Tampa Bay Rays second basemen Joey Wendle was taken out by a slide when Mike Zunino gunned down a base runner from the Houston Astros on a strike em out throw em out end of the inning. The slide did not mean to hurt Wendle, but he was removed from that game for precautionary reasons, and he now will head to the injured list for ten days.
Joey Wendle, a 28 year old infielder, enjoyed a break out season in 2018 where he hit for a .300 average, with a .354 on base percentage. Wendle knocked in 61 runs a year ago, with seven home runs.
