Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. With the Orioles sending lefty Trevor Rogers to the hill for the series finale, the left-handed-hitting Wagner will give way to the right-handed-hitting Nick Solak at designated hitter. Wagner had started each of the Padres' last four games against righties, going 4-for-8 with a double and four walks. The 27-year-old could have a fairly clear path to a strong-side platoon role until the Padres get Miguel Andujar (hamstring) back from the injured list.

William Wagner: Breaking News
Summoned from minors
The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. He will take the roster spot vacated by Xander Bogaerts and might be around only while Bogaerts is on paternity leave. Wagner has put up a .762 OPS with three home runs and a 21:19 BB:K over 30 games this season for El Paso.
Activated and optioned
The Padres reinstated Wagner (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso. Wagner opened the season on the shelf after he strained his right oblique at the beginning of March. After a prolonged shutdown, Wagner was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A to kick off May, and since the Padres didn't have room for him on their big-league bench, he'll end up sticking around at El Paso on a longer-term basis. Through his first seven games at Triple-A, Wagner has slashed .300/.548/.350 with two stolen bases and a 9:6 BB:K over 31 plate appearances.
