Wall has now been DFA'd by three organizations this season, with Atlanta and Miami having already moved him off their 40-man rosters.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Wall for assignment Monday.
Atlanta needed to free up room on its 40-man roster for the additions of infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield and infielder Nacho Alvarez, and Wall ended up being a casualty. Wall, 28, turned in a .554 OPS in 13 games this season at the major-league level and stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Swipes two bags in loss
Rotowire
Wall went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.
The 28-year-old pilfered his first two bags of the year against a rusty Willson Contreras, who was making his return from a lengthy IL stint. In four games since getting called up last week, Wall has gone 3-for-10 while working on the strong side of a platoon in left field with Adam Duvall, and his speed gives him some fantasy utility in deeper formats.

Wall is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
After being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, Wall started in left field in both of the first two games of the series versus Detroit and went 2-for-5 with an RBI. Atlanta looks as though it'll give the lefty-hitting Wall a look as a strong-side platoon player in the corner outfield, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday in favor of Ramon Laureano while the Tigers bring southpaw Tarik Skubal to the hill.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Gets hit in first start
Rotowire
Wall went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.
The 28-year-old drove home Atlanta's first run of the night in the seventh inning with a two-out single. Wall was making his first start of the season in the majors -- he made two appearances off the bench in April before being sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett -- and he could be in line for consistent playing time as a strong-side platoon partner for Ramon Laureano, with Atlanta missing both Ronald Acuna (knee) and Michael Harris (hamstring) from its usual starting outfield. Wall was slashing .287/.393/.415 with four homers and 10 steals in 44 games for Gwinnett.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Drawing start in left field
Rotowire
Wall will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Tigers.
After receiving a promotion from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier Monday, Wall will immediately enter an Atlanta starting lineup that's been hit hard by injuries recently. The lefty-hitting Wall could end up seeing some regular reps in the outfield against right-handed pitching with Michael Harris (hamstring) recently joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Receives promotion
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Wall from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
It's possible the left-handed-hitting Wall could get some regular looks in the outfield if Atlanta prefers to limit Adam Duvall's and Ramon Laureano's exposure to right-handed pitching. If that happens, Wall would make for an interesting deep-league addition in fantasy leagues given his speed, as he's stolen 11 bases this season at Gwinnett and swiped 52 bags in 2023. He's capable of handling all three outfield spots.

Braves' Forrest Wall: Appears in line to make roster
Rotowire
Wall is now expected to begin the season in the majors, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
With the caveat that Atlanta could still add a player over the next week, Wall now appears in line to break camp with a reserve role after the team reassigned Luke Williams, David Fletcher and Eli White among others Monday afternoon. Wall has just one hit in his last five spring games, but he launched three homers early on in camp. The 28-year-old can back up all three outfield positions and provides a speed element off the bench that none of the team's other options could match.
