Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI ground-rule double in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle opened the scoring with his timely two-bagger in the first, plating Mallex Smith for his fourth RBI over the last two games. The 28-year-old is now hitting .407 over the first eight games of August, a surge that's already boosted his season average 10 points to .295.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a two-run double in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile infielder continues to deliver at the plate while also providing manager Kevin Cash with considerable flexibility due to his ability to fill in around the infield. Wendle has taken an already solid offensive season up a couple of notches since July 1, a 29-game stretch during which he's slashing .367/.438/.582 across 112 plate appearances.

Wendle is not in the lineup versus Baltimore on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will shift over to the bench following five straight starts, during which he's gone 7-for-17 (.412 average) with one home run and four RBI. Brandon Lowe will draw the assignment at the keystone in his absence.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle now has a trio of multi-hit efforts in his last five games, which has led to an impressive .400 average thus far in August. Many of hits over that stretch have been timely, as he's driven in four runs -- nearly half of his July total. Wendle's Wednesday production pushed his season line to a solid .292/.344/.413, figures that are partly comprised of 23 extra-base hits (13 doubles, four triples, six home runs).

Wendle went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle plated a run in the first inning on a single to left, and he slugged a solo homer over the right field fence in the fifth. He's been heating up at the dish recently, raising his batting average from .278 to .292 over his past 10 matchups. Wendle is slugging .416 with six home runs and 33 RBI through 94 games this season.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He's put together a modest seven-game hitting streak, hitting .400 (10-for-25) during that stretch to boost his slash line on the season back up to .288/.340/.405. With Daniel Robertson (thumb) banged up and Tommy Pham (foot) on the disabled list, Wendle should once again be a relative fixture in the Rays' lineup, whether at second base or in left field -- where he needs only four more games played to gain 2019 outfield eligibility in fantasy leagues that use a 20-game threshold.

Wendle is out of the lineup Thursday against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Wendle will take a seat with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the bump for the Angels in the series finale. While it's expected that Wendle will be a fixture on the bench throughout the second half when the Rays face left-handed pitching, his playing time should remain stable against righties. Wendle has been one of the Rays' top hitters over the past month, with the 28-year-old supplying a .352/.426/.545 batting line over his past 26 appearances.

Wendle will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's likely just a temporary stint atop the lineup with the Rays' normal leadoff hitter, Kevin Kiermaier, getting the day off. Wendle is slashing .366/.438/.592 with three home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs in July, so the Rays offense shouldn't lose much juice with Kiermaier on the bench.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle is wrapping up the best month of his season in fittingly strong fashion, as he's now 5-for-12 with a double, two walks and two runs over the last three games. The 28-year-old has also collected nine multi-hit efforts on his way to a .373 average for the month, a tear that's boosted his season figure 26 points to .286 since July 1.

Wendle went 2-for-3 in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has put together a well-rounded offensive effort in July, as he's generated a .367/.433/.617 line over 67 plate appearances, a line partly comprised of four doubles, a triple and three home runs. The 28-year-old has supplemented his solid offensive contributions with plenty of defensive versatility, as he's logged time at second base, third base, shortstop and left field thus far in 2018.
