Wendle (wrist) took swings in Tampa on Friday but is still being asked to exercise caution on his follow-through, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The step is an important one for Wendle considering his wrist is the cause of his injured-list stay. However, the fact he still is restricted is indicative the utility man is likely still several weeks away from activation.

Wendle (wrist) took grounders prior to Tuesday's game for the first time in his recovery, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle had further testing on his wrist Sunday, which showed nothing worse than the inflammation that landed him on the injured list July 31. While Tuesday's development naturally represent a positive step, it remains unclear how long Wendle will remain sidelined.

Wendle landed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle heads to the injured list for the third time this season. He's hit just .206/.274/.277 in 46 games when available. It's not clear when he's expected to return. Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Wendle is not in Saturday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Brosseau gets the start at the keystone with lefty Ryan Borucki starting for Toronto. While Wendle has seen some starts against lefties recently, this is a quasi platoon, as the righty-hitting Brosseau has shown an ability to mash lefties in the upper levels of the minors.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle's multi-hit effort was his third in his last four starts, a sign the struggling infielder might finally be starting to hit his stride for good at the plate. Injuries have derailed Wendle's rhythm for the majority of the season, but he's been able to boost his average 33 points to .209 since the calendar flipped to July thanks to increased consistency. The 29-year-old eclipsed the .300 mark in each of the last two seasons, so there's plenty of reason to believe his current surge is legitimate and has lasting potential.

Wendle remains on the bench Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle sits again with another lefty (Chris Sale) starting for Boston. He could sit for a third straight game Wednesday with a third lefty (David Price) on the mound. Mike Brosseau again starts at second base.

Wendle is not starting Monday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has posted a poor .216/.287/.284 slash line in 32 games since returning from a wrist injury. Mike Brosseau gets the start at second base with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Boston.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle encouragingly showed some signs of life at the plate Friday, garnering the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays in the process. The 29-year-old continues to intermittently provide glimpses of the hitter he's been over the preceding pair of .300 seasons, but his average still disappointingly sits just below the Mendoza Line at .197.

Wendle isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will bow out of the starting nine with a lefty (CC Sabathia) set to toe the rubber for New York. Mike Brosseau draws the start at the keystone and will hit third with Wendle riding the pine.

Wendle went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile infielder endured a first half to forget, as he spent significant time sidelined by injury and struggled to find his timing at the plate as a result. However, in a testament to talent eventually rising to the forefront, Wendle appears to progressively be clawing himself out of the hole. Factoring in Friday's production, the 29-year-old is hitting .327 with five doubles, five RBI, three walks, four stolen bases and eight runs since June 22, a 13-game span during which he's boosted his season average 124 points to .211.
