Wendle, who exited Sunday's game with a hamstring strain, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle left Sunday's game against the Astros with a left hamstring strain, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle is considered day-to-day. If he's forced to miss time, Brandon Lowe or Daniel Robertson will cover for him at second base.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle went 0-for-2 and was hit by two pitches in Thursday's season-opening loss, but he never came out of the game and no injury has been announced so there's no real concern on his status. Daniel Robertson will start at second base and bat sixth in his stead Friday.

Wendle will be one of three players filling in at third base during Matt Duffy's (hamstring) stay on the injured list, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old Wendle complemented above-average work at the plate in 2018 with a diverse defensive resume, and his versatility will come into play early during the coming season. Wendle, Daniel Robertson and Yandy Diaz are expected to form a three-man rotation at the hot corner while Duffy is sidelined, an absence that will persist through at least the first seven games of the season. Although the majority of his time (101 games) was spent at second base last season, Wendle did log 20 appearances at third.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in an 8-1 Grapefruit League win over the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle squared up against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello for his second round tripper of spring in the second inning. The versatile infielder's first Rays season in 2018 was a success, as Wendle slashed .300/.354/.435 across 545 plate appearances while contributing 46 extra-base hits (33 doubles, six triples, seven home runs), 61 RBI and 16 stolen bases. Looking ahead to the coming campaign, the 28-year-old profiles as the left-handed side of a platoon at second base with Daniel Robertson, but he can also fill in at shortstop and third base as needed.

Wendle is on the bench for Saturday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle sits after making 12 straight starts. He grabbed a hit in 11 of those contests, hitting .378 with a 1.049 OPS overall. Brandon Lowe will start at second base in his absence, with Andrew Velasquez at third.

Wendle went 1-for-2 with an RBI double, two walks and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

As he's done virtually all season, Wendle both set the table and had a direct hand in run production as well. The 28-year-old's .417 on-base percentage during September has one-upped an already impressive .373 August figure, and an outstanding second half of the season overall has his season line sitting at an impressive .301/.356/.439.

Wendle went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Wendle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into Sunday's contest, Wendle had starting 19 of the Rays' last 20 games. He hit a solid .297/.353/.405 over that stretch. Brandon Lowe will get the nod at second base in his place.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle mustered the only extra-base hit for the Rays on a night when their offense was stymied by Shane Bieber and a pair of relievers. The versatile 28-year-old is putting together a solid follow-up effort after an outstanding August (.330 average, 18 RBI), with Tuesday serving as his fourth multi-hit tally in nine September contests.
