Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. Wendle has been banged up of late and will sit for the third straight game. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old to be day-to-day. It's a shame, since he's been hot in the month of September, hitting .313 (15-for-48) with a homer, four RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases in 15 games played. With Wendle out again Wednesday, rookie Charles Leblanc is starting at the ...

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (core) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies in the series finale. Wendle is dealing with a minor right core issue and is expected to return to the lineup at some point this weekend. He last played on Monday. With Wendle still sideline, rookie Jordan Groshans is making his third start at the keystone on Thursday and will hit eighth in the batting order against Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Groshans will be ...

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-6 extra-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was Wendle's first run batted in in 10 games, so it was nice to see him get back on the RBI board. In 260 at-bats in his first year in Miami, Wendle is hitting a pedestrian .250/.293/.342 with only two home runs, 27 RBI, 18 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 280 plate appearances and 76 games played. The 32-year-old hasn't done much in ...

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle isn't in the team's lineup for a Wednesday matchup with the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Cole Irvin. The 32-year-old is batting .248 with a .289 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 273 plate appearances in his first season with the Marlins. Jon Berti will step in at third base and hit leadoff while Charles Leblanc is starting at second base and batting seventh. Leblanc could be worth a look as a streaming option for ...

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Fantasy managers should expect Wendle's playing time to take a hit with Jon Berti returning from the injured list. The Marlins will move Wendle back to his utility role, which will likely cut down on his playing time. Berti will bat leadoff and play second base against left-hander Kyle Muller on Saturday. Possibly, Wendle is back in the lineup for the nightcap during ...

The Miami Marlins reinstated third baseman Joey Wendle (hamstring) from the injured list on Friday and placed outfielder Jorge Soler (pelvis) on the 10-day injured list with bilateral pelvis inflammation in a corresponding move.

Wendle is starting at second base and batting second on Friday against Washington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray. The...

Miami Marlins third baseman Joey Wendle (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Jacksonville and serve as the designated hitter. Wendle has been out since early June, but he's nearing a return to Miami's starting lineup. Barring any setbacks, the 32-year-old could be back in the big leagues at some point next week. Fellow third baseman Brian Anderson (back) is also rehabbing at Jacksonville and could return around the same time Wendle does. Wendle was ...

The Miami Marlins placed infielders Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) on the injured list on Wednesday. Wendle will go back to the injured list due to a right hamstring strain, while Anderson is dealing with back spasms. Wendle left the game early on Monday against the Colorado Rockies with right hamstring pain just two weeks after a stay on the IL for the same hamstring. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's out longer this time around. He was hitting a solid ...

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) was removed from the game early on Monday against the Colorado Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort after sliding into second base. Wendle went 1-for-2 at the plate before he exited the contest in the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has already been on the injured list twice this season due to hamstring issues, so this isn't a good sign. Fantasy managers should be bracing for another absence for Wendle, who came into Monday's game hitting ...

The Miami Marlins activated infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) and reliever Richard Bleier (illness) from the injured list on Thursday and optioned Payton Henry and Joe Dunand to Triple-A Jacksonville in corresponding moves. Wendle has been on the shelf since May 13, but he will return to the team's starting lineup on Friday after going on a minor league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old will likely be involved in some sort of timeshare at third base with Brian Anderson now that he's back. ...
