• Marlins' Joey Wendle: Activated from IL, starting Friday

  2D ago •

  Wendle (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at second base and bat second Friday versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Wendle will return to the lineup Friday after missing the entire month of June. His return comes at a good time considering Jorge Soler (back) was placed on the 10-day IL earlier in the day. Wendle has produced a .284 average with two homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and four stolen bases over 88 at-bats in 29 games this season.

• Marlins' Joey Wendle: Rehab assignment begins Saturday

  Wendle (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter during a rehab game at Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Wendle has been sidelined since the beginning of June due to his hamstring injury, but he'll be able to return to game action with the minor-league club this weekend. It's possible that the 32-year-old will require multiple rehab games, but it seems likely that he'll rejoin the Marlins sometime next week. Brian Anderson (back) is also in Jacksonville on a rehab assignment, and it's not yet clear how the playing time at the hot corner will be dished out once Anderson, Wendle and Jon Berti are all healthy.

• Marlins' Joey Wendle: Rehab assignment coming soon

  12D ago •

  Wendle (hamstring) is on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this weekend, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. In addition to Wendle, Brian Anderson (back) is also likely to begin playing in rehab games in the days to come, but neither player should be expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list for the Marlins' weekend series with the Mets. When both have been healthy this season, Wendle and Anderson have formed a platoon at third base, but it's unclear if manager Don Mattingly will stick with that arrangement once the two players are activated. Jon Berti has been a revelation as the Marlins' everyday third baseman thus far in June and has been a godsend for fantasy managers by hitting .300 while going 14-for-14 on stolen-base attempts through 18 games this month.

  Wendle (hamstring) will hit live batting practice Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He started a running program earlier this week so it seems like Wendle could be nearing a rehab assignment. Once healthy, it will be interesting to see how the Marlins make room for Wendle, given that Jon Berti has fared well as his replacement.

• Marlins' Joey Wendle: Starts running again

  19D ago •

  Marlins manager Don Mattingly revealed Monday that Wendle (hamstring) has resumed baseball activities and has started a running progression, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Wendle's ability to resume on-field work suggests that the platelet-rich plasma injection he received for his strained right hamstring earlier this season has yielded the desired effect. Since Wendle is now in the midst of his second stint on the I0-day injured list this season due to a right hamstring injury, the Marlins will likely proceed cautiously with him before activating him. He doesn't look like a good bet to be activated this week.
