Wagaman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Thursday.
Wagaman didn't start the contest, but he was called upon to pinch hit for MJ Melendez with a runner on second base in the sixth inning. That substitution worked out well for New York, as Wagaman clubbed a two-run homer to left field to give the team its first runs of the game. The long ball was the second of the season for Wagaman, who has seen sporadic playing time while up with the big-league club. He's started just twice in the Mets' past eight contests.

Mets' Eric Wagaman: Homers in win
Rotowire
Wagaman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Reds.
Wagaman made the most out of his first start with the Mets, launching a home run to left field against Andrew Abbott in the second inning. The 28-year-old was recently called up as an option against left-handed pitching after a highly productive stint at Triple-A Syracuse, and Wednesday's production certainly helps his cause with respect to his chances of seeing consistent opportunities.

Rotowire

Wagaman's stay on the Mets' 40-man roster lasted just under a week, after New York claimed him off waivers from Minnesota on Monday.

Twins' Eric Wagaman: Traded to Minnesota
Rotowire
The Twins acquired Wagaman from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Kade Bragg.
Wagaman had been designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new club.

Wagaman sported a .283/.321/.462 batting line against lefties in 2025, so much of his playing time in Minnesota could come versus southpaws.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
Wagaman was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Wagaman is the roster casualty following the addition of Esteury Ruiz from the Dodgers. Wagaman slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs and four steals in 514 plate appearances for the Marlins in 2025. He has some intriguing offensive traits, including strong bat speed and solid swing decisions, but Wagaman's lack of notable power (.128 ISO) in his age-27 season while playing at the bottom of the defensive spectrum made him expendable.

Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
After seeing his seven-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-3 showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Wagaman will hit the bench Sunday. The 28-year-old should continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching during the final week of the season, though he may have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching after the Marlins recently welcomed back fellow infielders Connor Norby and Graham Pauley from the 10-day injured list.

Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
The Marlins are leaving Wagaman out of the lineup for the fourth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Cade Cavalli).

Rotowire
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

He'll hit the bench for the second time in the Marlins' last three matchups against right-handers, but Wagaman should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.

Rotowire
Wagaman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.
