Wendle went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder was a key part of the Miami's series sweep of Boston, going 8-for-12 over the three-game set with two steals and three runs scored. Wendle is batting .410 (16-for-39) over his last 12 games with five multi-hit performances in nine starts, and with the Marlins' offense as a whole beginning to heat up -- they out-scored the Red Sox 18-3 in the sweep -- his base knocks might start to turn into consistent production in other categories.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third multi-hit performance in the last four games for Wendle, but the double was his first extra-base hit since June 17. The 33-year-old is enjoying a big June, slashing .365/.385/.486 over 23 games, but it hasn't translated into much fantasy production -- on the season he has only one homer, three steals, eight RBI and 16 runs in 45 contests.

Wendle went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins piled up 10 runs on 19 hits, but it was their nine-hole hitter who led the team in knocks. Wendle has looked good since missing a couple games in the middle of the month with a minor groin issue, batting .371 (13-for-35) over 12 contests since his return, but only one of those hits went for extra bases and he has zero homers or steals, with just two RBI and four runs, during his hot streak.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Wendle has hits in five of his past six games but has just a .534 OPS during that span, and he'll head to the bench Sunday despite righty Johan Oviedo being on the mound for Pittsburgh. Rookie Jacob Amaya is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

Wendle is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob Amaya will cover shortstop and bat ninth with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for Toronto. The left-handed-hitting Wendle has drawn only eight plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

Wendle is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle returned to the lineup Friday after a short absence due to a groin injury, and he went 3-for-8 over the first two games of the set against the Nationals. Jacob Amaya is making his MLB debut and hitting ninth while playing shortstop.

Wendle (groin) has returned to the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle sat out the previous three contests with a groin issue but is feeling well enough to give it a go Friday. He'll be covering shortstop and batting sixth against Trevor Williams and the Nats.

Wendle (groin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Seattle, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third straight game Wendle has missed with an adductor/groin issue. The Marlins are off Thursday, so Wendle will hope to be back in there Friday versus the Nationals. Jon Berti is at shortstop again Wednesday.

Wendle is not in the lineup against the Mariners on Tuesday due to a left adductor/groin injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle will sit for a second straight game due to the injury, with Jon Berti getting the start at shortstop. Marlins manager Skip Schumaker believes that Wendle would be available off the bench if necessary, so for now the veteran infielder should be considered day-to-day.
