Rendon (triceps) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old exited Monday's contest with a triceps issue and will be sidelined for at least one game. Rendon should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated, and it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. Kean Wong will fill in at the hot corner for the Halos.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said after Monday's 8-5 loss to the Athletics that Rendon was removed in the seventh inning after he "felt something in his triceps" when he made a diving play at third base, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon went 1-for-3 with a base hit before being replaced at third base by Kean Wong. The injury in question occurred in the fifth, when he was unable to get a glove on Chad Pinder's liner down the third-base line that went for a double. Maddon admitted that the Angels are unsure about the severity of Rendon's injury, so the 31-year-old will presumably be reevaluated Tuesday before the team provides an update on his status.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI Saturday in an 8-7 win against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon put the Angels on the board in the fourth inning, slugging a solo homer to left field. He plated another two runs with a double in the following frame and tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The third baseman snapped a 27-game, 102-at-bat stretch without a home run, the second-longest power drought of his career. He is slashing .241/.317/.370 with four homers and 30 RBI on the season.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a double, a RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon was quiet in his first three at-bats before scoring in the eighth inning and knocking in Justin Upton in the ninth frame on a double. The third baseman is slashing just .236/.311/.347 with three home runs, 22 RBI and 15 runs in 161 plate appearances in his age-31 season. He has picked up the slack recently with three multi-hit games in his last five contests.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon remains without a home run in his 19 games since returning from the injured list May 14, but the veteran third baseman at least stepped up as a run producer in the Angels' resounding win. The five RBI exceeded his combined total (three) from the aforementioned 19-game period, which illustrates Rendon's prolonged slump at plate of late, as well as the Angels' collective struggles as an offense. The Halos will likely remain one of baseball's weaker lineups so long as Mike Trout (calf) is on the shelf, but Rendon still looks like a decent buy-low candidate, given that he's currently sitting on a career-low .257 BABIP, along with the fact that his strikeout rate (16.8 percent) isn't up dramatically from past seasons.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon entered Monday's game in a 1-for-11 skid since he was activated off the injured list but knocked three singles against Cleveland. He raised his season slash line to .274/.349/.425 with 12 RBI through 83 plate appearances. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1.

Rendon (knee) was activated off the injured list Friday and will be in the lineup against the Red Sox, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon's bruised left knee will wind up sidelining him for the minimum 10 days. He'd previously spent time on the injured list with a groin injury. Those absences have limited him to just 15 games this season, in which he's hit .276/.348/.466.

Rendon (knee) said there's a chance he could be activated from the injured list during the three-game series at Boston this weekend, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old resumed light baseball activities Monday, so it's a bit of a surprise to hear a return this weekend is a realistic possibility. Rendon did some jogging Tuesday and had no issues while fielding grounders and taking swings Monday. He'll likely need to ramp up his progression over the next few days to have a chance of playing against the Red Sox.

Rendon (knee) has resumed light baseball activities, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bruised left knee Wednesday, and manager Joe Maddon has said that the third baseman could return when he's first eligible Friday. Rendon will take grounders Monday and could continue to ramp up his activities in the coming days.

Manager Joe Maddon said it's "not out of the question" Rendon (knee) is activated from the injured list when first eligible Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old is only a couple days removed from being placed on the injured list with a bruised left knee, and it's a good sign he hasn't been ruled out beyond the 10-day minimum. Rendon may still end up spending more than 10 days on the shelf, but it doesn't appear he's ticketed for a lengthy absence.
