Will Wagner DH | SD
Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Lands on minor-league IL
Wagner (foot) was placed on Triple-A Buffalo's 7-day injured list Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Wagner hasn't played since May 10 due to foot soreness, though recent reports suggested he could return soon. Instead, the 26-year-old will sit for at least another week in order to give the ailing foot additional rest. Wagner began the season with the big-league club but was sent down to Triple-A in late April after posting a meager .504 OPS over 68 plate appearances.

He has started four consecutive games and gone 8-for-18 with three homers, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Exits with injury
Moncada was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent thumb injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada missed nearly a month of action while on the injured list because of a sprained right thumb, and he appeared to aggravate it during a swing in the ninth inning. If the 29-year-old ends up having to miss any more time due to his latest flare-up, Kevin Newman and Tim Anderson would be the leading candidates to pick up playing time in the infield.
