According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Tampa Bay Rays will be placing 2B Joey Wendle onto the 10-day Injured List with a hamstring issue, suffered after falling over Jake Marisnick during a stolen base attempt during Sunday’s afternoon contest with the Houston Astros.
The news comes just 24 hours after the Rays learned they will be without Matt Duffy for an extended period of time, thanks to his own injuries problems.
The Rays depth will be tested, but they are well suited to cover their holes on the infield. Wendle’s injury will allow Daniel Robertson, Brandon Lowe, and Yandy Diaz more time on the field, as well as Christian Arroyo, whom the team has promoted in the place of Wendle.
