  Wendle (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports. This was expected after Wendle was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist Wednesday, an injury he suffered after getting hit by a pitch. It's unclear how long the injury will keep the infielder sidelined at this point, though John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times estimates that Wendle will be unavailable for at least 3-to-4 weeks. Christian Arroyo was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move, while Brandon Lowe figures to cover the keystone while Wendle is on the shelf.

  25D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Wendle was diagnosed with a right wrist fracture Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Wendle exited Wednesday's game against the Royals after getting hit by a pitch during the sixth inning, and subsequent X-rays revealed he is dealing with a broken wrist. This is a tough break for the second baseman, who only recently returned from a hamstring injury. While Wendle is expected to land back on the injured list, the potential length of his absence remains unclear. Look for Brandon Lowe to cover the keystone in his absence.
