The Blue Jays recalled Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

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.

The Blue Jays optioned Roden to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Will Wagner, who was recalled from Triple-A. Roden made the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, and after a brief stint in the minors he returned to the big leagues at the end of May. He's gone 7-for-24 (.292) with two doubles and three RBI since the beginning of June. He has seen sparse playing time in the majors and will get more reps in an everyday role in Triple-A.

Westburg aggravated his left index finger injury during Friday's win over the Rays. He's considered day-to-day and could be available off the bench as a pinch hitter. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat second.
