Wendle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has now sat for the second time in three games that the Rays have faced a right-handed starting pitcher, with his lack of usage seemingly signaling that he'll be the odd man out more often than not in the crowded Tampa Bay infield. The downturn in playing time comes even while Wendle performed respectably in July, finishing the month with a .304/.328/.429 slash line in 15 games.
