Wagaman went 1-for-3 with one walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Wagaman struck out in each of his first two at-bats, but he registered his second home run of the season when he took the first pitch he saw from Zack Wheeler deep to left-center field for a 427-foot, two-run moonshot. Wagaman is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-18 with two walks, five runs scored, one home run and four RBI.
Eric Wagaman Shifting back to bench
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Wagaman will hit the bench after starting each of the past four games at either first base or designated hitter while going 5-for-15 with two doubles, three walks, three runs and one RBI. The Marlins will likely continue to make room for the 27-year-old in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties may be more sporadic after Miami brought back Jesus Sanchez (oblique) from the injured list Tuesday.
