Swats third homer Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Rengifo tied the game at 1-1 with his seventh-inning blast off Mariners starter Marco Gonzales. While this wasn't a fourth consecutive multi-hit effort, Rengifo's homer was his first since May 31. His solid hitting lately has lifted his slash line to .235/.288/.368 with three homers, nine RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base across 147 plate appearances. The infielder should continue to play regularly at either second base or shortstop while Tyler Wade and Andrew Velazquez compete for playing time as his middle-infield partner.

Piling up hits Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a pair of base hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Rengifo will remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale with the Mariners, this time playing shortstop while Andrew Velazquez takes a seat. Rengifo has produced exactly two hits in three straight contests and looks to be locked into a full-time role in the middle infield.

Back from paternity leave Rengifo returned from the paternity list Saturday and will bat eighth and play second base against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Rengifo was away from the team for the last three days for the birth of his child. He'd been in a slump immediately prior to his absence, going 1-for-20 at the plate over his last six games, so the Angels will hope the time off allowed him to reset and clear his head.

While starting the previous 11 contests, Rengifo has slashed .295/.340/.409 with a home run and a stolen base.
