Cubs infielder Luis Vázquez was new to the Wrigley Field clubhouse when he settled into his locker before the team’s game against the Braves on Tuesday. But he was no stranger.
As he addressed reporters Tuesday, he kept nodding to the teammates motioning to him from outside the scrum. When the interview wrapped up, he walked over to catch up with starting pitcher Javier Assad and catcher Miguel Amaya.
“For us, it means a lot to see him here, to bring his talent and support to the team,” Amaya, who overlapped with Vázquez in the minors, told the Sun-Times.
