Wendle went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle has stolen bases in consecutive games, and he's up to 10 thefts in 11 tries this year. It's just the second time he's reached 10 steals in a season -- his career high is 16 from the 2018 campaign with the Rays. The infielder has put up a .257/.299/.351 slash line, but he's added just two home runs with 24 RBI and 17 runs scored through 264 plate appearances. He should remain a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old extended his current hitting streak to six games with a leadoff single in the eighth inning, but even after Wendle got himself into scoring position with his eighth steal of the year, the rest of the Marlins' anemic lineup couldn't bring him home. Since returning from a hamstring injury at the beginning of July, Wendle has held down a starting job and seen consistent action in the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching despite slashing a mediocre .252/.284/.317 with zero homers, 13 RBI and only three runs scored in 37 games.

Wendle went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wendle produced both of the Marlins' runs on the night on a two-out single to right field in the top of the fifth inning. He'll be filling in for a resting Miguel Rojas at shortstop Wednesday while serving as the Marlins' leadoff man, and Wendle should have a clear path to a regular spot in the lineup versus both right- and left-handed pitching while all of Brian Anderson (shoulder), Garrett Cooper (wrist), Jazz Chisholm (back), Jon Berti (groin) and Jorge Soler (back) are stuck on the injured list.
