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

Eduardo Escobar figures to see an uptick in playing time should Rendon sit out.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact Rendon took a pitch off his wrist in the first inning of Thursday's series finale against the Rangers.

Wrist being evaluated 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.
Impact 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.
JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Playing through hand injury Rendon has remained in Thursday's game against the Rangers despite suffering a hand injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.

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