Wendle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-1 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

His seventh-inning shot off Brad Peacock was the only offense Tampa could muster on the night, and it was also Wendle's first homer in an injury-plagued campaign. The infielder is slashing only .208/.273/.295 through 48 games, a disappointing follow-up to his impressive rookie campaign in 2018. Due to the Rays' extensive depth in the infield and in recognition of his struggles to stay healthy this season, Wendle is expected to be limited to playing no more than two games in a row the rest of the way, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
