Will Wagner To See Time At First And Third Base
10 seconds agoToronto Blue Jays infielder Will Wagner (knee) is doing everything at camp and will see time at first and third base in spring training, according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. Wagner made his major-league debut with Toronto last year and went 25-for-82 (.305) with two home runs and 11 RBI in 24 games played. However, the 26-year-old second baseman was shut down in late September and required arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Proving that he can play first base and third base, in addition to the keystone, will only increase his chances of making the Opening Day roster. The former 18th-round pick by the Houston Astros in 2021 out of Liberty University makes consistent contact and barrels the ball up frequently, but he hasn't shown much power or speed, limiting his fantasy ceiling. The son of former closer Billy Wagner figures to be a utility infielder for Toronto to open the year.
