Will Wagner Recalled, Making MLB Debut On Monday
4 months agoThe Toronto Blue Jays selected the contract of infield prospect Will Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday and optioned infielder Luis De Los Santos to Buffalo in a corresponding move. Wagner, who came to Toronto in the trade that sent left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the Houston Astros at the end of July, is considered the Blue Jays' No. 21 prospect. The 26-year-old will make his big-league debut at second base and will hit sixth on Monday versus the hosting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Davis Daniel. The 5-foot-11, 210-pounder can play multiple infield positions and should at least see playing time against right-handed pitchers as he bats from the left side. In two Triple-A stops this year, Wagner has hit an impressive .315/.432/.444 with an .876 OPS, six homers, 43 RBI and 57 runs in 77 games. The son of Astros all-time saves leader Billy Wagner, could be worth a look in deep-mixed leagues to close out the year.
