The Twins acquired Wagaman from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Kade Bragg.

EDGE Analysis

Wagaman had been designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new club. The 28-year-old slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs across 140 games for the Marlins this season and is capable of handling the corner infield and outfield spots. The right-handed-hitting Wagaman sported a .283/.321/.462 batting line against lefties in 2025, so much of his playing time in Minnesota could come versus southpaws.

Wagaman was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagaman is the roster casualty following the addition of Esteury Ruiz from the Dodgers. Wagaman slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs and four steals in 514 plate appearances for the Marlins in 2025. He has some intriguing offensive traits, including strong bat speed and solid swing decisions, but Wagaman's lack of notable power (.128 ISO) in his age-27 season while playing at the bottom of the defensive spectrum made him expendable.

Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing his seven-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-3 showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Wagaman will hit the bench Sunday. The 28-year-old should continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching during the final week of the season, though he may have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching after the Marlins recently welcomed back fellow infielders Connor Norby and Graham Pauley from the 10-day injured list.

Wagaman went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 5-0 win over the Nationals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday marked Wagaman's 12th multi-RBI game of the season and the third time that he has driven in three runs. The 28-year-old has logged at least one hit in six of his last seven game and has gone 8-for-21 (.381) with five RBI over that span.

Wagaman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins are leaving Wagaman out of the lineup for the fourth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Cade Cavalli). The right-handed-hitting Wagaman should remain a fixture in the starting nine versus lefties, as he's produced a .761 OPS in 163 plate appearances against them this season.

Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Wagaman has heated up in August with an .868 OPS over 23 games, but he's seen only 74 plate appearances on the month and is still stuck in a part-time role. He'll hit the bench for the second time in the Marlins' last three matchups against right-handers, but Wagaman should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.

Wagaman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder took Kevin Gausman deep in the third inning, giving Wagaman nine long balls on the season. He isn't getting consistent playing time, but Wagaman's taking advantage of his opportunities in August, slashing .250/.345/.583 over 55 plate appearances with half of his 12 hits (two triples and four homers) going for extra bases.

Wagaman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at first base against Matthew Liberatore and batting sixth, Wagaman took the St. Louis southpaw deep in the fourth inning. Wagaman has hit safely in four straight games and homered in back-to-back contests, giving him eight long balls on the year in 417 plate appearances to go with a tepid .236/.285/.369 slash line, and the bulk of his playing time for the remainder of the season will likely come in a short-side platoon role.

Wagaman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 5-3 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Wagaman has seen his playing time trend downward as he continues to struggle at the plate. Sunday's contest marked his first multi-hit performance since July 2, a stretch in which he went 15-for-88 (.170) with a homer, two doubles and two triples. Wagaman has been in the starting nine in two of Miami's last five games, as Troy Johnston and Liam Hicks have been seeing some work at first base.

Wagaman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Wagaman is on the bench against a right-handed starter (Miles Mikolas) for the second day in a row and for the third time in the last four games. Dating back to the start of July, Wagaman has contributed a lowly .431 OPS in 20 games, and his poor stretch of production appears to have cost him his role as the Marlins' everyday first baseman. The right-handed-hitting Wagaman could have to settle for the short side of a platoon at first base with the lefty-hitting Troy Johnston, who will get a second straight start following his promotion from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
