Wendle will sit Friday against the Athletics, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Brosseau will be the third baseman with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound for Oakland. Wendle isn't being strictly platooned this season, though nearly all of his off days have come against southpaws. He's started against six of the 12 the Rays have faced thus far this season.
