Sits down Friday Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Friday against the Nationals, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
Nabs fifth steal Wendle went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Padres.
Impact The infielder had the Marlins' only extra-base hit of the day in the fifth inning and promptly stole third base, but he was left stranded. Wendle continues to offer little fantasy upside -- he hasn't had a multi-hit performance since July 7, batting a feeble .159 (16-for-88) in 34 games since with zero homers, seven RBI and nine runs, and Wednesday's steal was only his fifth of the season and his first since late June. Despite his prolonged slump, Wendle remains on the strong side of a platoon at shortstop, and Jon Berti has done little to wrest away more playing time from him.

Wraps up big series in Boston Wendle went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
Impact The veteran infielder was a key part of the Miami's series sweep of Boston, going 8-for-12 over the three-game set with two steals and three runs scored. Wendle is batting .410 (16-for-39) over his last 12 games with five multi-hit performances in nine starts, and with the Marlins' offense as a whole beginning to heat up -- they out-scored the Red Sox 18-3 in the sweep -- his base knocks might start to turn into consistent production in other categories.

Nabs third steal Wendle went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.
Impact It's the third multi-hit performance in the last four games for Wendle, but the double was his first extra-base hit since June 17. The 33-year-old is enjoying a big June, slashing .365/.385/.486 over 23 games, but it hasn't translated into much fantasy production -- on the season he has only one homer, three steals, eight RBI and 16 runs in 45 contests.

Wendle has looked good since missing a couple games in the middle of the month with a minor groin issue, batting .371 (13-for-35) over 12 contests since his return, but only one of those hits went for extra bases and he has zero homers or steals, with just two RBI and four runs, during his hot streak.
