Wendle went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

He took Bryan Garcia deep to lead off the fourth inning, giving the Rays a 4-1 lead at that point. Wendle is slashing .345/.387/.586 through nine games to begin September, and he's already established new career highs with 10 homers and 65 runs on the season.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 10-4 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Wander Franco left the game with a hamstring injury after going from first to third on a Nelson Cruz double in the first inning. Wendle took over at shortstop and later knocked in Tampa Bay's first run of the game in the fifth. The 31-year-old has gone 8-for-25 (.320) across eight games in September. He's slashing a reasonable .276/.326/.432 with nine home runs, seven stolen bases, 50 RBI and 63 runs scored through 432 plate appearances overall. Franco is likely to miss additional time with his injury, which could put Wendle in line for something closer to an everyday role in the near term.

Wendle is not starting Friday against the Tigers and left-hander Matthew Boyd.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has recorded a hit in each of his last five starts, but he'll not surprisingly take a seat with the southpaw taking the hill for Detroit. Yandy Diaz will man the hot corner and hit cleanup.
