The Tampa Bay Rays placed Joey Wendle on the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled fellow infielder Christian Arroyo from Triple-A Durham.
Wendle injured his left hamstring while covering second base on a steal attempt during the sixth inning of Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros. Pinch hitter Brandon Lowe batted for Wendle in the bottom of the inning.
Wendle, 28, is hitless in seven at-bats this season. In 2018, he batted .300 with seven homers, 61 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 139 games.
Arroyo batted .264 in 53 at-bats with the Rays last season.
The 23-year-old was a key piece in the deal that sent Evan Longoria to the San Francisco Giants prior to the 2018 season.
