The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Acquired from the Blue Jays on July 31, Wagner was subsequently optioned to El Paso, where he slashed .270/.333/.405 with two home runs and one stolen base in 17 games. He's been recalled from Triple-A to replace Jackson Merrill (ankle) on the active roster, though Gavin Sheets is the likelier candidate to benefit from regular playing time while Merrill is on the shelf. Wagner, meanwhile, will bolster the Padres' infield depth but likely won't be in store for steady starts.

Wagner was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was dealt from the Blue Jays to the Padres on Thursday but is currently blocked by both Ryan O'Hearn and Gavin Sheets. That leaves him without a spot on the roster, though that could change prior to the close of the regular season. Across 132 plate appearances with Toronto, Wagner hit .237/.336/.298.

Wagner was traded from the Blue Jays to the Padres on Thursday in exchange for Brandon Valenzuela.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner's role in San Diego is to be determined, as the Padres also acquired Ryan O'Hearn and already have Gavin Sheets in terms of lefty-hitting corner bats. Wagner slashed .237/.336/.298 with zero home runs and one steal in 132 plate appearances in the majors this season.

The Blue Jays reinstated Wagner from the restricted list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was away from the club for the previous two days so that he could attend his father's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown. He will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Orioles.

The Blue Jays placed Wagner on the restricted list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays will grant Wagner some time away from the team to attend his father's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown this weekend. Alan Roden will come up from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the opening on the active roster.

Wagner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays are facing off against a lefty starter (Carlos Rodon) for the second straight game, so the left-handed-hitting Wagner will remain on the bench. Leo Jimenez will get another start at second base while Ernie Clement shifts over to third base.

Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, Wagner will hit the bench Sunday. The 26-year-old utility player has a clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching through the All-Star break, and Wagner had started five of the past six games. Andres Gimenez (ankle) landing on the injured list Sunday will create even more opportunities on the infield, although Davis Schneider and Leo Jimenez will also be in the mix at the keystone.

The Blue Jays recalled Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner made Toronto's Opening Day roster but was optioned to Triple-A in late April after Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returned from the 10-day injured list. Wagner spent nearly a month on Buffalo's 7-day IL due to a foot injury but has gone 11-for-41 (.268) with one steal, four doubles, one home run and six RBI since being reinstated from the IL in mid-June. The Blue Jays optioned Alan Roden to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Wagner (foot) went 3-for-10 with three doubles, one RBI and one run in two games for Triple-A Buffalo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Before rejoining Buffalo over weekend, Wagner hadn't played for the Blue Jays' top affiliate since May 10 after fouling a ball off of his foot. The 26-year-old infielder was productive in his return to the Buffalo lineup and should continue to handle an everyday role at Triple-A with the hope of performing well enough to earn another look in the big leagues.

Wagner (foot) was placed on the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons' 7-day injured list Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner hasn't played since May 10 due to foot soreness, though recent reports suggested he could return soon. Instead, the 26-year-old will sit for at least another week in order to give the ailing foot additional rest. Wagner began the season with the big-league club but was sent down to Triple-A in late April after posting a meager .504 OPS over 68 plate appearances.
