Atlanta signed Wendle to a one-year contract Friday.
Wendle was released by the Mets earlier this week after slashing just .222/.243/.250 in 37 plate appearances, but he has quickly caught on with their division rivals. The utility infielder made the All-Star team with the Rays in 2021 but has produced just a .604 OPS in three seasons since then. Wendle will provide depth all over the infield in Atlanta.
