Wendle, who went 2-for-4 with a double in a win over the Astros on Tuesday, is hitting .333 (4-for-12) with two RBI over his last three starts.
EDGE Analysis
The versatile infielder has been a steady performer at the plate throughout the season while also turning in solid work in the field. Wendle has drawn the majority of his starts at second base, and he'll continue to see intermittent playing time there despite the expected Friday return of Daniel Robertson (hamstring).

Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
As per usual, Wendle will ride the pine with a lefty (CC Sabathia) taking the hill for the opposition. With Wendle on the bench, Willy Adames will move over to the keystone, opening up a start at shortstop for Adeiny Hechavarria, who had transitioned to a bench role after recently returning from the disabled list.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle got the Rays to within 4-3 with his sixth-inning single that plated Jake Bauers, his third RBI over the past four games. The 28-year-old has proven to be a valuable offseason addition, providing a bit of everything offensively while also serving as a solid and versatile defensive asset in the infield. Factoring in Thursday's production, he sports a solid .278 average, a number partly comprised of 11 extra-base hits (nine doubles, three triples, two home runs).

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Wendle will hit the bench for the second time this series with the Mariners bringing another southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. Wendle's absence clears room at second base for Christian Arroyo, who will bat sixth Sunday.
