Lands on injured list The Padres placed Wagner (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Wagner will officially begin the regular season on the injured list due to the oblique strain he suffered toward the beginning of March. It's unknown how far away he is from returning, and when he does, there's a good chance he'll be sent down to Triple-A El Paso.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Out with strained oblique Wagner is dealing with an oblique strain and hasn't done any baseball activity since the beginning of March, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Per Acee, Wagner will "almost certainly" start the season on the injured list. The infielder had been slated to battle for a reserve role during spring training, but he got into only five games before getting hurt, going 0-for-9 with two walks and two strikeouts. Even if Wagner was healthy, his likelihood of making the Opening Day roster had been considered slim.

Rejoins Padres The Padres recalled Wagner from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Impact Wagner was sent to the Padres' facility in Arizona following Xander Bogaerts' return from the injured list Tuesday, but the former will now be brought back onto the big-league roster to replace Ramon Laureano (finger). Wagner has slashed .222/.319/.278 across 145 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Padres this season and will likely come off the bench most days while in San Diego.

Sent to ACL The Padres optioned Will Wagner to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.

Impact Wagner was optioned to create space on the active roster for Xander Bogaerts's (foot) reinstation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wagner was recalled Aug. 24 to fill in for Jackson Merrill, who had an ankle injury at the time. Since then, Wagner got just 13 plate appearances in the 13 games he played in and reached base twice.

Recalled as Merrill replacement The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact Acquired from the Blue Jays on July 31, Wagner was subsequently optioned to El Paso, where he slashed .270/.333/.405 with two home runs and one stolen base in 17 games. He's been recalled from Triple-A to replace Jackson Merrill (ankle) on the active roster, though Gavin Sheets is the likelier candidate to benefit from regular playing time while Merrill is on the shelf. Wagner, meanwhile, will bolster the Padres' infield depth but likely won't be in store for steady starts.
