Wendle has been called up to the A's and will start at second base Wednesday against the Astros, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle had spent the entire 2016 season at Triple-A Nashville where he hit .279 with a .776 OPS in 125 games. Wendle has shown a bit of pop and speed with 12 homers and 14 steals. With the A's not in contention this year, they are actively giving playing time to their young players and Wendle has a chance to get at least semi-regular at-bats in September.
