Wendle (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Wendle will return from the injured list ahead of Friday's matchup with the Angels. He's been on the shelf since April 25 due to a fractured right wrist but has finally been given the green light by the team trainers after completing his rehab assignment. Hunter Wood will be optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Manager Kevin Cash said Wendle (wrist) will likely be activated from the injured list Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trainers have apparently "signed off" on Wendle's return, but he'll have to wait at least one more day before rejoining the Rays.

Contrary to a previous report, Wendle (wrist) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He rejoined the Rays on Wednesday, but they will opt to recall Hunter Wood as a corresponding move to placing Christian Arroyo (forearm) on the injured list. The Rays probably wanted an extra bullpen arm Thursday and will activate Wendle this weekend.

Wendle (wrist) has returned from his minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to be activated before Thursday's series finale against the Athletics, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The optioning of Christian Arroyo back to Triple-A Durham following Wednesday's game is the most definitive sign yet that Wendle is set to return. The versatile infielder finished his four-game minor-league stint with both High-A Charlotte and Durham having gone 7-for-15 with a solo home run, two walks and four runs. Wendle is expected to revert to his super-utility role in the infield upon activation.

Wendle (wrist) will play for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday night, and if all goes well, he could be activated from the injured list for Thursday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle is set to be re-evaluated Wednesday, and if everything checks out, he's expected to be activated Thursday. He's been on the injured list since April 25 after fracturing his right wrist.

Wendle (wrist) has no official timeline but could return by the end of the Rays' current homestand, which runs through Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle remains on target to return near the end of the 6-to-8 week timetable that was given when he fractured his wrist back in late April. He's been on a rehab assignment since Thursday and could be back in Tampa after just a few more games.

Wendle (wrist) started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Triple-A Durham's win over Gwinnett on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The fact Wendle logged the start at shortstop had significance in and of itself, as manager Kevin Cash remarked over the weekend that the Rays want the option of deploying Wendle at the position when he's activated. The versatile infielder appears to be on the verge of returning, with his 5-for-8 tally over this first two rehab games seemingly indicating his wrist is close to or at full health.

Wendle (wrist) will move his rehab up to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has been working his way back from a fractured wrist suffered in late April. He was initially given a 6-to-8 week timeline and is now seven weeks into that period, so he appears to be lining up to return near the back end of that window.

Wendle (wrist) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in High-A Charlotte's loss to Dunedin on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle's first taste of minor-league game action could hardly have gone better, as the versatile infielder was in fine form. The 29-year-old's stint on the injured list is now well past a month, so he's slated to log several rehab games before being deemed ready for activation. However, if Thursday's performance proves to be the norm, Wendle may not have to wait much longer to return to the big-league club.

Wendle (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Charlotte on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle was originally scheduled to kick off his rehab stint Wednesday, but he'll get an extra day to rest before making his return to game action. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since the end of April, so he'll likely need to appear in a handful of minor-league games before rejoining the Rays.
