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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Rendon's status for Angels' opening series still day to day

Neither of the Los Angeles Angels' two significant free-agent signings might not be ready when their season begins on Friday in Oakland

Appears set as No. 3 hitter Castro appears to be manager Dave Martinez's first choice to fill the third spot in the Nationals' batting order, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Impact Martinez could shuffle things around against tough right-handers, but otherwise Castro seems like he will be hitting behind Trea Turner and Adam Eaton, and ahead of Juan Soto and Howie Kendrick -- potentially a very lucrative spot in the order when it comes to amassing RBI and runs. He won't fully replace Anthony Rendon's production, but Castro did post career highs in homers (22) and RBI (86) last season with the Marlins and now has a much better lineup around him.

Opening Day status in jeapardy 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.

Impact 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.
