The Marlins announced Thursday that theyve claimed outfielder off waivers from the division-rival Braves. Wall has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville. Miami already had an open 40-man roster spot, so no corresponding moves were nece sary. The 28-year-old Wall hit .241/.313/.241 in a small sample of 32 plate appearances with Atlanta this season. Hes seen big league time with the Braves in two straight seasons now but has been primarily a reserve player whos been up due to his speed. Hes gone 8-for-12 in stolen base attempts but had greater succe s Darin Ruf Jersey and more prolific base-stealing numbers in the minors. Looking past that quick look with the Braves, most of Walls 2024 season has been spent in Triple-A Gwinnett. Hes slashed .279/.380/.411 with a 12.1% walk rate, 25.1% strikeout rate and a dozen steals in 51 games. Wall typically draws walks at a high clip in the upper minors and makes opponents pay with his wheels. Hes a career .268/.354/.387 hitter in parts of five Triple-A seasons, and hes swiped 152 bases in 353 games there. Hes played all three outfield positions and also has more than 2100 profe sional innings at second base. Wall still has two minor league option years remaining beyond the current season, so if the Fish want to keep him on the roster, he can be a piece of their outfield puzzle for a few years to come. Wall doesnt have much power but clocks into the 93rd percentile of big leaguers in terms of average sprint speed, per Statcast. Miamis long-term outfield picture is rather thin at the moment, so bringing in a versatile OBP- and speed-focused outfielder with options left makes some sense particularly if they trade center fielder or (le s likely) one of or in the coming days.
