Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, John Hickey of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has taken over as the Athletics' primary second baseman since his Aug. 31 promotion to the big leagues, going 7-for-26 (.269 average) with five RBI and two runs in his eight games. He'll give way to Chad Pinder on Sunday, but should continue to see the bulk of the duties at the keystone over the final few weeks of the season.
