Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) could return to the diamond as early as Monday, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Angles skipper Ron Washington addressed the media on Sunday, July 7 and said that the 34-year-old faced live pitching over the weekend and plans to rotate him between the designated hitter spot and the hot corner until he is ready for full-time duties on defense. Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 21 due to a high-grade partial tear in his left hamstring. He was then moved to the 60-day injured list in May. During the early part of the campaign, the former World Series Champion held a .267/.325/.307 line with zero home runs and three stolen bases in 19 games. Rendon is worth a look in most standard leagues, as he should be penciled in the starting nine every day upon his return.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) is scheduled for live at-bats against minor-league pitchers on Friday and Saturday at Angel Stadium. Rendon could get anywhere from 15 to 20 at-bats each day. Despite having not played in a game since suffering a left-hamstring strain on April 20, it sounds like the Angels are considering activating the 34-year-old veteran from the injured list next week before the club heads to the All-Star break. The Halos are in even more need of infield help after just placing Luis Rengifo (wrist) on the IL on Friday. Still, Rendon will probably be eased back into action at the big-league level when he returns because of how long he's been out. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues can probably wait and see on Rendon after he hit .267 (20-for-75) with no homers and only three RBI earlier this year before getting hurt yet again.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) is on track to take live batting practice during this weekend's series against the Cubs in Chicago. Manager Ron Washington said prior to Wednesday's game against the division-rival Oakland Athletics that the club hopes Rendon will be ready to get on the field for the Angels' matchup against the defending-champion Texas Rangers on Monday. There is currently no plan for Rendon to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from a strained left hamstring. Although the 34-year-old former All-Star is hardly relevant in fantasy baseball at this stage of his career, he still projects as Anaheim's primary third baseman when healthy. Brandon Drury will be at risk of losing playing time in the infield upon Rendon's seemingly imminent activation from the 60-day injured list.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) was seen taking live grounders at third base on Friday and will now face live pitching on Thursday or Friday of next week, according to Michael Huntley of the Sporting Tribune. In addition, Angels skipper Ron Washington said he hopes Rendon can return to the diamond on July 8, when the Angels will start a three-game set against the Texas Rangers. The 34-year-old was shifted to the 60-day injured list on May 9 with a high-grade tear in his left hamstring. Prior to the injury, Rendon posted a .267/.325/.307 line with no home runs, three RBI, three swiped bags, and a 6:15 BB:K ratio in 19 games. When he returns, he should be expected to slot in as the everyday third baseman in Los Angeles, which will shift Luis Rengifo, who has been covering the hot corner, to second base.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) ran the bases on Monday for the first time as part of his rehab. There remains no timetable for Rendon to return from a serious left-hamstring injury, so fantasy managers in deeper formats shouldn't expect to see him back in the big leagues until sometime in the second half of the season. The oft-injured 34-year-old is probably going to need a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment as well before the Angels reinstate him from the injured list. In his four seasons with the Halos, Rendon hasn't played in more than 58 games in a single campaign after making his first All-Star team in 2019 in his last year with the Washington Nationals. Before his latest injury, he was hitting .267 (20-for-75) with no homers and three RBI in 19 games. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues should continue to let him languish on the waiver wire.

To make room on the roster for infielder Luis Guillorme on Thursday, the Los Angeles Angels transferred third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list. It means that Rendon won't be eligible to come off the IL until June 21. The 33-year-old oft-injured veteran is on the shelf yet again with the Halos after suffering a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring almost three weeks ago. We'll know more about a specific timetable for Rendon's potential return in another few weeks, but he's unlikely to be ready to come back when he's eligible to come off the IL on June 21. Luis Rengifo, Brandon Drury, Ehire Adrianza and Cole Tucker have all been options at third base for the Angels since Rendon's injury, and now Guillorme could get his shot after being acquired from the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) said he has a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring and doesn't have a timetable to return. The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list on Sunday, but the 33-year-old is certainly going to be out for an extended amount of time. Ever since signing a seven-year deal with the Halos, Rendon has mostly been in the trainer's room and has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball after recording a league-high 126 RBI and a career-high 34 home runs in his final year with the Nationals in 2019. Before the injury, he was hitting .267 (20-for-75) with no homers, three RBI and three steals. We wouldn't blame you for dumping Rendon to the waiver wire at this point. Miguel Sano has been playing third since Rendon went down, but Brandon Drury could also see time there moving forward.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday afternoon. The veteran infielder exited Saturday's game early after straining his hamstring while running out a single. It is unfortunate timing for the 33-year-old as he was just rediscovering his consistency at the plate. Ehire Adrianza was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake as a corresponding move, but it is more likely that Luis Rengifo and Miguel Sano see the majority of playing time at the hot corner. Rengifo is worth an add in any deeper leagues where he is available due to his multi-position eligibility and stolen base upside.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) exited Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds early with a hamstring injury. Rendon injured himself while running out an infield single. The 33-year-old came off the field with the trainers and was replaced by Zach Neto. Rendon found his groove at the place recently, slashing .382/.421/.833 with three RBI and five runs scored over his last eight games. The severity of his hamstring injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo and Miguel Sano should see an uptick in at-bats while Rendon is sidelined. Rengifo is a speculative add in all leagues after hitting .283 (15-for-53) with six stolen bases over 16 games in 2024.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe, third baseman Anthony Rendon and first baseman Nolan Schanuel are all on the bench on Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. Matt Thaiss is catching and batting eighth, Miguel Sano is at third base and hitting fifth, and Brandon Drury is at first base and batting in the six-hole for the Halos. Luis Rengifo is also at the keystone and hitting leadoff on Wednesday. Rengifo will gain some DFS appeal in this one while hitting atop the order. The 27-year-old Venezuelan infielder has been the odd-man out on the Angels' infield so far early this year, but he's been good when active, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles, two RBI and two stolen bases in 23 plate appearances.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is hitting leadoff for the Angels on Opening Day on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Corbin Burnes. Manager Ron Washington experimented with using Rendon in the top spot in the batting order in spring training, and now he'll be there for the first game that counts in 2024. The 33-year-old gets the nod to start for the Halos for lack of better options, really. Rendon doesn't have much speed but does possess good plate discipline with an 11 percent career walk rate, so the Angels will be hoping he can set the table for Mike Trout and company. Rendon could boost his counting stats if he sticks at leadoff all year, but he should really only be concerned about staying healthy, as he has played in a total of 148 games in the last three years.

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington said that he's experimenting with leadoff hitters, which is why third baseman Anthony Rendon was hitting first in the order in the Cactus League game on Wednesday versus the San Francisco Giants. Washington said that the team doesn't have an ideal leadoff hitter, but Rendon does have a knack for getting on base with a career on-base percentage of .367 and 11 percent walk rate in 11 big-league seasons. The 33-year-old has mostly hit third or fourth in his four years with the Angles, which have been marred by injuries. Rendon hasn't played more than 58 games in any of his four years in Anaheim, which has basically made him avoidable in all mixed fantasy leagues going into 2024.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) says he is feeling better and could take live at-bats on Thursday. He added he will be playing "soon". "It was more just soreness. We were just trying to prevent anything bigger, especially so early in camp," Rendon said. The veteran's tenure with the Angels has been plagued by injuries since he signed a seven-year, $245 million deal with the team prior to the 2020 season. He has played a total of just 200 games across four years (including the shortened 2020 season) with the Angels and has struggled in that time. Most recently, he hit .236 with two home runs and two stolen bases alongside a .679 OPS across 43 games in the 2023 season. His fantasy value is at an all-time low and he should be left alone in all formats.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) is going through a regular workout in camp on Wednesday. Rendon was shut down in spring training for a few days after having some groin discomfort on Sunday. It looks like the issue isn't too serious, though, so the 33-year-old veteran could return to Cactus League action by the weekend if he continues to progress. Still, it's been one injury after another since Rendon signed a seven-year deal with the Angels before the 2020 season. In his four years in Anaheim, he's played in only 200 games and has hit .249/.359/.399 with 22 homers and 111 RBI in 857 trips to the plate. His extensive injury history, combined with his decline in power production (most likely due to injuries), makes him hard to trust in mixed fantasy leagues at this point.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) has been dealing with some groin discomfort since Sunday, which is why he hasn't played in the Cactus League in a couple of days. Manager Ron Washington said he isn't concerned with the injury, though, and the hope is that Rendon is back in the lineup on Thursday. However, the Angels won't throw the injury-prone third baseman back out there until the pain is gone. The 33-year-old should hit in the middle of LA's batting order in 2024 and serve more as the designated hitter with Shohei Ohtani now gone, but how many games can fantasy managers really expect Rendon to play in? He's played in just 148 total games in the last three seasons combined. He still has great plate discipline, but Rendon has become untrustworthy in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (leg) will not return this season, according to manager Phil Nevin. The veteran third baseman has been doing baseball activities and receiving treatment at Angel Stadium but with the regular season due to end in less than 10 days, there's not enough time for him to make it back. Rendon is dealing with a fractured tibia in his right leg and should be ready to go for the start of the 2024 season. This wraps up another disappointing season for the 33-year-old in an Angels uniform. He finishes 2023 with a .240/.365/.322 triple-slash line, two home runs, 22 RBI, and two stolen bases over 146 at-bats. He's played in just 199 games out of a possible 648 over the last four years in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) relayed he has had a fractured tibia since he first got injured. Rendon found out weeks ago and said he isn't sure why the Angels didn't announce it. Either way, Rendon hasn't been a good fantasy asset for a couple of years and may not make it back by the end of this year. He hit .236 with a .318 slugging percentage through 43 games before the injury.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) got in some light jogging before Friday's game versus the Cleveland Guardians. The 33-year-old resumed baseball activity earlier this week and took another step forward in his recovery from a left shin contusion. Rendon hit the injured list on July 14 and was eligible for activation on Saturday, but his return is obviously not imminent. The former All-Star has three weeks left to ramp things up for a 2023 return in another lost season for both Rendon and the Angels. Redraft fantasy managers should probably have let go for a stronger stash already. Veterans Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar remain positioned to close the year in a timeshare at the hot corner.

The Los Angeles Angels transferred infielder Anthony Rendon (shin) to the 60-day injured list on Friday amid a flurry of roster moves. The move means that Rendon won't be able to return to the team until Sept. 9, at the earliest, after suffering a deep bone bruise on his left shin in early July when he fouled a ball off his leg. The Angels were planning to shut down the 33-year-old from baseball activities for a couple of weeks, and now he'll have a bit longer to heal up before possibly returning. Rendon has been a massive disappointment since coming to Anaheim in 2020, as he has a combined 22 home runs in just 200 games after hitting a career-high 34 homers in his final season with the Washington Nationals in 2019. Until he returns, Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar will continue sharing playing time at the hot corner.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) won't be back on the field anytime soon. He was recently placed on the injured list after fouling a ball off his shin earlier this month. The team said they have found internal bleeding around the bone bruise on his shin. That being said, the Angels plan to shut down Rendon for the next two weeks. The expectation is that the 33-year-old won't return until at least mid-August. Fantasy managers are beginning to lose hope that Rendon will contribute again before the end of the season.
