Wendle (abdomen) is starting at second base and hitting second Friday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He made an appearance off the bench Thursday after missing a few days with a minor right core issue. Wendle is hitting .314 with one home run and one steal in 12 games this month. He should play pretty regularly down the stretch while hitting high in the lineup against righties.

Wendle is dealing with a "minor right core issue," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not exactly clear what type of injury Wendle is dealing with, but it prevented him from playing the last couple days and will limit him to a bench role again Thursday. Wendle is expected back over the weekend, so his absence should not extend much further.

EDGE Analysis

Wendle hit a solo homer off righty starter Kyle Gibson with one out in the fifth to give the Marlins the lead. The third baseman is having a bit of a down year offensively in his first season with the Marlins - his .248 average and .352 slugging percentage are the lowest they've been since 2019; however, he has a 12.8 percent strikeout rate in 2022, the lowest it's ever been in the 32-year-old's career.
