Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Friday against the Nationals, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle went 1-for-7 during Miami's previous series against San Diego, so he'll take a seat Friday amid his offensive woes. Wendle's absence will allow Jon Berti to start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder had the Marlins' only extra-base hit of the day in the fifth inning and promptly stole third base, but he was left stranded. Wendle continues to offer little fantasy upside -- he hasn't had a multi-hit performance since July 7, batting a feeble .159 (16-for-88) in 34 games since with zero homers, seven RBI and nine runs, and Wednesday's steal was only his fifth of the season and his first since late June. Despite his prolonged slump, Wendle remains on the strong side of a platoon at shortstop, and Jon Berti has done little to wrest away more playing time from him.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old's move to the bench may have more to do with the Marlins and Reds getting together for a day game after a night game, with Wednesday's series finale beginning at 12:35 p.m. ET.
