The Toronto Blue Jays have plenty to feel good about as they chase the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees atop the AL East. Not only do they own the AL’s second Wild Card spot, but they dodged a bullet after superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s forearm injury on Thursday.

The 26-year-old left the game vs. the Cleveland Guardians early that day after getting hit by a pitch, and he was originally left out of the lineup on Friday vs. the Boston Red Sox. However, he was added back in just before the first pitch and went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in the 9-0 victory.

The good news continued with Toronto’s roster move on Saturday, which it announced via social media.

The team recalled infielder Will Wagner from Triple-A and activated him for Saturday’s Red Sox rematch. It also optioned outfielder Alan Roden to Triple-A.

Wagner is slashing just .186/.284/.220 with two RBI over 20 games this season, but he slashing .305/.337/.451 with two homers and 11 RBI over 24 contests in 2024. Meanwhile, Roden is slashing .206/.279/.309 with one homer and eight RBI over 42 games.

Fans on social media are excited to see Wagner play again.

“Welcome back, demon,” one said.

“WILLLLLLL!!!!!” another said.

“Wagner the right call over [Joey] Loperfido,” another said. “We don’t need another OF right now. Ernie [Clement] maybe gets a day off vs [Lucas] Giolito.”

“Will is back,” another said.

“Leave Will to cook now,” another said.

“Now we’re talkin’,” another said.
