2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wagner is a really good hitter. He hits the ball hard (50% hard-hit, per Statcast) and frequently (81.3 Contact% in the majors). Those skills alone could allow him to have a Yandy Diaz-esque career. However, like Diaz, Wagner struggles to consistently lift the ball in the air (53.0 GB%), and he won't provide any speed on the bases. The Blue Jays acquired famed closer Billy Wagner's son at the trade deadline along with Jake Bloss and Joey Loperfido in the deal that sent Yusei Kikuchi to Houston. The 26-year-old second baseman hit .400 with more walks than strikeouts in seven games at Triple-A after the trade and then got the call to the majors. A lefty hitter, Wagner could sit against a decent amount of lefties when the Jays are at full strength. His price is cheap due to the lack of speed or significant game power, but he should be a good source of batting average and there's still a chance he makes the necessary adjustments to access 20-homer power. Wagner had a knee scope at the end of the season but was expected to be ready for baseball activities by the end of October. Read Past Outlooks

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