Anthony Rendon Injury News & Updates

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Saturday that Rendon (lower leg) isn't expected to play again before the end of the season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has been participating in baseball activities since early September as he recovers from a fractured tibia, but Nevin said Rendon hasn't progressed enough to be activated before the end of the year. Rendon will finish 2023 with a .236/.361/.318 slash line to go along with two homers and 22 RBI across 183 plate appearances.

Rendon (lower leg) revealed Friday that he was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia in August, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The injury has publicly been called a bone bruise ever since Rendon landed on the IL in mid-July, and at least there is now a bit more clarity as to why he remains on the shelf. Rendon just recently resumed baseball activities and seems doubtful to return to the Angels' active roster before the end of the season.

Rendon (lower leg) did some light jogging on the field Friday, Doug Padilla of The Orange County Register reports.

This is further evidence that Rendon is finally making progress in his recovery from a bone bruise in his left shin. The veteran third baseman has also been running on a treadmill and hitting off a tee, though he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return. With the season quickly winding down and the Angels out of contention for a playoff spot, it wouldn't be surprising if Rendon has already played his last game in 2023.

Rendon (lower leg) has been hitting off a tee and running on a treadmill, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon has been on the injured list since July 14 due to a bone bruise in his left shin, and it appears progress is finally being made in his recovery. Rendon will be eligible to return from the IL on Saturday, but given how slow his rehab process has been, there is no guarantee he makes it back before the end of the season.

Rendon (lower leg) has not progressed to any on-field work, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

When asked whether Rendon's recovery had progressed, manager Phil Nevin stated, "It depends on which day you ask him. It comes and goes each day." Rendon was shifted to the 60-day injured list Friday, meaning he can't return until Sept. 9. However, his return at that point appears to be in doubt.

Rendon was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Angels Manager Phil Nevin said July 22 that Rendon would be shut down from baseball activities for at least two weeks after it is was discovered that he had a deep bone bruise in his left shin. That put him on target for a return in the first week of August at the earliest. With his conditioned reassessed, his return has been pushed to Sept. 9. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar will continue to share time at third base in his place.

An MRI taken Saturday on Rendon's left shin revealed a deep bone bruise, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin added that there is bleeding in the bone and said Rendon will need to rest for at least the next two weeks. He's been on the shelf since July 11 and can be ruled out through mid-August given the buildup process that will have to follow this two-week shutdown period. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar should continue sharing time at third base for the Halos.

Rendon (shin) had yet to resume on-field workouts as of Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

There have been very few status updates on Rendon since he landed on the injured list July 14 due to a left shin contusion that he suffered the week before the All-Star break. The 33-year-old first baseman has appeared in only 43 games for the Angels this season and is slashing just .236/.361/.318 when healthy.

Rendon (left shin contusion) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Rendon was in the midst of a 4-for-47 (.085 average) slump over his last 14 games before suffering the injury July 4. Michael Stefanic and Trey Cabbage were added to the active roster to bolster the infield in the short term.

Rendon (lower leg) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has been out of action since fouling a ball off his shin Tuesday against the Padres. The Angels' break starts a day early, so unless Rendon appears off the bench Saturday, he's already made his final appearance of the first half. Assuming his shin injury is nothing worse than a bruise, he should have ample time to heal by the time the Angels resume play next Friday.

Rendon (shin) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Rendon has been sidelined since fouling a ball off his left shin Tuesday in San Diego. He's appeared in only 43 of a possible 89 games so far this season with the Angels. Mike Moustakas is covering third base Friday at Dodger Stadium and Hunter Renfroe will get the start at first base.

Rendon (shin) could return to the Angels' lineup as soon as Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon is not in Wednesday's lineup after fouling a ball off his left shin Tuesday. The Halos aren't putting him on the injured list yet, though, because he could be ready after the off day Thursday. Rendon will be evaluated the next two days and if it's determined he does need to go on the IL, he'd be eligible to return the second game after the All-Star break.

Rendon (shin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon had to be lifted from Tuesday's game in San Diego due to a left shin contusion after fouling a ball off his leg. The good news is X-rays came back clean and Rendon is still listed on the Angels' lineup card as a reserve, so it appears he'll avoid the injured list. Eduardo Escobar is playing third base Wednesday.

Rendon was pulled from Tuesday's game against San Diego with a left shin contusion.

X-rays came back negative after Rendon fouled a ball off his left leg. While it appears he avoided serious injury, it's very possible the Angels hold Rendon out of the lineup for a day or two while Rendon recovers. Eduardo Escobar figures to see an uptick in playing time should Rendon sit out.

Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres after fouling a ball off his left knee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon immediately collapsed to the ground after fouling a ball off his knee and appeared to be in a great deal of pain. He had to be helped off the field by trainers and was replaced by Eduardo Escobar. More information regarding Rendon's injury will be available in the near future, but early signs aren't reassuring.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Rendon had one of just three hits for the Angels, leading to their only run against Ryne Nelson and two Arizona relievers. This was Rendon's second game back from a wrist injury. The third baseman has played in just 10 contests since the start of June, going 3-for-37 with a home run, two RBI and two doubles as he navigates another injury-plagued season. He's slashing just .243/.360/.329 with two homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases through 40 contests on the year.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in a loss to Arizona on Friday.

Rendon was back in the lineup after missing two weeks due to a left wrist contusion. He took a free pass in four plate appearances in his return while slotting into the cleanup spot. Rendon should get ample run-producing opportunities hitting behind Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, though he's done little offensively aside from drawing walks this season, slashing .243/.363/.309 with one homer, 21 RBI and two steals.

Rendon (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at third base Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Rendon will return to the Angels after a minimum stay on the 10-day IL with a left wrist contusion. The 33-year-old has struggled to a .067 average with two doubles, one RBI and three runs scored over 30 at-bats in eight games in June. Rendon will slot in as the cleanup hitter in his return to the lineup against Arizona.

Rendon (wrist) will take on-field batting practice Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon has been eased along in his recovery from a left wrist contusion, which sent him to the 10-day injured list June 19, retroactive to June 16. It's looking like he might be ready for activation in the early part of July, but the Angels have not announced an exact timetable.

Rendon (wrist) was able to play catch on the field prior to Saturday's game versus the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters that Rendon's wrist continues to feel better. The infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list June 19 because of a contusion on his left wrist, and it's not known yet if he'll require a rehab stint before rejoining the club. Rendon is eligible to come off the injured list June 26, but fantasy managers will need to wait for updates before assuming he's back with the club at or around that date.

The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left wrist contusion.

Rendon missed each of the Angels' last three games due to the injury, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers. The Angels will be able to backdate Rendon's IL stint to Friday, so assuming he shows improvement during the upcoming week, he could be ready for activation when first eligible June 26. Luis Rengifo will likely continue to serve as the main replacement at third base while Rendon is on the mend.

Rendon (wrist) is not expected to return to the lineup until Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon missed Friday's game against the Royals after getting hit in the wrist Thursday against Texas, and it looks like he'll miss the rest of the series as well. Luis Rengifo will start at third base in his absence Saturday.

Rendon (wrist) is out of the lineup Friday against the Royals.

Rendon took a pitch off his wrist in the first inning of Thursday's series finale against the Rangers. He's expected to avoid the injured list after undergoing a round of imaging scans and can be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is at third base and batting eighth Friday versus Kansas City.

Rendon is getting imaging done on his wrist after being hit by a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was unable to swing the bat after being hit by the pitch, though he was forced to remain in the game due to the Angels' having a shorthanded infield. The extent of the injury should become clearer after the results of the imaging are returned, and the Angels may be forced to dig significantly into their minor-league depth with Gio Urshela (hip) and Zach Neto (oblique) also sidelined.

Rendon has remained in Thursday's game against the Rangers despite suffering a hand injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was hit in the hand by a pitch in the first inning and has been unable to swing the bat since, as he's attempted only to bunt in his next two plate appearances. With Brandon Drury (suspension), Gio Urshela (lower body) and Zach Neto (oblique) unavailable, the Angels have Hunter Renfroe and Matt Thaiss as their only healthy bench bats -- forcing Rendon to stay in the game. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any time, though we should get a clearer picture once the team can make roster moves Friday.

Rendon is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Mariners, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon will get a day off after he went 1-for-7 with a double and two runs scored over the first two games of the series with Seattle. Luis Rengifo will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the rubber match.

Rendon is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.

Rendon has been making early exits from games since he returned Tuesday from a groin strain, and he'll apparently get a full night off Thursday. Gio Urshela is starting at third base and batting fifth versus the Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly.

Rendon was pulled from Wednesday's game for load management reasons, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin implemented a load management plan for Rendon earlier this season, and Wednesday's exit was simply another part of said plan. Rendon also made an early exit during Tuesday's contest and is now 0-for-6 since returning from his groin injury.

Rendon's early exit from Tuesday's game against the Cubs was not related to injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The Angels brought in Jared Walsh as a defensive replacement for Rendon, with Walsh handling first base and Gio Urshela moving over to first. It's a positive development this wasn't related to the groin injury that sidelined Rendon for three weeks as he was just reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Rendon left Tuesday's game against the Cubs in the fifth inning, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-2 before reaching via walk before exiting.

Rendon's exit comes after he was activated off the injured list by the Angels on Tuesday, and it's not known if this is injury related at this time. Jared Walsh has taken over Rendon's spot in the lineup with Gio Urshela moving to third and Walsh lined up at first base.

Rendon (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon landed on the IL on May 15 with a left groin strain and will forgo a rehab assignment to return to the Angels' lineup. Rendon was slashing .353/.400/.412 across his last five games prior to getting injured. His return will cause Livan Soto to be optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters before Sunday's game against the Astros that Rendon (groin) is likely to return Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Cubs, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Nevin implied that Wednesday is more likely than Tuesday for Rendon's return, but that it would almost certainly be one of those two days. The third baseman has been on the shelf since May 15 with a left groin strain, and it appears he'll skip a rehab assignment and instead return to handling the hot corner for the Angels in the early portion of next week. Rendon was playing well in the weeks prior to his injury, and he should go back to hitting in the middle of the Los Angeles lineup upon his return.

Rendon (groin) fielded grounders Thursday at third base, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Blum notes, however, that Rendon did not make any throws across the diamond. It's possible he's dealing with some sort of physical issue beyond the left groin strain that sent him to the injured list in mid-May. Nonetheless, the current belief is that he will be back with the Angels at some point during the team's next homestand, which runs from June 6-11.

Rendon (groin) is aiming to return next week during the Angels' June 6-11 homestand, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon has been upping his workouts of late, although he has yet to do any hitting on the field or running the bases. That should come soon, and it looks like he will not require a rehab assignment before being activated. Rendon was hitting .380/.484/.480 before straining his groin in mid-May, although he had homered just once.

Rendon (groin) fielded grounders Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It's the first time he's done so since he suffered a left groin strain in mid-May. Rendon is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis and is not expected to go out on a rehab assignment, so while it's not clear exactly when he'll be activated, it could potentially be any day now.

Rendon (groin) did some outdoor work Saturday, but he hasn't yet started fielding grounders, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

It's the second straight day that Rendon has worked on the field, though Blum noted Friday that the third baseman still has "no specific timeline" for a return. The third baseman is expected to travel with the Angels on their trip to Chicago that starts Monday, and he may begin fielding groundballs then. It's possible that Rendon could be activated by the end of that series, but an early-June activation seems more feasible.

Rendon (groin) is not expected to need a rehab assignment before returning, MLB.com reports.

Rendon has not yet taken batting practice on the field yet, but he went through agility drills Wednesday and has also done some swinging indoors. He's eligible for activation Friday and while he's not expected back on that day, it sounds like it shouldn't be long after that.

Rendon (groin) went through agility drills on the field pregame Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has also being doing some baseball activities indoors as he works his way back from a left groin strain. The veteran third baseman is eligible for activation from the injured list but seems likely to require a rehab assignment before returning. It's unclear when that might happen, although it does seem he's trending in the right direction.

Angels manager Phil Nevin was encouraged by the results of the MRI that Rendon (groin) received May 17, per MLB.com.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day IL on May 15 with a left groin strain, with the move being retroactive to the previous day. Nevin was optimistic when discussing the third baseman earlier this week, suggesting that his MRI results were encouraging and indicating that the Angels "don't think it'll be very long at all" before he is able to return. Rendon was hitting well prior to the injury, slashing .380/.484/.480 with a home run, nine RBI, 11 runs, a stolen base and an 8:6 BB: K over his previous 14 contests.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Angels on Monday with a left groin strain.

The move is retroactive to May 14, so Rendon will be eligible for activation May 24. Whether he has a chance to be ready at that time isn't clear at this point. Gio Urshela is starting at third base Monday in Rendon's place and should see regular action there for at least a couple weeks.

The Angels are expected to place Rendon (groin) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com relayed Sunday that the Angels informed infielder Livan Soto that he'll be called up from Double-A Rocket City ahead of Monday's game in Baltimore, implying that Rendon will head to the IL in a corresponding move after missing Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians with left groin tightness. Gio Urshela is expected to serve as the Angels' primary third baseman in Rendon's stead, while Soto and Luis Rengifo will likely share time at the keystone.

Rendon (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon will take a seat for the series finale in Cleveland after he exited early in Saturday's 8-6 loss with left groin tightness. The Angels appear to be viewing Rendon as day-to-day for the time being, with his availability for Monday's series opener in Baltimore seemingly up in the air. Gio Urshela will spell Rendon at third base Sunday.

Rendon was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians with left groin tightness.

Rendon was replaced by Luis Rengifo with Rengifo moving to second base, Gio Urshela moving from first to third and Brandon Drury heading from second to first. Rendon should be considered day-to-day, but it seems likely he'll undergo further testing before his status is determined for the coming days.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 5-4 win over Cleveland.

Rendon recorded his eighth multi-hit performance over his past 15 games in the victory, and he's slashing .382/.500/.491 over that span. Only four of the third baseman's 21 hits during the hot streak have gone for extra bases, but he's still been able to knock in 10 runs and score 13 over the stretch. A big part of Rendon's recent success has been his discerning eye at the plate -- over the 15-game span, he's drawn 10 walks while striking out just nine times. His excellent hitting of late has raised his season average to .307, ninth-highest in the American League.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and four RBI in Sunday's 16-8 loss to the Rangers.

Rendon sat out Saturday's game with a sore thumb. It wasn't holding him back Sunday, as he opened the scoring with a three-run homer and added an RBI single in the third. The third baseman has logged multiple hits in six of his last 11 games. The long ball was his first of the season, and he's now slashing .291/.418/.360 with 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases through 25 contests.

Rendon (thumb) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon will return to the fray after he sat out Saturday's 10-1 loss with a sore thumb, which he suffered during a collision with teammate Matt Thaiss in Friday's 5-4 win. With Rendon back in the fold, Gio Urshela will shift from third base to shortstop for the series finale.

Rendon, who is out of Saturday's lineup against the Rangers, is dealing with a sore thumb after colliding with Matt Thaiss in Friday's game, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It sounds like a very minor issue, with the Angels giving Rendon his scheduled off day Saturday instead of Sunday as originally planned, per manager Phil Nevin. Gio Urshela and Jake Lamb are handling the infield corners.

Rendon is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The veteran third baseman has been hot at the plate, hitting .351 with nine runs and five RBI over his last 10 games. Rendon is still searching for his first long ball of the season.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Rendon went 1-for-7 in the first two games of the series against the Brewers. Gio Urshela will be the starting third baseman for Sunday's finale against Milwaukee with Jake Lamb hitting eighth and playing first base .

Rendon went 0-for-2 with two walks, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Rendon walked and scored in the first inning and then later walked again in the fifth and stole second first his first stolen base of the year. The 33-year-old has struggled to get going for the most part over the first month of the campaign, slashing .226/.353/.264 with just two extra base hits, 11 RBI, eight runs and an 11:9 BB:K over 68 plate appearances.

Rendon is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon will take a seat after going 0-for-7 in the first two games of the series against Kansas City. Gio Urshela is at third base and hitting sixth in his place.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After being scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals due to a shoulder issue, Rendon proceeded to start each of the Angels' subsequent five games to close out the week, going 5-for-15 with a double, five walks, three RBI and three runs. The veteran third baseman looks to be receiving some maintenance Monday, given that the series opener in Boston will begin at 11:10 a.m. ET. Gio Urshela steps in for Rendon at the hot corner.

Rendon (shoulder) is hitting fourth and playing third base Tuesday against the Nationals, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was a late scratch from Monday's lineup with soreness in his left shoulder, but he's feeling well to hit in the middle of the Angels' lineup against Josiah Gray and the Washington staff.

Rendon won't play Monday against the Nationals due to left shoulder soreness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was initially slated to draw the start at the hot corner, but he'll take a seat due to the shoulder issue. He may have picked up the injury Sunday after being struck by a pitch. Gio Urshela draws the start at third and will bat seventh in Rendon's absence.

Rendon is hitting fourth and playing third base Saturday against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon is returning to the lineup after serving a four-game suspension stemming from an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland. Gio Urshela moves from third base to shortstop, and Brandon Drury will get a day off with Luis Rengifo playing second base.

Rendon's suspension has been reduced to four games and he'll begin serving Monday against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon was initially suspended for five games, but in return for him dropping his appeal the third baseman has the punishment reduced by one game. The suspension comes after Rendon was in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland where the third baseman grabbed someone by the shirt while attempting to strike them before leaving the field. He'll be eligible to return Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Rendon (knee) has been suspended five games for his role in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon appears to be appealing the suspension as he's in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners. The veteran first baseman was seen on video grabbing a fan by his shirt and then attempting to strike the fan while using some off-color language in the process. Even if Rendon wins the appeal, it's likely he'll miss at least a a couple of games at some point this spring as punishment.

Rendon (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon banged his left knee on the tarp during Saturday's contest and will be held out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale, though it was apparently a pre-planned off day for the veteran third baseman. He's expected to be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup Monday at Seattle. Gio Urshela will slide over to the hot corner with David Fletcher starting at shortstop.

Rendon may miss Sunday's game against the Athletics after receiving treatment on his left knee following Saturday's victory, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon crashed into the tarp during Saturday's blowout win. Blum reports that the injury wasn't considered serious, but the Angels may take precaution with the third baseman in the early part of the season. Managers will want to check lineups before Sunday's game against Oakland before placing Rendon in their lineup.

MLB is investigating an altercation Rendon had with a fan following the Angels' season opener Thursday in Oakland, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.

A video has circulated around social media in which Rendon appears to grab a man by the shirt and exchange heated words with him. Rendon plans to discuss the incident Saturday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, and an MLB spokesperson indicated Friday, "We are aware of the video and we are now looking into the matter." It remains to be seen what fallout will come of the incident, but Rendon could face a suspension if the league determines one is warranted.

Rendon is hitting .444 (8-for-18) with two home runs this spring. He's appeared fully healthy this spring after wrist injury limited him to just 47 games in 2022, MLB.com reports.

Rendon will turn 33 in June and hasn't had a full healthy season since 2019 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). However, he's done everything this spring to give fantasy managers confidence he can end that recent trend.

Rendon (wrist) is feeling "fantastic" physically, Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports.

The Angels are hoping for a bounce-back season from their $245 million investment following back-to-back, injury-plagued years. It was wrist surgery which limited Rendon to just 47 games in 2022, although he did make it back late in the season. He'll turn 33 in June and hasn't had a full, healthy season since 2019 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 season). Fantasy managers in early drafts have been taking an understandably cautious approach, as Rendon has been going outside the top-200 picks.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Earlier this week, Rendon made an unexpected late-season return from the wrist surgery he underwent earlier in June, serving a five-game suspension first before he was formally reinstated. He started at third base in each of the past two games and went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts. Rendon seemingly avoided any setbacks with the wrist in either contest, so he'll likely just be getting some rest as the Angels wrap up their season Wednesday.

Rendon (suspension) was reinstated to the active roster Monday.

Rendon underwent wrist surgery in June and appeared likely to miss the remainder of the season, but he was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday and served his five-game suspension over the weekend. The 32-year-old will be available for the Angels during their three-game series in Oakland to close out the regular season.

Rendon (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and will begin serving his five-game suspension Wednesday against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 32-year-old seemed likely to be out for the season after he underwent wrist surgery in June, but he progressed to hitting against live pitching this week and will rejoin the Angels for the final week of the season. Rendon will first serve a five-game suspension stemming from a brawl with the Mariners shortly after the wrist surgery, and he'll be eligible to take the field for Monday in Oakland for the final three games of the campaign.

Rendon (wrist) batted against minor-league pitchers Tuesday and could do so again Wednesday or Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Interim manager Phil Nevin said the third baseman "felt good" after Tuesday's session as the Angels determine whether it's feasible for the veteran to play during the closing stages of the season. Rendon's return is complicated by the fact he must first serve a five-game suspension -- stemming from his involvement in a June brawl with the Mariners -- before being able to play in games, and time is running out with only eight games left on the schedule.

Rendon (wrist) took batting practice Monday and continues to target a return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was presumed to be shut down for the 2022 campaign when he underwent surgery June 21 to address a right wrist injury, but the 32-year-old has seemingly progressed far faster than anticipated. Even though the Angels have little at stake as the season winds down, Rendon is eager to play in a few games to close out the year to give him peace of mind about his health heading into the long offseason. According to Fletcher, the Angels' tentative plan is to activate Rendon in late September, assuming he remains free of setbacks as he ramps up his baseball activities. Once reinstated, Rendon will have to serve a five-game suspension stemming from his involvement in a late-June benches-clearing brawl with the Mariners. He would then play in handful of games to close out the season, perhaps making him someone worthy of picking up later this month in deeper leagues where he's available.

Rendon (wrist) has been participating in defensive drills and hitting in the batting cage, opening the door to a possible return by the end of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was thought to be done for the campaign when he underwent right wrist surgery June 21, but he's advanced far enough in his recovery to begin throwing and swinging a bat. Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad indicated that Rendon will be joining the team on its upcoming road trip and that there are plans in place to have the veteran third baseman increase his hitting, lending further credence to the feasibility of a return. While Los Angeles is far out of the playoff picture, there is motivation to bring Rendon back this season, as doing so could allow him to serve all of the five-game suspension he received for taking part in a brawl against the Mariners less than a week after his surgery. The team would need to prove to the league that Rendon is actually capable of playing in order to activate him, which could mean that he'd need to get into at least one game following the suspension.

Rendon took grounders Friday for the first time since undergoing wrist surgery in June, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Rendon isn't going to return this season, but his ability to begin some baseball activity at this point in his recovery leaves little doubt that he'll be ready for spring training in 2023. In fact, the veteran third baseman is expected to have a normal offseason without rehab. Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad echoed that point Friday, saying that he doesn't anticipate anything delaying Rendon's offseason.

Rendon (wrist) received a five-game suspension for his role in Sunday's brawl with the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon is out for the season due to a wrist injury, so he will be forced to serve his suspension to begin the 2023 campaign. Rendon will also be prohibited from sitting in the Angels' dugout for the next seven games.

Rendon underwent successful surgery on his right wrist Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon is on the 60-day IL and is out for the season due to the surgery. He's expected to be ready to return by spring training next year. The 32-year-old hasn't played more than 58 games in a season since 2019.

Rendon (wrist) was transferredd to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Rendon is out for the year after needing wrist surgery. First baseman David MacKinnon's contract was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Rendon (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday ahead of his season-ending surgery.

News emerged earlier in the day that Rendon would undergo season-ending wrist surgery next week, so a move to the injured list was inevitable. He'll likely shift to the 60-day injured list whenever the Angels need another 40-man roster spot. He'll end his season with a disappointing .228/.324/.383 slash line across 45 games. Jack Mayfield was called up to take his place on the roster.

Rendon will undergo season-ending surgery to repair his right wrist next week.

Rendon was initially labeled as day-to-day after aggravating his right wrist injury Tuesday, but he'll ultimately be forced to miss the remainder of the season. It's the second consecutive year in which the 32-year-old will require a season-ending procedure. Prior to sustaining his injury, Rendon slashed .228/.324/.383 with five homers, 24 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases over 45 games. Matt Duffy and Luis Rengifo should see increased playing time now that Rendon has been ruled out for the season.

Rendon (wrist) was unavailable off the bench Thursday against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Fletcher reported earlier in the day that Rendon was feeling better and could be available to pinch hit, according to manager Phil Nevin, but the third baseman was ultimately not ready to return to game action. Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after aggravating the right wrist issue, which first flared up in late May. Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reported Wednesday that Rendon could head back to the injured list if his wrist doesn't show improvement soon.

Rendon (wrist) isn't starting Thursday against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon aggravated his right wrist injury during Tuesday's game against the Dodgers and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Matt Duffy will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Rendon (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 32-year-old exited Tuesday's contest after aggravating his right wrist injury, and he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Rendon missed two weeks due to the injury before being activated from the injured list Friday, and the severity of the issue this time around remains unclear.

Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after aggravating his right wrist injury.

Rendon spent two weeks on the injured list with right wrist inflammation before being reinstated to the active roster Friday, but he aggravated the issue Tuesday during his fourth game back. The severity of the injury this time around is unclear, and it remains to be seen if the 32-year-old will require a return trip to the injured list.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Rendon was activated from the injured list prior to the game and started at third base while batting third in the order. The veteran worked a walk in his third at-bat but otherwise didn't make an impact offensively. Rendon is batting .237 on the season, putting him on pace for his worst average as a major-leaguer. He hit just .240 over 217 at-bats last season.

Rendon (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon resumed hitting in a cage while also taking groundballs recently, and he's been cleared to start at third base during Friday's series opener against the Mets. The 32-year-old was sidelined since May 27 but will reclaim his job as the Angels' everyday third baseman now that he's been activated. Over 41 games prior to his absence, he slashed .242/.335/.403 with five homers, 23 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases.

Rendon (wrist) has been able to hit in a batting cage in addition to taking groundballs, Trent Rush of Angels Radio reports.

Rendon continues to take steps toward a return, though a definite timeline for his activation remains uncertain. He went on the 10-day IL with right wrist inflammation May 27 and has already exceeded the minimum required stay. Matt Duffy and Tyler Wade have logged the most time at third base while Rendon has been out.

Rendon (wrist) took grounders before batting practice Monday, but a timetable for his return remains uncertain, the Associated Press reports.

Rendon has been showing improvement, and a recent medical evaluation indicated that he is healing as expected. The third baseman went on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation May 27 and is eligible to return, but it appears that he'll need additional time before rejoining the big-league club. It's uncertain if Rendon will need to go on a rehab assignment once he's able to play.

Rendon's wrist swelling and inflammation are subsiding, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was recently evaluated by a doctor, who found that the third baseman is healing as expected. He hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, but that could happen soon, according to Bollinger. Rendon remains without a clear timetable for a return.

Rendon is being placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was withheld from Friday's lineup due to the injury, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The 31-year-old has apparently played through the injury throughout most of the season, but he'll now miss some time after it flared up while taking a swing Thursday. It's unclear exactly how long Rendon is expected to be out, though he'll be eligible to be activated June 6.

Rendon isn't in the lineup Friday against Toronto due to a right wrist injury and is undergoing an MRI, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 31-year-old has apparently managed the injury throughout the season, but it flared up while taking a swing during Thursday's contest. Rendon's outlook should receive some clarity when the team announces the results of the MRI. In the meantime, he should be considered day-to-day.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has a .749 OPS and three home runs through 22 games in May and will take a seat Friday for the second time in the past four contests. Tyler Wade will man the hot corner while Luis Rengifo is starting at second base.

Rendon will sit Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

This appears to be just a routine day off for Rendon. He got off to a slow start at the plate this season but has hit .361/.425/.556 over his last 10 games. Matt Duffy will start at third base.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in a loss to Texas on Tuesday.

Rendon gave the Angels an early lead with his two-run shot to left field in the third inning, and he plated the game's final run with a single in the ninth. It was the veteran third baseman's third multi-hit performance over his past six games, a stretch during which he's slashing .400/.478/.650 with two doubles and five RBI. Rendon is slashing a more modest .230/.331/.405 across 148 plate appearances overall this season.

Rendon will sit for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The Angels won't ask all their veterans to play 18 innings in one day. Tyler Wade starts at third base in the afternoon contest, but Rendon will likely return for the nightcap.

Rendon went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 12-0 win over Tampa Bay.

The Rays were down big while being no-hit by Reid Detmers late in the contest, so they opted to bring in outfielder Brett Phillips to cover the eighth inning. Rendon chose to have a little fun of his own, stepping into the batter's box from the left side for the first time in his career. The veteran third baseman took the first pitch for a ball before driving a 54-mph Phillips offering 411 feet for his fourth long ball of the season. It was a bright spot in what has been a tough campaign for Rendon, who is slashing .206/.314/.373 through 121 plate appearances.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

Rendon homered off reliever Austin Davis in the top of the seventh inning. He later notched an RBI single in the top of the 10th inning before coming around to score on a Jared Walsh long ball. The 31-year-old now has three home runs and 11 RBI over 78 at-bats, though his .231 average still leaves much to be desired.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon is one of four Angels regulars sitting out for either rest purposes or a minor injury as the team concludes its four-game series in Chicago with an afternoon contest. Jack Mayfield will step in at third base for Rendon, who went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, two walks and two RBI over the first three contests versus the White Sox.

Rendon went 0-for-1 with four walks and a run in Sunday's 7-6 victory versus Baltimore.

Rendon's patience paid off throughout the contest, as the veteran third baseman reach base four time on free passes. Coming into the contest, he had taken six walks over 13 games. Rendon's on-base percentage was buoyed to .351 with his walk-heavy Sunday, but he is hitting a modest .200 on the season.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles.

He took Bruce Zimmerman deep in the seventh inning, but it was the last gasp of offense for the Angels on the night. Rendon is still looking to build some momentum at the plate, slashing .205/.319/.359 through 11 games with two homers and six RBI.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a run scored in a 7-2 win Tuesday in Houston.

Rendon singled and scored in the five-run fifth inning. He had missed the previous two games with a stomach bug. After starting the season 1-for-13, he has a hit in his last five appearances and is 6-for-19 over that span. The 32-year-old has just one extra-base hit on the season and is slugging .427 since joining the Angels in 2020.

Rendon (illness) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was a late scratch for Monday's contest due to a stomach bug, but he's back in the lineup a day later. The 31-year-old is off to a slow start in 2022 with a .185/.303/.296 slash line and 27.3 percent strikeout rate through eight games.

Rendon was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Astros due to a stomach bug, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was penciled in to start at third base Monday, per usual, but he was a late scratch due to the illness. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, so the 31-year-old should rejoin the lineup within a day or two. Jack Mayfield will start at the hot corner in his place.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon has a modest four-game hit streak during which he is 4-for-14 with a home run, three walks, three RBI and two steals, and he'll receive a day off Sunday. Jack Mayfield will start at the hot corner in the series finale at Texas.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over Texas.

Rendon drove in the Angels' second run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and stole second base following a walk in the seventh. The veteran third baseman has started slowly with a .185/.303/.296 slash line through 33 plate appearances, but he's given his fantasy managers some value with two thefts. Rendon didn't even attempt a stolen base in either of his previous two campaigns.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

He turned on an inside slider from Tanner Scott in the sixth inning to give the Angels a 3-1 lead. The blast was Rendon's first of the season, and after an injury-plagued 2021, the 31-year-old is hoping to return to the form that saw him post an OPS better than .900 in four straight seasons from 2017-20.

Rendon is not in Sunday's starting lineup against the Astros, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon started each of the team's first three games of the season, collecting one hit and walking twice across 11 plate appearances. He's in line for some routine rest, so Jack Mayfield will enter the lineup at third base and hit fourth.

Rendon is expected to play in his first spring training game Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon's arrival at camp was slightly delayed, but as has been previously reported, it shouldn't have much of an impact on his status for Opening Day. The 31-year-old is in pursuit of a bounce-back season after appearing in only 58 games during the 2021 campaign due to a hamstring injury, struggling to a .240 average with six homers and 34 RBI over that stretch.

Rendon (personal) reported to camp Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was absent for the start of camp for personal reasons, but it turns out that he'll miss just a single day. His preparation for the upcoming season shouldn't be meaningfully affected.

Rendon's arrival at camp has been delayed due to personal reasons, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The exact reason for Rendon's absence and his expected arrival date are not yet clear. If he reports soon, he'll likely have no issues getting ready for Opening Day, but it's possible he misses time if the delay stretches on.

Rendon (hamstring) should be "full go" once the lockout ends and camp begins, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon struggled to a .240/.329/.382 slash line in 58 games to start the season before missing the entire second half due to a hamstring injury which wound up requiring surgery. Reports from early November indicated that the veteran third baseman expected to be ready for the start of spring training, and it looks as though he's continued on the right path, with the delayed start of the season buying him even more time to heal.

Rendon (hip) expects to be ready for the start of spring training next year, the third baseman told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Tuesday.

Rendon battled multiple injuries last season, hitting a modest .240/.329/.382 in 58 games before eventually undergoing hip surgery in August. Assuming he is indeed 100 percent for the start of next season, he'll have plenty of fantasy upside, as he produced a wRC+ of 140 or better in each season from 2017 to 2020. That said, he'll also be heading into his age-32 season and hasn't reached 150 games in a season since 2016, so he'll come with very real health concerns even if his offseason recovery goes well.

Rendon (hamstring) will undergo season-ending surgery to address a right hip impingement, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon had been on the injured list since July 4 due to a left hamstring strain, and he suffered a setback in mid-July. He continued to make slow progress recently, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the year due to a hip issue. The 31-year-old slashed .240/.329/.382 with six home runs, 34 RBI and 24 runs across 58 games during his second season with the Angels. Jack Mayfield and Phil Gosselin will continue to handle the duties at the hot corner.

Rendon (hamstring) has not restarted baseball activities and remains without a timetable for a return, per MLB.com.

The third baseman is coming up on a month since he last saw game action, but he "hasn't made any noticeable strides in his recovery to the point where he could take the next step in his rehab." According to the Associated Press, Rendon has been putting in work in the training and weight rooms, though that doesn't give much indication about the status of his injured left hamstring. Jeff Fletcher of The Orange Country Register notes that in a conversation with Angels manager Joe Maddon, Rendon didn't seem optimistic about his recovery.

Rendon (hamstring) is still on the mend and won't be ready to begin a rehab assignment this week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon suffered a setback earlier in the month, and it would appear he's still at least a couple of weeks away from activation, especially considering he'll require a rehab stint. He hasn't seen the field since July 4 due to a left hamstring strain.

Rendon (hamstring) recently suffered a setback in his recovery and won't return for several weeks, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon landed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain July 6, and manager Joe Maddon said that the third baseman likely won't return until late July or early August. While Maddon didn't sound too concerned about the setback, Rendon will require more time on the shelf before he's cleared to return.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to Monday.

The club initially sounded optimistic that Rendon would be able to avoid his third trip to the IL this season after he exited Sunday's game. He will wind up going back on the injured list, though thanks to the All-Star break, he could ultimately return July 16 after missing just six games. Jack Mayfield was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding roster move.

Rendon (hamstring) will not be in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The severity of Rendon's left hamstring soreness and whether he'll require a trip to the injured list is unclear at this time, but more details figure to come out following Monday's contest. In case Rendon does end up on the IL, infielder Jack Mayfield is with the team in Anaheim, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon (hamstring) may be unavailable Monday but isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon exited Sunday's win over the Orioles in the top of the sixth inning due to left hamstring tightness, but manager Joe Maddon sounded optimistic about the third baseman's status after the game. Jose Rojas or Phil Gosselin could see time at the hot corner if the 31-year-old misses any additional time, but he's considered day-to-day for now.

Rendon left Sunday's game against the Orioles due to left hamstring tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was removed from Sunday's game midway through the sixth inning, and he's apparently dealing with a hamstring issue. The third baseman will presumably undergo further examinations following Sunday's game, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Rendon exited Sunday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning for an unspecified reason, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk to begin Sunday's game, but he was replaced defensively during the top of the sixth inning. It's not yet clear whether his departure was due to an injury, but the Angels could update his status following Sunday's matchup.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and a run in an 8-7 win over the Orioles on Friday.

The third baseman notched his first three-hit effort since June 1 and belted his fourth double in his past six contests. His overall .242 batting average is well below his career norm, but Rendon has been slowly picking things up, slashing .281/.369/.449 with 19 RBI since the start of June.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Tampa Bay on Friday.

The third baseman helped the Angels get off to a strong start, blasting a solo shot to left field in the first inning. The long ball was his fifth this season and only his second since May 3. Rendon has been set back by multiple injuries on the campaign, and he has struggled to hit with consistency, slashing a disappointing .230/.304/.356 with 31 RBI and a 20:35 BB:K across 214 plate appearances.

Rendon (triceps) went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

The third baseman was the only Angels starter that failed to record a hit in Saturday's contest. Rendon had been out since Tuesday with a strained right triceps. Prior to the injury, he had hit safely in 10 of 12 games, but he may need a couple days to round back into form at the plate.

Rendon (triceps) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Rendon exited Monday's game against the Athletics with the tricep issue and hasn't played since. He's progressed throughout the week, however, and feels ready to rejoin the lineup Saturday.

Rendon (triceps) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Detroit.

Rendon is out of the starting nine for the fourth straight game after he exited Monday's contest in Oakland due to the triceps issue. The third baseman appears to be progressing, however, as manager Joe Maddon said that he could be an option to pinch hit Friday, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

Rendon (triceps) is not in Thursday's lineup against Detroit, but he is going through a workout on the field to determine if he can return Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon is not in the starting lineup for the third consecutive game, though he could return as a pinch-hitter Thursday. If things go well, it appears likely that Rendon will return at some point during the team's weekend series against Detroit.

Rendon (triceps) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Rendon suffered a right triceps strain Monday, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. However, manager Joe Maddon is optimistic that the third baseman won't require a trip to the injured list. Phil Gosselin will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday.

Rendon was diagnosed with a strained right triceps Tuesday, and manager Joe Maddon said the third baseman is expected to be out "for a couple days" but shouldn't require a trip to the injured list, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It's apparently not a serious strain strain, as Maddon said the outlook "is better than we had though." Rendon is out of the lineup Tuesday against the A's and is likely to sit again Wednesday, but he could be back on the field during the upcoming four-game set versus the Tigers, which begins Thursday.

Rendon (triceps) is not in the lineup Tuesday.

The 32-year-old exited Monday's contest with a triceps issue and will be sidelined for at least one game. Rendon should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated, and it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench. Kean Wong will fill in at the hot corner for the Halos.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said after Monday's 8-5 loss to the Athletics that Rendon was removed in the seventh inning after he "felt something in his triceps" when he made a diving play at third base, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a base hit before being replaced at third base by Kean Wong. The injury in question occurred in the fifth, when he was unable to get a glove on Chad Pinder's liner down the third-base line that went for a double. Maddon admitted that the Angels are unsure on the severity of Rendon's injury, so the 31-year-old will presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday before the team provides an update on his status.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI Saturday in an 8-7 win against Arizona.

Rendon put the Angels on the board in the fourth inning, slugging a solo homer to left field. He plated another two runs with a double in the following frame and tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The third baseman snapped a 27-game, 102-at-bat stretch without a home run, the second-longest power drought of his career. He is slashing .241/.317/.370 with four homers and 30 RBI on the season.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a double, a RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners.

Rendon was quiet in his first three at-bats before scoring in the eighth inning and knocking in Justin Upton in the ninth frame on a double. The third baseman is slashing just .236/.311/.347 with three home runs, 22 RBI and 15 runs in 161 plate appearances in his age-31 season. He has picked up the slack recently with three multi-hit games in his last five contests.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Giants.

Rendon remains without a home run in his 19 games since returning from the injured list May 14, but the veteran third baseman at least stepped up as a run producer in the Angels' resounding win. The five RBI exceeded his combined total (three) from the aforementioned 19-game period, which illustrates Rendon's prolonged slump at plate of late, as well as the Angels' collective struggles as an offense. The Halos will likely remain one of baseball's weaker lineups so long as Mike Trout (calf) is on the shelf, but Rendon still looks like a decent buy-low candidate, given that he's currently sitting on a career-low .257 BABIP, along with the fact that his strikeout rate (16.8 percent) isn't up dramatically from past seasons.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over Cleveland.

Rendon entered Monday's game in a 1-for-11 skid since he was activated off the injured list but knocked three singles against Cleveland. He raised his season slash line to .274/.349/.425 with 12 RBI through 83 plate appearances. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1.

Rendon (knee) was activated off the injured list Friday and will be in the lineup against the Red Sox, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon's bruised left knee will wind up sidelining him for the minimum 10 days. He'd previously spent time on the injured list with a groin injury. Those absences have limited him to just 15 games this season, in which he's hit .276/.348/.466.

Rendon (knee) said there's a chance he could be activated from the injured list during the three-game series at Boston this weekend, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 30-year-old resumed light baseball activities Monday, so it's a bit of a surprise to hear a return this weekend is a realistic possibility. Rendon did some jogging Tuesday and had no issues while fielding grounders and taking swings Monday. He'll likely need to ramp up his progression over the next few days to have a chance of playing against the Red Sox.

Rendon (knee) has resumed light baseball activities, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bruised left knee Wednesday, and manager Joe Maddon has said that the third baseman could return when he's first eligible Friday. Rendon will take grounders Monday and could continue to ramp up his activities in the coming days.

Manager Joe Maddon said it's "not out of the question" Rendon (knee) is activated from the injured list when first eligible Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old is only a couple days removed from being placed on the injured list with a bruised left knee, and it's a good sign he hasn't been ruled out beyond the 10-day minimum. Rendon may still end up spending more than 10 days on the shelf, but it doesn't appear he's ticketed for a lengthy absence.

Rendon (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old had an MRI come back clean Wednesday, but he'll still be sidelined for the next week-plus with a left knee contusion. Rendon will be eligible to return May 14, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Jose Rojas and Phil Gosselin are options at third base for the Halos in the meantime.

Rendon (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

The 30-year-old suffered a bruise on his left knee when he fouled a ball off his leg Monday, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game due to the injury. Phil Gosselin had his contract selected and will start at third base Tuesday for the Halos.

Rendon was diagnosed with a contusion after X-rays on his injured left knee returned negative following Monday's 7-3 loss to the Rays, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before he departed in the eighth inning after fouling a ball off himself. Though he required assistance off the field, Rendon was fortunate to avoid structural damage to the knee. The Angels are currently labeling Rendon as day-to-day and could send him for more tests, so his availability for Tuesday's game would seem to be in doubt.

Rendon (knee) went 1-for-3 with a solo homer before leaving Monday's game against the Rays.

Rendon went deep off Tyler Glasnow in the sixth inning but was helped off the field after fouling a ball off his knee in the eighth. He has two homers and eight during his current five-game hitting streak. The 30-year-old will be questionable for Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs scored and four total RBI in a 10-5 win over Seattle on Saturday.

Rendon contributed mightily to a big day by the Angels' offense, finishing with three hits for the first time this season. He knocked in a pair of runs with a second-inning double and later accounted for the team's final tallies with a two-run homer to left field in the fourth frame. The big game pushed Rendon's slash line to .269/.339/.423 overall. He has two homers and 10 RBI.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

Rendon stepped to the dish with runners on second and third in the first inning, and he delivered a two-run single. That was his only hit of the game as well as his first since returning from the injured list Monday. Through 50 plate appearances this season, Rendon is hitting .233/.320/.302 with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored.

Rendon went 0-for-4 with a walk and a pair of strikeouts in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

The veteran first baseman was clearly rusty after missing over two weeks with a groin injury, rendering him unable to join the Angels' 16-hit attack against Texas. He struck out twice for the first time this season but did draw his sixth walk of the campaign. Rendon stayed in the game for the entire contest, so it appears that he emerged without any setbacks and should be good to go moving forward.

Rendon (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Monday's game against the Rangers.

Rendon had been on the 10-day injured list since April 12 due to a left groin strain, but he'll play third base and bat fourth in Monday's series opener against Texas. Luis Rengifo was sent down by the Angels in a corresponding move.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Rendon (groin) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday or Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon wasn't able to make it back from the IL for the Angels' weekend series in Houston, but he appears to have made continued progress in his recovery from the left groin strain nonetheless. The Angels could put him through some sort of pregame workout Monday before deciding whether to activate him for the series opener in Texas or delay his return for another day. Jose Rojas and Luis Rengifo have been the primary replacements at third base since Rendon landed on the IL on April 12.

Rendon (groin) is likely to be activated in time for the team's series beginning Monday at Texas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon is reportedly very close to a return, though it appears the team will be cautious with one of its key players. As a result, he may miss the remainder of the team's series in Houston. Jose Rojas and Luis Rengifo should continue to fill in during his absence.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said that Rendon (groin) doesn't have a definitive return date from the 10-day injured list, but the skipper believes the third baseman is "getting really, really close" to being activated, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Maddon's comments came after Rendon went through some light pregame work on the field Wednesday, which included fielding grounders and throwing across the diamond. The Angels may want to see Rendon ramp up his running program before they're comfortable activating him, but he at least looks to be in the day-to-day stage of his recovery at this point. It's not out of the question for Rendon to make his return to the lineup at some point during the Angels' four-game series in Houston over the weekend.

Rendon (groin) began baseball activities Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was able to hit off a tee and did some light throwing and fielding drills. He got through the workout without issues, though it doesn't appear as though he'll be ready to go when first eligible to return from the injured list Wednesday. The Angels have yet to provide a clear timetable for his return.

Rendon (groin) has not resumed baseball activities since being placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The 30-year-old is eligible to return from the injured list Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll be fully recovered from the groin strain by that point. Rendon likely will need to resume baseball activities within the next couple days to have a chance of being activated Wednesday.

Rendon (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon felt something in his left groin Saturday against the Blue Jays. He was initially considered day-to-day but has since been diagnosed with a strain that's significant enough to cost him at least 10 days. Jose Rojas will start in his place Monday against the Royals and appears to be the top option at the hot corner in his absence.

Rendon (groin) is out of the lineup as expected Monday against the Royals.

Rendon sat Sunday against the Blue Jays due to a groin issue and was expected to miss at least one more game. It's unclear when he'll be back in the lineup, though he's at least joined the Angels on their road trip, which seems to suggest the team thinks he could be back soon. Jose Rojas will start at third base Monday.

Manager Joe Maddon said he doesn't anticipate Rendon (groin) will be in the lineup for Monday's series opener in Kansas City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was scheduled to sit out Sunday's game against the Blue Jays before it was ultimately rained out, but the Angels apparently aren't counting on the third baseman to fully move past the injury after one day off. The 30-year-old will travel with the Angels to Kansas City and is being viewed as day-to-day, but he'll likely need to demonstrate some sort of progress in his recovery during the remainder of the road trip to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Rendon is being held out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays after he "felt something" in his left groin during Saturday's 15-1 loss, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. "I don't know if he's gonna need more than one day," Maddon said of Rendon.

Rendon suffered the injury in question while making a throw across the diamond. The Angels are hoping that a day off will be enough to resolve the issue, but fantasy managers will still want to check back on Rendon's condition heading into Monday's series opener in Kansas City. Jose Rojas will spell Rendon at third base Sunday.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

In somewhat of a surprise, Rendon will head to the bench for the second time in 10 games this season. Despite the fact that Rendon has now been out of the lineup twice in less than a week, manager Joe Maddon hasn't suggested that the 30-year-old is dealing with an injury. Through his eight starts, Rendon is hitting .290/.378/.387 across 37 plate appearances.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Rendon's fourth-inning solo shot was a small murmur of protest against a Toronto team that ran away with a 15-1 victory, but it was nonetheless a welcome sign after the star third baseman had gone through his first 27 at-bats of the campaign without an extra-base hit. Despite the lack of power, Rendon has reached base at a strong .378 clip.

Rendon will sit Tuesday against Houston.

Rendon started the first four games of the season at third base, going 4-for-18 at the plate. The veteran will rest for Tuesday's afternoon contest, with Jose Rojas making his first career start in his absence.

Rendon didn't play in Friday's exhibition contest against Oakland, and the Angels plan to take it slow with him early in the spring due to a recent issue with general soreness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The organization doesn't appear to be concerned about the soreness Rendon felt at the start of spring training, and manager Joe Maddon emphasized Friday that the star third baseman is not injured. He'll likely ramp up as spring continues and should be a full-go by Opening Day.

Rendon (undisclosed) is starting Wednesday's Cactus League matchup against the Rangers.

Rendon was held out of the first few spring games of the season due to what was described as "soreness," but he'll play third base and bat fourth against Texas on Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, the 30-year-old should still have plenty of time to prepare for Opening Day following his brief absence.

Rendon (soreness) will likely play his first spring training game either Wednesday or Thursday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon has thus far been held out of action due to what has been described only as "soreness," but the issue appears to be a minor one given his looming debut. The veteran third baseman is slated to be a key offensive cog as the Angels' cleanup hitter behind Mike Trout.

Rendon won't play in Monday's Cactus League contest against the White Sox due to soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon is heading into his age-31 season and hasn't had a perfect health track record in recent seasons, missing 11.9 percent of his team's games over the last four years. There haven't been any indications that this particular injury is anything serious, however, so this is probably just an example of the Angels being extra cautious with their early-spring lineups. Rendon has plenty of time to get up to speed by Opening Day, which is now exactly a month away.

Rendon arrived at camp Monday, Trent Rush of Angels Radio AM830 reports.

There had been some concern that weather issues in Texas would delay Rendon's arrival, but he was ultimately able to report on the same day as the rest of the Angels' position players. The third baseman will look to build upon a solid first season in Los Angeles during which he slashed .286/.418/.497 with nine home runs and 31 RBI.

Rendon could have a late arrival to spring camp due to the inclement weather in Texas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

With much of Texas still dealing with the ramifications of a severe winter storm, Rendon is not guaranteed to be able to make it to camp on time. The delay -- if there is one -- is unlikely to affect the veteran's preparation for the coming campaign given that camp is still in its earliest days.

Rendon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Both Rendon and Mike Trout close out the year with back-to-back absences after the Angels were officially eliminated from postseason contention Friday. Rendon had a good fantasy season; his season was far better by real-world measures. In fact, Rendon currently sits fifth in all of MLB in fWAR (2.8).

Rendon will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The Angels are resting a few key players after getting officially eliminated from playoff contention Friday. David Fletcher moves to third base in his absence, with Elliot Soto serving as the shortstop.

Rendon 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 7-3 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Rendon smacked his ninth home run of the season in the first inning and the Angels never looked back. Rendon has seen his slugging percentage drop by over .080 points from 2019, but is carrying a career-high 16.8 BB percentage to compensate. His season average sits at .282 as the Angels welcome the Rangers starting Friday.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI on Wednesday against the Rangers.

Rendon delivered an RBI single in the opening frame and has now driven in six runners across his last four starts. He's put up a strong .291/.434/.530 line with eight home runs, 21 runs scored and 25 RBI across 168 plate appearances for the season.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Astros.

Rendon's eighth home run of the season was a two-run shot in the third inning Sunday, tying the contest up at 3-3. The 30-year-old slugger is enjoying a solid first season with the Angels, slashing .292/.425/.538 with 24 RBI and 15 extra-base hits in 160 plate appearances.

Rendon isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Rendon will get a breather for Saturday's matinee, but he should be available for Game 2. Franklin Barreto will start at third base in the first game.

Rendon isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Rendon went hitless in three at-bats during the first portion of the twin bill, and he'll take a seat for the second game. David Fletcher will shift to the hot corner with Luis Rengifo starting at second base.

Rendon went 4-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's loss to Oakland.

Rendon notched four singles in the contest, one of which knocked home the Angels' first run in the fifth inning. The performance extended Rendon's hitting streak to 11 games -- a stretch in which he has lifted his batting average from .103 to .321. The third baseman has collected multiple hits in each of his last five contests, going 14-for-22 (.636) over that stretch.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's loss against the Giants.

Rendon was dealing with a sore wrist Thursday afternoon and admitted he "didn't feel great" prior to this game, but that didn't seem to affect him as he notched his fourth straight multi-hit game. Rendon is currently riding a 10-game hitting streak in which he's hitting .486 with a 1.531 OPS.

Rendon is experiencing pain in his left wrist but doesn't expect the issue to cause him to miss any time, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon took a hard groundball off his left wrist in the third inning of Wednesday's matchup against the Giants but stayed in the game and produced a pair of hits. However, he was in noticeable pain after at least one swing and said Thursday that the wrist "doesn't feel great." Nonetheless, Rendon doesn't appear set to miss any games due to the issue, so he should be able to continue trying to build upon his current nine-game hitting streak.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's loss against the Giants.

The Angels offense went 6-for-33 against the Giants pitching, but Rendon produced two of those hits, and one of the team's two extra-base hits. The star third baseman got off to a slow start this season but has turned things around this month, and he is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak where he's slashing .469/.553/.1.031 with five homers, nine RBI and a 1.584 OPS.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers.

For the fifth time in six games, Rendon put a ball in the seats, this time taking Dodgers starter Dustin May deep in the fourth inning. In 18 games this year, Rendon has six homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and a .203 batting average. He's hit safely in the last six games, going 8-for-20 (.400) with six walks in that span.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

Rendon took Clayton Kershaw deep in the bottom of the fifth inning, and that was the hit the Angels could muster against the star left-hander. Rendon has endured a tough start to his Angels tenure, but he has been turning things around of late and is currently riding a four-game hitting streak while also homering in each of his last four games.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 8-4 loss to Oakland.

The 30-year-old brought the Halos within one run during the sixth inning with his solo shot to center field, but the offense was unable to muster any more runs. Rendon has struggled finding base hits early in the season, but he has a .406 OBP overall and went 5-for-11 with homers in all three games of the series against the A's.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Athletics.

For the second consecutive contest, Rendon produced a pair of hits -- including a home run -- following a six-game hitless streak that saw his average plummet to .103.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, three runs scored and two walks in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Rendon blasted a two-run shot in the bottom of the first and that would set the tone for the rest of his night, as he reached base four times while crossing home plate thrice. This was a much-needed performance for the slugging third baseman, who was stuck in a 0-for-19 slump prior to Monday's contest.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Rangers.

After homering in his first game as an Angel and notching hits in four of his first six contests, Rendon has gone ice cold. He has failed to produce a base knock in each of his last five contests, going 0-for-16 over that stretch. On the season, the team's prized offseason acquisition is hitting a paltry .111, though he has a healthy .373 OBP due to drawing 13 walks.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Rendon hit the ground running in his Angels debut after missing the team's first four games due to an oblique injury. While he was lifted for a defensive replacement in the ninth inning and the Angels may sit Rendon here or there in the weeks ahead out of an abundance of caution, this performance suggests the oblique is not going to hinder his production to a significant extent.

Rendon (oblique) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday against the Mariners.

Manager Joe Maddon previously said he expected the 30-year-old to make his season debut Tuesday, and he's now confirmed to be in the starting nine. Rendon missed the first four games of the season with the oblique issue, but he's now set to take the field for the first time with the Angels after signing a massive $245 million contract in the offseason.

Rendon (oblique) is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

This lines up with previous reports that he was close to getting the start Monday and wouldn't debut later than Wednesday. Rendon should assume a prominent spot in the lineup for his Angels debut

Renon (oblique) was in contention to start Monday against Oakland and will likely debut no later than Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon developed oblique tightness late in camp, but the fact that he was never placed on the injured list seemingly indicates that the issue isn't particularly serious. David Fletcher remains the starting third baseman Monday, but Rendon should appear in an Angels uniform for the first time quite soon.

Rendon (oblique) remains on the bench for Monday's game against the Athletics.

Rendon avoided the injured list to start the season after battling oblique tightness late in camp, but he's yet to appear in a game thus far. The fact that he remains on the active roster suggests his return is imminent, with manager Joe Maddon indicating he could serve as the designated hitter before he's ready to take the field, but it will be David Fletcher at third base again for now.

Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Sunday that he is considering having Rendon (oblique) return to action as the designated hitter before playing third base, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon took batting practice and fielded groundballs over the weekend, suggesting that his regular-season Angels debut is imminent. While the team could play it safe by having Rendon open in a designated-hitter role, the move would likely be temporary given his excellent defensive skills.

Rendon (oblique) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Oakland.

The 30-year-old will sit for the third straight game to begin the season as he continues his recovery from the oblique issue sustained in summer camp. Rendon fielded grounders and took batting practice prior to Saturday's contests and is scheduled for increased work Sunday, so he appears to be trending toward his return. David Fletcher receives another start at third base in his place.

Rendon (oblique) fielded groundballs prior to Saturday's game and reportedly felt good, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon continues to work his way back from the oblique issue he suffered near the end of summer camp. Manager Joe Maddon indicated that Rendon will increase his work Sunday, so the third basemen appears to be close to making his regular-season debut with the club. "He's definitely trending in the right direction," said Maddon.

Rendon (oblique) remains on the bench Saturday against Oakland but is feeling better and will take groundballs on the field prior to the game, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has been dealing with a tight oblique for just over a week. The issue never appeared particularly serious, and he avoided a trip to the injured list, so it sounds as though he could be making his Angels debut sometime soon. David Fletcher again starts at the hot corner Saturday.

Rendon (oblique) took swings and played catch Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon wasn't ready for Friday's Opening Day matchup against the Athletics, but he was able to get some on-field work in and remains day-to-day. Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that Rendon is progressing in his recovery. The 30-year-old didn't appear in any of the Angels' exhibition games while battling oblique tightness.

Rendon (oblique) isn't in the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Athletics.

As expected, Rendon won't be part of the starting nine for the Angels' Opening Day matchup as he continues to deal with oblique tightness. He avoided the injured list to begin the season, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to rejoin the starting nine. David Fletcher will start at third base in Rendon's absence, leading off.

The Angels included Rendon (oblique) on their season-opening 30-man roster released Thursday.

Rendon will at least temporarily avoid the 10-day injured list while he battles a tight oblique, but manager Joe Maddon has already ruled out the high-priced third baseman for the Angels' Opening Day game Friday versus the Athletics. The Angels' training staff will likely monitor Rendon's condition on a day-to-day basis before determining when he might be fit to make his season and team debut. David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss are expected to serve as the primary options at the hot corner until Rendon is good to go.

Rendon (oblique) won't play Opening Day against the Athletics on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon's status heading into the start of the regular season has been uncertain while he's dealing with oblique tightness, but manager Joe Maddon confirmed Wednesday that he won't be ready for Opening Day. Maddon said that he could miss "a couple" of games but is still uncertain about a potential trip to the injured list. David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss could see increased roles in Rendon's absence.

Manager Joe Maddon said Rendon (oblique) will sit out Wednesday's exhibition finale against the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Maddon termed Rendon as day-to-day while the third baseman continues to deal with oblique tightness, leaving his availability up in the air for Friday's season opener against the Athletics. If Rendon is on the bench for Opening Day or is forced to the injured list as a result of the oblique issue, David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss would be the next men up for reps at the hot corner.

Manager Joe Maddon is unsure if Rendon (oblique) will be ready for Friday's season opener against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The veteran third baseman was still dealing with oblique soreness Monday and is unlikely to play in either of the Angels' upcoming exhibition games Tuesday or Wednesday. David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss are likely candidates to fill in at third base if Rendon is unavailable to begin the season.

Manager Joe Maddon said he is confident Rendon (oblique) will be ready for Opening Day, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

It is unclear if Rendon will be ready to play in any of the Padres' three upcoming exhibition games Monday through Wednesday. Maddon said Rendon is feeling better but there is no timetable for him to return to exhibition play.

Manager Joe Maddon said Rendon (oblique) is considered day-to-day, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The veteran third baseman was scratched from Friday's intrasquad action with oblique tightness, and the team is remaining cautious only a day later. Rendon has no official timeline for his return, though Maddon indicated he could still be ready for Friday's season opener at Oakland.

Rendon was scratched from Friday's intrasquad matchup with oblique tightness.

Rendon was healthy over the start of camp while preparing for his first season in Los Angeles, but he's considered day-to-day after being scratched from Friday's intrasquad lineup with oblique tightness. The team should gain a better idea over the coming days as to whether the injury will impact Rendon's availability for Opening Day on July 24.

Rendon went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Sunday's Cactus League contest against the White Sox.

Rendon took Ross Detwiler deep in the first inning for his first homer in an Angels uniform. He was also hit by a pitch in the third inning and exited the game in the fourth after feeling soreness in his left hamstring, though Rendon indicated the soreness was merely a result of being struck by the pitch. He's scheduled for an off day Monday and should return to the lineup shortly thereafter.

Rendon (personal) is expected to return to Angels camp on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon flew back to his home state of Texas on Wednesday to be with his wife, who is set to give birth to the couple's second child. After taking a few days off to spend time with his expanding family, Rendon will return to Arizona to resume preparations for his first season with the Angels. Expect him to make his team and Cactus League debut at some point next week.

Rendon is expected to leave camp "for a few days" to be with his wife when she gives birth to the couple's second child, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The absence clearly won't affect Rendon's standing with the team or readiness for the regular season. The 29-year-old is expected to add a significant boost to the Angels' lineup after signing a seven-year, $245 million contract with the team in December.
