Rotowire
The Mets designated Wagaman for assignment Sunday.
Wagaman's stay on the Mets' 40-man roster lasted just under a week, after New York claimed him off waivers from Minnesota on Monday. The 28-year-old corner infielder will be subject to the waiver process again, and if he goes unclaimed this time around, he'll have the ability to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse and elect free agency.

Rotowire

Twins' Eric Wagaman: Traded to Minnesota
Rotowire
The Twins acquired Wagaman from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Kade Bragg.
Wagaman had been designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new club. The 28-year-old slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs across 140 games for the Marlins this season and is capable of handling the corner infield and outfield spots. Wagaman sported a .283/.321/.462 batting line against lefties in 2025, so much of his playing time in Minnesota could come versus southpaws.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
Wagaman was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Wagaman is the roster casualty following the addition of Esteury Ruiz from the Dodgers. Wagaman slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs and four steals in 514 plate appearances for the Marlins in 2025. He has some intriguing offensive traits, including strong bat speed and solid swing decisions, but Wagaman's lack of notable power (.128 ISO) in his age-27 season while playing at the bottom of the defensive spectrum made him expendable.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
After seeing his seven-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-3 showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Wagaman will hit the bench Sunday. The 28-year-old should continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching during the final week of the season, though he may have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching after the Marlins recently welcomed back fellow infielders Connor Norby and Graham Pauley from the 10-day injured list.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: On bench against righty
Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Wagaman has heated up in August with an .868 OPS over 23 games, but he's seen only 74 plate appearances on the month and is still stuck in a part-time role. He'll hit the bench for the second time in the Marlins' last three matchups against right-handers, but Wagaman should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Ends homer drought Tuesday
Rotowire
Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Phillies.
The 27-year-old took Jesus Luzardo deep in the second inning, ending a 20-game homerless drought for Wagaman in which he hit just .228 (18-for-79) with four doubles and 10 RBI. He's emerged as the Marlins' starting first baseman mostly by default, but Wagaman doesn't have the offensive upside typically associated with the position -- through 270 plate appearances on the season, he's slashing .245/.289/.369 with five home runs and 27 RBI. Deyvison De Los Santos (quadriceps) is on a rehab assignment and should return to action with Triple-A Jacksonville shortly, and he represents the biggest threat in the organization to Wagaman's starting gig.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Swats first homer of season
Rotowire
Wagaman went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.
Getting the start at designated hitter and batting third against David Peterson, Wagaman took the southpaw deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The long ball was the 27-year-old utility player's first of the season, and Wagaman has been seeing more playing time than expected in the early going with Connor Norby and Jesus Sanchez both on the shelf with oblique injuries. Wagaman has started three straight games -- all against lefties -- and has gone 4-for-15 (.267).
