2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wagner is a really good hitter. He hits the ball hard (50% hard-hit, per Statcast) and frequently (81.3 Contact% in the majors). Those skills alone could allow him to have a Yandy Diaz-esque career. However, like Diaz, Wagner struggles to consistently lift the ball in the air (53.0 GB%), and he won't provide any speed on the bases. The Blue Jays acquired famed closer Billy Wagner's son at the trade deadline along with Jake Bloss and Joey Loperfido in the deal that sent Yusei Kikuchi to Houston. The 26-year-old second baseman hit .400 with more walks than strikeouts in seven games at Triple-A after the trade and then got the call to the majors. A lefty hitter, Wagner could sit against a decent amount of lefties when the Jays are at full strength. His price is cheap due to the lack of speed or significant game power, but he should be a good source of batting average and there's still a chance he makes the necessary adjustments to access 20-homer power. Wagner had a knee scope at the end of the season but was expected to be ready for baseball activities by the end of October. Read Past Outlooks

Recalled as Merrill replacement
The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
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.

Stat Review
How does Will Wagner compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
