The Marlins claimed Wall off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonvile.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old outfielder was DFA'd by Atlanta on Monday to help make room for Whit Merrifield and Nacho Alvarez. Wall will remain in Triple-A, where he's slashed .279/.380/.411 with 18 RBI through 231 plate appearances, though he reclaims a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new organization.

Atlanta designated Wall for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta needed to free up room on its 40-man roster for the additions of infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield and infielder Nacho Alvarez, and Wall ended up being a casualty. Wall, 28, turned in a .554 OPS in 13 games this season at the major-league level and stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Atlanta optioned Wall to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wall got an opportunity in left field against right-handed pitching but managed just a .573 OPS in 11 games after being promoted last month. He's being sent out in favor of Eli White as Atlanta scrambles for replacements in its injury-riddled outfield.

Wall went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has gone 6-for-25 (.240) with three walks and three steals on five attempts since he rejoined Atlanta in mid-June. The outfielder is hitting .231 with three steals, one RBI and three runs scored across 29 plate appearances this season. He appears set for at least a strong-side platoon role for the remainder of the first half while Ramon Laureano (oblique) is on the mend.

Wall went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old pilfered his first two bags of the year against a rusty Willson Contreras, who was making his return from a lengthy IL stint. In four games since getting called up last week, Wall has gone 3-for-10 while working on the strong side of a platoon in left field with Adam Duvall, and his speed gives him some fantasy utility in deeper formats.

Wall isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's game versus the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Wall will retreat to the dugout Sunday as the Yankees prepare to send southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Adam Duvall will fill the opening in left field and bat seventh instead.

Wall is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
After being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, Wall started in left field in both of the first two games of the series versus Detroit and went 2-for-5 with an RBI. Atlanta looks as though it'll give the lefty-hitting Wall a look as a strong-side platoon player in the corner outfield, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday in favor of Ramon Laureano while the Tigers bring southpaw Tarik Skubal to the hill.

Wall went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old drove home Atlanta's first run of the night in the seventh inning with a two-out single. Wall was making his first start of the season in the majors -- he made two appearances off the bench in April before being sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett -- and he could be in line for consistent playing time as a strong-side platoon partner for Ramon Laureano, with Atlanta missing both Ronald Acuna (knee) and Michael Harris (hamstring) from its usual starting outfield. Wall was slashing .287/.393/.415 with four homers and 10 steals in 44 games for Gwinnett.
