Wendle is out of the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle will head to the bench with the A's facing lefty Ariel Miranda, as he did the last time the team faced a southpaw. While he continues to lead off against right-handed pitching, Wendle has mostly underwhelmed in the leadoff role with a .324 OBP and .339 SLG from the top spot.

Wendle is out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He had started the last eight games for the A's at second base, but is out of the lineup in favor of Chad Pinder on Friday. In those eight games, Wendle hit .294/.342/.382 with one home run in 38 plate appearances. He should be able to compete to be Oakland's starting second baseman next year in spring training.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday in an 11-2 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle's leadoff blast off Yu Darvish in the first inning, his first-ever big league homer, set the tone for the last place A's romp of the AL West-leading Rangers. Since being called up at the beginning of September, he is hitting .319/.340/.319 with six runs, seven RBI and two steals. He is worth a look for owners that need help at second base down the stretch.

Wendle was 4-for-6 with three runs scored Thursday against the Royals to raise his average to .349.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle was called up to the A's in late August and has been starting most of the games at second base and has recently been moved to the leadoff spot. While Wendle is hitting an impressive .349, it should be noted that he is also slugging .349 with all 15 of his hits going for singles. He displayed a little bit of pop and speed in the Triple-A this season with 12 bombs and 14 steals in 125 games, but he has yet to show any pop at all so far in his short major league stint. If he continues to hit atop the A's lineup down the stretch, he could be of some value to those in deeper leagues needing to make a move in the runs scored category.

Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, John Hickey of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has taken over as the Athletics' primary second baseman since his Aug. 31 promotion to the big leagues, going 7-for-26 (.269 average) with five RBI and two runs in his eight games. He'll give way to Chad Pinder on Sunday, but should continue to see the bulk of the duties at the keystone over the final few weeks of the season.

Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has started in two of the Athletics' four games since his Aug. 31 call-up, going 1-for-8 with a run scored. It appears manager Bob Melvin will deploy Wendle in a platoon at second base with Chad Pinder, with the left-handed hitting Wendle assuming the larger portion of the at-bats.

Wendle has been called up to the A's and will start at second base Wednesday against the Astros, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle had spent the entire 2016 season at Triple-A Nashville where he hit .279 with a .776 OPS in 125 games. Wendle has shown a bit of pop and speed with 12 homers and 14 steals. With the A's not in contention this year, they are actively giving playing time to their young players and Wendle has a chance to get at least semi-regular at-bats in September.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a walk in Triple-A Nashville's 3-2 loss to Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle has been mired in a slump for most of the season and he's now 3-for-23 (.130) over his last six games. The 26-year-old has proven that he's not a sub-Mendoza line hitter, however, as last season with Nashville, he batted .289 over 618 plate appearances. Given his history of success in the minors (career .283 BA) Oakland could call him up at some point in 2016 but he'll have to show that he can produce better than the .204 average he currently has in 2016.
