Wendle was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Wednesday, retroactive to May 31, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle exited Monday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort, and he'll land on the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. Brian Anderson (back) was also placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday, so Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo are in line for increased playing time at third base.

Wendle was removed from Monday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle went 1-for-2 to begin Monday's matchup before he was replaced by a pinch runner in the top of the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has had two IL stints due to right hamstring issues this season, but it's not yet clear whether his current injury will force him to return to the injured list. If Wendle misses additional time, Brian Anderson (back), Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo will likely fill in at the hot corner.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since he recently returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury along with the fact that the Marlins are opposing a lefty (Max Fried) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Wendle will cede third base to Willians Astudillo. Wendle picked up starts Friday and Saturday following his return from the IL, going hitless with an RBI across seven plate appearances between those contests.

Wendle (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle has been on the injured list since May 13 but is ready to return after logging seven at-bats during a rehab stint. He should find regular at-bats with both Jon Berti (illness) and Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) sidelined in the short term, though a timeshare at third base with Brian Anderson is most likely moving forward. Prior to going down, Wendle had maintained a .304/.368/.456 line with two home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored across 87 plate appearances.

Wendle (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle was eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll get some at-bats in the minors prior to rejoining the Marlins. It seems unlikely he'll return during the Marlins' upcoming two-game road trip in Tampa Bay, which begins Tuesday, but he could be back for the three-game set in Atlanta this weekend.

Wendle (hamstring) is participating in full baseball activities Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle landed on the injured list with a strained right hamstring last week, but the fact he's already back fully participating in baseball activities indicates it isn't a serious injury. The 32-year-old will be eligible to be activated Sunday, though it's unclear if he's expected to be ready to go by that point.

Wendle was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Friday, retroactive to May 12, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle was removed from Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks with a right hamstring injury, and he'll be forced to spend time on the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. The 32-year-old had gotten off to a strong start in 2022, slashing .304/.368/.456 with two homers, 12 runs, 10 RBI and four stolen bases over 25 games. It's not yet clear whether he'll need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf, but Brian Anderson is starting at third base Friday and should see additional playing time while Wendle is sidelined.

Wendle was removed in the bottom of the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle made his presence felt at the plate before departing with the injury, going 2-for-2 with a two-run home run to give the Marlins an early lead. Erik Gonzalez came on to replace Wendle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Marlins' weekend series with the Brewers.

Wendle will sit Saturday against San Diego, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle hasn't made a single start against a southpaw this season, a trend that continues Saturday against Sean Manaea. Joe Dunand will make his major-league debut at third base.

Wendle (hamstring) is starting Thursday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle missed the last three games due to hamstring soreness, but he'll start at third base and bat seventh in Thursday's series opener. Over his last four games, he's gone 1-for-13 with a double, a run, a stolen base and a walk.
