Rendon won't play Monday against the Nationals due to left shoulder soreness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon was initially slated to draw the start at the hot corner, but he'll take a seat due to the shoulder issue. He may have picked up the injury Sunday after being struck by a pitch. Gio Urshela draws the start at third and will bat seventh in Rendon's absence.

Rendon is hitting fourth and playing third base Saturday against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon's suspension has been reduced to four games and he'll begin serving Monday against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon was initially suspended for five games, but in return for him dropping his appeal the third baseman has the punishment reduced by one game. The suspension comes after Rendon was in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland where the third baseman grabbed someone by the shirt while attempting to strike them before leaving the field. He'll be eligible to return Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Rendon (knee) has been suspended five games and received an undisclosed fine for his role in an altercation with a fan on Opening Day in Oakland, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon appears to be appealing the suspension as he's in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners. The veteran first baseman was seen on video grabbing a fan by his shirt and then attempting to strike the fan while using some off-color language in the process. Even if Rendon wins the appeal, it's likely he'll miss at least a a couple of games at some point this spring as punishment.

Rendon (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon banged his left knee on the tarp during Saturday's contest and will be held out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale, though it was apparently a pre-planned off day for the veteran third baseman. He's expected to be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup Monday at Seattle. Gio Urshela will slide over to the hot corner with David Fletcher starting at shortstop.

Rendon may miss Sunday's game against the Athletics after receiving treatment on his left knee following Saturday's victory, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon crashed into the tarp during Saturday's blowout win. Blum reports that the injury wasn't considered serious, but the Angels may take precaution with the third baseman in the early part of the season. Fantasy managers will want to check the Angels' lineup before Sunday's game against Oakland before placing Rendon in their lineup.

MLB is investigating an altercation Rendon had with a fan following the Angels' season opener Thursday in Oakland, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A video has circulated around social media in which Rendon appears to grab a man by the shirt and exchange heated words with him. Rendon plans to discuss the incident Saturday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, and an MLB spokesperson indicated Friday, "We are aware of the video and we are now looking into the matter." It remains to be seen what fallout will come of the incident, but Rendon could face a suspension if the league determines one is warranted.

Rendon is hitting .444 (8-for-18) with two home runs this spring. He's appeared fully healthy this spring after a wrist injury limited him to just 47 games in 2022, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon will turn 33 in June and hasn't had a full healthy season since 2019 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). However, he's done everything this spring to give fantasy managers confidence he can end that recent trend.

Rendon (wrist) is feeling "fantastic" physically, Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels are hoping to get a little more out of their $245 million investment in Rendon next season following back-to-back injury-plagued years. It was wrist surgery that limited him to just 47 games in 2022, although he did make it back for a couple games in October. He'll turn 33 in June and hasn't had a full, healthy season since 2019 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). Fantasy managers in early drafts have been taking an understandably cautious approach, as Rendon has been going outside the top-200 picks.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier this week, Rendon made an unexpected late-season return from the wrist surgery he underwent earlier in June, serving a five-game suspension first before he was formally reinstated. He started at third base in each of the past two games and went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts. Rendon seemingly avoided any setbacks with the wrist in either contest, so he'll likely just be getting some rest as the Angels wrap up their season Wednesday.
