Oakland Athletics second baseman Joey Wendle is absent from the starting lineup on Monday against the Detroit Tigers.
Wendle smacked a go-ahead grand slam in the 6th inning to win the game for the A's on Sunday. In 10 big league plate appearances he's batting .333 with a grand slam and 5 total RBI. However, Wendle will take a seat Monday with Jed Lowrie returning to second base.
Our Matchup Heat Map has the Athletics with a 5.08 implied total, which ranks 1st on the Monday slate.
