Wagner (elbow) was designated for assignment Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports. Wagner will be removed from the 40-man two weeks after undergoing Tommy John surgery. His recovery will likely keep him out for most, if not all, of next season. Wagner had been shut down since mid-June with forearm soreness, and the decision to undergo surgery did not come until mid-August.
