The utility man apparently didn't feel 100 percent and may take a day off before resuming his rehab stint, depending on how he responds to treatment Wednesday. It sounds like Wendle will have to play through the issue for the remainder of the season, though he likely won't need to be shut down because of it.

A report Friday alluded to Wendle eventually moving his rehab to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, which is still slated to come to pass if he remains free of setbacks. However, he'll apparently move up his level of competition over the weekend ahead of that transition, jumping up to the Stone Crabs for what's likely to be a pair of appearances. Wendle is expected to need several more rehab games before being ready for activation.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle embarked on a rehab stint with the Gulf Coast League Rays on Thursday, and he's expected to see more action over the weekend before moving up to Triple-A.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle was able to log a full game in the field in his first taste of game action since July 28. Wendle may play at least couple of more games with the rookie-level squad before bumping his rehab assignment up to a higher level of the minors.

Wendle (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment with the Rays' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate as soon as Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle, who has been sidelined since July 28 with a sore right wrist, is at the same point in his recovery as fellow utility man Brandon Lowe. Assuming Wendle gets the green light to play in GCL games by the end of the week, he'll likely move his rehab program to a higher-level affiliate shortly thereafter. Once he eventually makes his return to the Rays in late August or early September, Wendle may have to settle for a limited role with Lowe and Eric Sogard both representing superior lefty-hitting options that offer similar positional versatility.
