Reaches three times, steals base Rengifo went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a 4-1 win Sunday over Oakland.

Impact Rengifo reached base safely three times Sunday, swiping his first bag of the season and hitting fifth in the Angels' lineup for the first time. He has been excellent since being recalled from Triple-A earlier this month and has a solid .313/.421/.438 batting line in 39 plate appearances. With five straight starts at the keystone, the 25-year-old appears to be Los Angeles' primary second baseman while David Fletcher (hip) is on the injured list.

Ohtani, Trout HRs back Sandoval in Angels' 4-1 win over A's

Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run, and Mike Trout added a solo shot while getting three hits and two RBIs in the Los Angeles Angels’ 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics

Gets fifth straight start Rengifo will start at second base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Tyler Wade is picking up a start in right field with Taylor Ward (arm) on the bench for the second game in a row, paving the way for Rengifo to man the keystone for the fifth straight contest. Rengifo has gone a respectable 5-for-16 with a home run in those past four games, so he could have a case for maintaining the everyday role at second base over Wade if Ward's injury proves to be a short-term concern. Wade has provided a .588 OPS on the season and likely profiles better as a utility player than an everyday middle infielder.

Swats first homer Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win against Oakland.

Impact The game was scoreless until the fifth inning, when Rengifo went deep to left field for his first homer of the campaign. The infielder added another RBI on an infield single in the sixth. Rengifo doesn't offer much power, but he's hit well so far this season, slashing .300/.382/.433 across 35 plate appearances.

Rejoins lineup Tuesday Rengifo (elbow) is starting at second base and batting sixth Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Sitting out Sunday Rengifo (elbow) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

Impact Rengifo was removed from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with a right elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. Tyler Wade will start at the keystone Sunday for the Angels.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with elbow contusion Rengifo suffered a right elbow contusion in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

Impact He was hit on the elbow by a pitch and later replaced by a pinch hitter. It sounds like Rengifo dodged a serious injury and is day-to-day going forward. He was sneakily having a strong season at Triple-A and briefly in the majors, so he could play up the middle somewhat regularly if he can continue to produce when he returns to the lineup.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hit on elbow by pitch Rengifo was hit on the elbow by a pitch in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the A's and eventually left the game, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact He is now hitting .286/.375/.357 with zero home runs, zero steals and a 3:1 K:BB in 17 plate appearances since getting the call May 8. Rengifo is still just 25 and hit .313/.384/.525 with four home runs and two steals in 24 games at Triple-A prior to getting the call. Matt Duffy pinch hit for him.

Up with big-league club Rengifo was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old missed out on the Angels' Opening Day roster but will now join the big club with David Fletcher (hip) heading to the injured list. Rengifo has a .313/.384/.525 slash line with four home runs in 24 games for Salt Lake this season, and he should fill a utility role while up with the Halos.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down by Halos Rengifo was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Rengifo competed for a role in the Angels' middle infield this spring and went 4-for-19 with a triple, a double, three runs, two RBI and three strikeouts across eight Cactus League games. He'll begin the year with the minor-league club but will be one of the top options to fill in as utility depth for the Angels in 2022.

Connects on sixth home run Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run, a walk and a strikeout in a 14-1 triumph over the Mariners on Saturday.

Impact Rengifo homered in the second inning, singled and scored in the third and walked in the fourth for his fourth multi-hit performance this month. The long ball was Rengifo's fourth of September though he's been a bit feast or famine with no other extra-base hits this month and only three walks despite a decent .262 average.

Opens scoring with two-run homer Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and another run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact The 24-year-old continued his productive month, taking Reynaldo Lopez deep in the second inning to stake the Angels to a 2-0 lead. Rengifo hit just .151 through the end of July and was sent to Triple-A in August, but he's bounced back in September by slashing .290/.343/.581 with three homers and seven RBI in 10 games.
