#BlueJays have recalled Will Wagner from Triple-A and optioned Alan Roden.
This shifts a bit of their excess outfield depth back to the infield.

Wagner was surprisingly sent down in April after a tough start to the season then went down with an injury in May which kept him out up until half way through June.
While Roden has struggled so far this season, many believe that he will have a similar path to Addison Barger who took some time to develop but is currently one of the Blue Jays best players.
I still think that Alan Roden's time eventually comes. The player that everyone in the #BlueJays org raved about for years is still there.
Addison Barger is a good comparison, even as a drastically different player. If the org believes in a guy, they should keep betting on them.

Hopefully Wagner has improved during his time in the minors and will be ready to perform like he did at the end of last season.
