WILL WAGNER NEWS

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.

Optioned to minors Wagner was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact Wagner was dealt from the Blue Jays to the Padres on Thursday but is currently blocked by both Ryan O'Hearn and Gavin Sheets. That leaves him without a spot on the roster, though that could change prior to the close of the regular season. Across 132 plate appearances with Toronto, Wagner hit .237/.336/.298.

Heading to San Diego Wagner was traded from the Blue Jays to the Padres on Thursday in exchange for Brandon Valenzuela.

Sitting after four straight starts Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, Wagner will hit the bench Sunday. The 26-year-old utility player has a clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching through the All-Star break, and Wagner had started five of the past six games. Andres Gimenez (ankle) landing on the injured list Sunday will create even more opportunities on the infield, although Davis Schneider and Leo Jimenez will also be in the mix at the keystone.

Sitting after four straight starts Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Wagner will hit the bench Sunday, but the 26-year-old utility player should have a fairly clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching through the All-Star break. Wagner had started in each of the last four games and five of the past six games, and Andres Gimenez's (ankle) move to the injured list Sunday will now open up an everyday role in the infield.

Recalled by Toronto The Blue Jays recalled Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact Wagner made Toronto's Opening Day roster but was optioned to Triple-A in late April after Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returned from the 10-day injured list. Wagner spent nearly a month on Buffalo's 7-day IL due to a foot injury but has gone 11-for-41 (.268) with one steal, four doubles, one home run and six RBI since being reinstated from the IL in mid-June. The Blue Jays optioned Alan Roden to Buffalo in a corresponding move.
