The Pirates released Wendzel on Sunday.
Shortly after dropping Wendzel from its 40-man roster to clear a spot for right-hander Noah Murdock, Pittsburgh opted to let the 29-year-old infielder get a head start on finding his next destination by cutting him loose rather than waiting for the waiver process to play out. Wendzel had spent most of the season at Tripe-A Indianapolis, slashing .230/.349/.461 with 10 home runs and two stolen bases across 261 plate appearances.

Pittsburgh selected Wendzel's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
Wendzel is a 29-year-old infielder whose lone big-league experience was a 27-game stint with Texas in 2024. He earned his chance with Pittsburgh with a good showing at Indianapolis, slashing .246/.360/.491 with nine homers, 34 RBI and two stolen bases over 211 plate appearances. Wendzel can play all over the infield and will likely fill a utility role while with the major-league team.
