Wendle went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Tuesday's victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Miami scored its first two runs after Wendle grounded into a fielder's choice, followed by an error in the second inning. The 33-year-old Wendle would add a single in the fifth before picking up his first stolen base of the season. Overall, it's been a rough start to the year for Wendle. He's just 4-for-32 through his first 11 contests, though three of his four hits have gone for extra bases. The left-handed-hitting Wendle will likely remain in a platoon role with Jon Berti and Garrett Hampson at shortstop.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle is 3-for-20 with a double, two triples, two RBI and a run in six games since being activated from the injured list last weekend, and he'll head to the bench Sunday after he started the past five games. Jon Berti will take over at shortstop in the series finale versus Cincinnati.

Wendle went 1-for-1 with an RBI triple in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was Wendle's first game back from the injured list since April 3 after he had been sidelined with a right intercostal strain. He pinch hit for Jacob Stallings in the 10th and would up roping an RBI triple down the right field line to put the Marlins up 3-2. Wendle's current role is a bit unknown after he began the year as the team's starting shortstop. He could wind up on the strong side of a platoon with Jon Berti, Garrett Hampson and even Jean Segura over at third base, with that trio struggling to hit right-handed pitching so far this season.

Wendle (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle has been on the shelf for the past month with an intercostal strain, but he's back on the active roster after an eight-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 33-year-old opened the season as Miami's primary shortstop, but he went 0-for-8 prior to the injury and could be at risk of being supplanted by Jon Berti -- who is starting Sunday against the Cubs -- or Garrett Hampson.

Wendle (intercostal) did cage work and fielded grounders Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
