Wendle will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will start for just the ninth time through the Mets' 35 games this season, handling second base while Jeff McNeil gets a look in left field. The 34-year-old will likely to continue seeing light use in his utility role unless the Mets lose one of their regular infielders to injury.

Wendle will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Tigers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle didn't make an appearance in the lineup or off the bench in the weekend series against the Brewers, but he will start the first game of a three-game set versus the Tigers. Jeff McNeil is receiving a day off.

Wendle (shoulder) is starting at second base for the Mets' spring training game against Washington on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Shoulder soreness has kept Wendle out of Grapefruit League play this spring, but he is now set to make his spring debut. Wendle posted just a .610 OPS during his two seasons with Miami, and he will most likely compete for at-bats as a utility man with the Mets this year.

Wendle has been dealing with a sore right shoulder, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle's shoulder has prevented him from playing so far during spring training, but he is on track to make his Grapefruit League debut in about a week. The 33-year-old infielder slashed .212/.248/.306 across 318 plate appearances with Miami last season and figures to operate in a utility role for the Mets in 2024.

Wendle signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After two seasons with the Marlins, Wendle will remain in the NL East and presumably serve in a utility role with the Mets. The 33-year-old infielder had his worst season at the plate in 2023, slashing .212/.248/.306 across 318 plate appearances. While Wendle's defensive versatility may get him in the lineup fairly often next year, his poor bat puts a low ceiling on his fantasy value.

Wendle remains out of the lineup Thursday at Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has batted just .222/.257/.323 in 103 games (299 plate appearances) this season and seems to have finally lost his grip on a starting role. Garrett Hampson is playing shortstop Thursday for the fourth time in the Marlins' last six games. Three of those starts for Hampson have come against right-handers, including Thursday's tilt versus Brewers righty Adrian Houser.

Wendle is not in the lineup Wednesday at Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop and bat seventh as the Marlins take on right-hander Trevor Megill and a parade of Brewers relievers. Wendle owns a brutal .224/.259/.325 slash line through 102 games (297 plate appearances) this season.

Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will get a day off after going 3-for-16 with a homer, four RBI and three runs scored across seven games to begin September. Garrett Hampson will instead start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Wendle is not in the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Jon Berti will start at shortstop and bat eighth with left-hander Cristopher Sanchez taking the ball for Philadelphia. Wendle has an overall .589 OPS on the season and continues to sit versus southpaws.

Wendle went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old infielder hadn't had a multi-hit performance since July 7, slashing a woeful .143/.179/.190 over the 42 games in between, and his only other homer in 2023 came June 9. Wendle had begun ceding playing time at shortstop to Garrett Hampson in September, but this offensive eruption might help stabilize his spot in the starting nine.
