Wendle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a single Saturday during the Rays' loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The vet delivered one of the few blemishes on Pablo Lopez's sterling line by charging a fastball over the center-field fence for his fifth big fly of 2018 in the fourth inning. It was his third bomb in July, during which he's rattled off a .400 average in 50 at-bats. The Rays will continue to mix and match playing time among at least two infield spots, but Wendle, who led off in this one, will stay on the card as long as he's keeping this going.

Wendle went 2-for-5 with two RBI from a single and a double in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle closed out the first half in strong fashion, generating three straight two-hit, two-RBI efforts. The 28-year-old is hitting a smoldering .405 over 47 plate appearances in July, an especially welcome departure from a month of June in which he hit just .192. Wendle's offensive numbers have naturally seen considerable boosts in the process, as he heads into the All-Star break slashing .283/.331/394 after entering the month with a .260/.302/.344 line.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with two RBI from a solo home run and a single and also scored twice in a loss to the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle closed out the scoring on the night with his ninth-inning solo blast off Fernando Rodney, his fourth of the season.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle slugged the last of three round trippers for the Rays, launching an eighth-inning solo blast off reliever Paul Sewald. The versatile infielder has thrived in his brief opportunities hitting out of the leadoff spot this season, as he's now hitting .385 (6-for-13) with Sunday's homer, two RBI, three walks and six runs.

Wendle is not in the lineup against the Mets on Saturday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will head to the bench with southpaw Steven Matz on the hill for New York. In his place, Daniel Robertson will get a start in left field and bat third in the order.

Wendle went 2-for-2 with a walk in a loss to the Marlins on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle was one of the few Rays to enjoy a productive day at the plate, extending what has been a strong start to July. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Wendle has boasts a pair of multi-hit efforts over his three starts in the new month, going 5-for-11 (.455) during that span.

Wendle is not in the lineup Monday against the left-handed Wei-Yin Chen and the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has still yet to start against a southpaw this season. Daniel Robertson gets the nod in left field in his place.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle hit leadoff for just the third time this season and was able to extend his hitting streak to four games in the process. The 28-year-old continues to carve out playing time for himself with defensive versatility, as he's now drawn three straight starts in left field, adding to a resume that already includes time at second base, third base and shortstop.

Wendle will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's seen the overwhelming majority of his time at second base this season, Wendle appears to have transitioned to more of a utility role for the Rays over the last week or so following the promotion of middle-infield prospect Willy Adames and reinstatement of Daniel Robertson from the disabled list. He'll pick up his third consecutive start in left field Sunday and could end up seeing most of his action there going forward with Robertson and Adames settling in as the club's main middle infielders and Adeiny Hechavarria often factoring into the mix as well. Wendle finished June with a lowly .192/.224/.205 batting line, though he'll at least carry a three-game hitting streak into the series finale with Houston.

Wendle will start in left field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second time in four games, Wendle will pick up a start in left field, despite his limited experience at the position. With the Rays eager to find at-bats for the likes of Willy Adames, Daniel Robertson and Adeiny Hechavarria in the middle infield, any added versatility Wendle can show would go a long way for him to maintain a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. The 28-year-old has slumped offensively in June, slashing just .185/.214/.200 across 20 games.
