He's put together a .285/.382/.406 slash line along with six home runs and 16 stolen bases across three different Triple-A affiliates in 2024.

DFA'd by Miami The Marlins designated Wall for assignment Monday.

Impact The move makes room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Mike Baumann, who the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Angels on Monday. Wall was claimed by Miami in late July from Atlanta and sent to Triple-A Jacksonville, where he's slashing .292/.382/.333 with six runs scored and four stolen bases across 55 plate appearances. It's the second time Wall has been designated for assignment this season, and the 28-year-old could be claimed off waivers by a team in need of a lefty-handed hitter who plays in the outfield.

Impact Atlanta needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster in order to add Whit Merrifield and Nacho Alvarez. Wall, 28, has a .554 OPS in 13 games this season at the major-league level and stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Likely to miss out on roster spot Wall seems ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the season following the addition of Adam Duvall, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old appeared to have played his way onto Atlanta's Opening Day roster in a bench role with an impressive spring that has seen him bat .333 (10-for-30) with three homers and three steals. However, with Duvall now on the roster as a platoon partner for Jarred Kelenic in left field, Wall likely misses out as the team isn't expected to carry five outfielders. If his spring success carries over to Triple-A, Wall could be the first player called up should injuries hit the Atlanta outfield.

Swipes two bases in MLB debut Wall stole two bases after entering as a pinch runner in Saturday's loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Wall stole 45 bases in 78 games for Triple-A Gwinnett this season before earning his first MLB call-up Tuesday. The outfielder entered as a pinch runner for Eddie Rosario with one out in the ninth inning Saturday and immediately showed why Atlanta sees him as a valuable roster piece, stealing both second and third base on consecutive pitches before Milwaukee closer Devin Williams could get through the next batter. Wall was stranded as the tying run at third base, but it was nonetheless an impressive big-league debut. He isn't likely to see his name penciled into the lineup often, but Saturday's performance highlighted the impact Wall can make with his speed in select situations.

Selected to MLB roster Atlanta selected Wall's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact A supplemental first-round pick (35th overall) by the Rockies in the 2014 MLB Draft, Wall has finally reached the majors at age 27. He joined Atlanta on a minor-league contract over the winter and had slashed .258/.360/.399 with six homers and 45 stolen bases through 78 games this season at the Triple-A level. Wall figures to primary serve as a pinch-runner and late-game defensive replacement for the NL East leaders. He can cover all three outfield spots.
