Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Three hits in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Wagaman went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Padres.
It's his third three-hit performance in the last 12 games, a stretch in which Wagaman is slashing .340/.370/.460 with a homer, seven runs and seven RBI. The 27-year-old has emerged as an everyday player for the Marlins, seeing most of his action at first base right now with occasional forays into left field, but his overall fantasy impact remains minimal -- he has a .693 OPS on the season with four homers and one steal in 50 contests.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Homers, drives in three in loss
Rotowire
Wagaman went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.
Wagaman's solo shot in the seventh inning got the Marlins on the board, and he added a two-run single in the eighth. While the comeback effort fell short, the 27-year-old continues to swing a fairly hot bat. He's hit safely in six of the last seven games, going 11-for-28 (.393) in that span. For the season, he's up to a .253/.302/.398 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs scored, one stolen base, 10 doubles and a triple across 179 plate appearances. Wagaman likely won't sustain his recent success at the plate, but Miami's offense doesn't have enough impact players to create a significant threat to his playing time.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Three-hit attack in rout
Rotowire
Wagaman went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.
Wagaman logged three hits for the third time this season, also tallying multiple knocks for the seventh time in 2025. Through 45 at-bats in May, the infielder is hitting .222 with three doubles, one triple, four RBI and two runs scored. Wagaman has consistently hit in the heart of Miami's batting order this year, but the lack of talent around him should continue to restrict his overall fantasy potential.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Not in Monday's lineup
Rotowire
Wagaman is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cubs.
Wagaman is carrying a sub-.600 OPS into play Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he begins to see his playing time slip. The Marlins are starting Matt Mervis at first base in Monday's series opener.

Rotowire
Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Wagaman, who went 0-for-8 in his two games prior to Saturday, got off to a slow start after he struck out swinging in each of his first two plate appearances. However, he came up clutch in the eighth inning, when his triple off Brandon Eisert brought Dane Myers and Nick Fortes home. Wagaman has struggled at the plate of late with a .115/.148/.231 slash line over his last seven games.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Racks up three hits in loss
Rotowire
Wagaman went 3-for-4 in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Athletics.
Friday marked the second three-hit performance and sixth multi-hit effort of the campaign by Wagaman. The 27-year-old should in theory have some decent RBI upside while consistently handling a premium spot in Miami's batting order, but he has just one RBI over his last nine games. During this span, Wagaman is hitting .250 (9-for-36) with the aforementioned RBI, two doubles and six runs scored.
Wagaman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a steal in Monday's win over the Reds.
Wagaman's third homer of the year was a solo shot in the fifth inning. He later singled and stole a base in the seventh. Wagaman is on a nine-game hitting streak, going 13-for-33 (.394) with six extra-base hits during that span. His season OPS is up to .815 through 71 plate appearances.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Shifting back to bench
Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Wagaman will hit the bench after starting each of the past four games at either first base or designated hitter while going 5-for-15 with two doubles, three walks, three runs and one RBI. The Marlins will likely continue to make room for the 27-year-old in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties may be more sporadic after Miami brought back Jesus Sanchez (oblique) from the injured list Tuesday.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: On base five times in win
Rotowire
Wagaman went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.
The 27-year-old infielder had gone 2-for-20 to begin April before Sunday's big performance. Wagaman has mainly split his time between first base and DH so far with the Marlins, slashing .231/.318/.359 through 44 plate appearances with a homer, three RBI and a 5:4 BB:K.

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).

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Could benefit from Norby injury
Rotowire
Wagaman could be in store for steady playing time at third base or designated hitter to begin the season after manager Clayton McCullough announced Tuesday that Connor Norby (oblique) will be out for about four weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Norby's injury will likely pave the way for Graham Pauley to make the Opening Day roster as an extra infielder, but De Nicola relays that the Marlins are likely to lean primarily on Wagaman and Jonah Bride at the third base and DH spots early on. After making his MLB debut with the Angels late last season, the 27-year-old Wagaman was non-tendered in November before signing a one-year deal with Miami. He earned his spot on the Marlins' 26-man active roster after producing a .738 OPS over 53 plate appearances in Grapefruit League play.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Appears set for bench spot
Rotowire
Wagaman should be on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Graham Pauley's assignment to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday removed Wagaman's main competition for a spot. The 27-year-old hasn't done much at the plate this spring, batting .200 (7-for-35) with two homers, one steal and a 5:9 BB:K, but he has experience at both infield and both outfield corners, versatility that could come in handy off the bench with Jesus Sanchez (side) set to begin the season on the IL.
The Marlins signed Wagaman to a one-year contract Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Wagaman was non-tendered by the Angels last month. The 27-year-old got a cup of coffee with the Halos in 2024, slashing .250/.270/.403 with two homers in 18 games with a .274/.339/.469 line and 17 home runs last year in the minors. Wagaman should have a pretty good chance to make the Opening Day roster as a utility player on a talent-deficient Marlins club.

Eric Wagaman: Let go by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels non-tendered Wagaman on Friday.
The 27-year-old was dropped from the Angels' 40-man roster Tuesday in order to protect Jack Dashwood from the Rule 5 Draft, and Wagaman will become a free agent after Los Angeles declined to offer him a contract ahead of Friday's deadline. He put up an .855 OPS in 107 Triple-A plate appearances last season, and he'll likely fill in as organizational depth wherever he lands.
