Rays' Joey Wendle: Sits as usual against lefty

Wendle is not in the lineup Friday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle and Daniel Robertson have taken part in a platoon at second base this season, with Wendle starting against every right-hander and Robertson facing every lefty. With Drew Pomeranz on the mound Friday, Roberston will get the nod. Wendle is off to a scorching start with the bat through his first 74 plate appearances, hitting .338/.405/.508, though once his .420 BABIP comes down to earth his numbers will likely look considerably less impressive.
