Will Wagner's versatility may prove pivotal for the Toronto Blue Jays this season, especially following a strong performance last year. Acquired in a trade with the Houston Astros, Wagner quickly transitioned to the majors, boasting a .305 batting average and impressive on-base-plus-slugging stats before a knee injury sidelined him. With a full recovery, he stands poised to earn significant playing time in various positions.

Initially projected as the starting second baseman, Wagner's role shifted with the acquisition of Gold Glove winner Andrés Giménez. Despite questions about his defensive capabilities, particularly at third base, he is likely to fill a utility role, contributing at multiple spots. With the Jays needing offensive support, Wagner’s ability to produce may outweigh concerns about his defensive consistency.
