit .304 in spring training, played for the Cats in 2013, hitting .275 with seven home runs and 47 RBI.

Vosler spent the past two seasons in the San Diego Padres organization and signed with the Giants in the off-season and was added to the team's 40-man roster.

He's the eighth former Border Cat to reach the major leagues, a list that also includes Seth Frankhoff, Matt Mangini, Blaine Hardy, A.J. Schugel, Jonathan Diaz, Ryan Court and Wes Parsons.
