Atlanta selected Wall's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
A supplemental first-round pick (35th overall) by the Rockies in the 2014 MLB Draft, Wall has finally reached the majors at age 27. He joined Atlanta on a minor-league contract over the winter and had slashed .258/.360/.399 with six homers and 45 stolen bases through 78 games this season at the Triple-A level. Wall figures to primary serve as a pinch-runner and late-game defensive replacement for the NL East leaders. He can cover all three outfield spots.

Wall re-signed with the Blue Jays on a minor-league deal Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The contract includes an invitation to big-league camp. Wall has been a part of the Blue Jays' organization since coming over from the Rockies in the Seung Hwan Oh trade in 2018. He spent 2020 as part of the team's player pool but was never added to the 40-man roster.

Wall will be a part of the Blue Jays' 60-man roster.
EDGE Analysis
Wall advanced to Triple-A in 2019 and was able to work as a non-roster invitee this spring before play was suspended. The 24-year-old went 7-for-23 with five runs, three RBI and three stolen bases during spring training, and he could compete for a reserve role with the major-league club while he's with the 60-man player pool.

Wall was promoted to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wall hit .270 with 27 doubles, nine home runs, 13 steals (on 21 attempts) and a 109:49 K:BB in 109 games at Double-A. He is not on the 40-man roster, so it is unlikely that he makes his big-league debut until 2020.

Wall went 2-for-5 with two runs, two strikeouts and one stolen base in his first game in almost a year for High-A Lancaster against Modesto.
EDGE Analysis
He missed most of 2017 with a dislocated shoulder and returned to High-A -- a level where he has now played 145 games. Wall will likely have to wait things out at Lancaster until Brendan Rodgers or Garrett Hampson gets promoted from Double-A to Triple-A, as there is a bit of an organizational logjam at second base right now. Considering he has so much experience at High-A, is 22 and will get to play half his games in the extreme hitter's park in Lancaster, Wall should have no problem posting impressive numbers for as long as he calls the California League home.

Wall is out for the rest of the season after dislocating his left (non-throwing) shoulder in a game for High-A Lancaster earlier this month, Bobby DeMuro of BaseballCensus.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is now clear why Wall has not played since May 2. On the surface, it appeared that he was really playing well in a repeat run at High-A, slashing .299/.361/.471 with three home runs and five steals (on eight attempts) in 87 at-bats. However, the fact that he was slashing just .222/.237/.444 away from the extremely hitter-friendly conditions at Lancaster suggests that his surface numbers may not truly indicate how well he was playing prior to the injury.

Wall, 20, is hitting .342 with four steals over his last 10 games for High-A Modesto.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has been stellar of late, though has hit not particularly well overall in 2016. He is batting .267/.328/.691 on the season, though he does have 20 steals along with six home runs. The potential of double-digit home runs and 20-plus steals does make him an intriguing prospect, especially if he sticks at second base.
