Rendon (wrist) is not expected to return to the lineup until Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon missed Friday's game against the Royals after getting hit in the wrist Thursday against Texas, and it looks like he'll miss the rest of the series as well. Luis Rengifo will start at third base in his absence Saturday.

Rendon (wrist) is out of the lineup Friday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon took a pitch off his wrist in the first inning of Thursday's series finale against the Rangers. He's expected to avoid the injured list after undergoing a round of imaging scans and can be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is at third base and batting eighth Friday versus Kansas City.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Rendon has remained in Thursday's game against the Rangers despite suffering a hand injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Rendon is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis

Rendon was pulled from Wednesday's game for load management reasons, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Angels manager Phil Nevin implemented a load management plan for Rendon earlier this season, and Wednesday's exit was simply another instance of said plan in action. Rendon also made an early exit during Tuesday's contest and is now 0-for-6 since returning from his groin injury.

Rendon's early exit from Tuesday's game against the Cubs was not related to injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels brought in Jared Walsh as a defensive replacement for Rendon, with Walsh handling first base and Gio Urshela moving over to third from 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.

Rendon left Tuesday's game against the Cubs in the fifth inning, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-2 with a walk before exiting.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon's exit comes after he was activated off the injured list by the Angels on Tuesday, and it's not known if this is injury-related at this time. Jared Walsh has taken over Rendon's spot in the lineup with Gio Urshela moving to third and Walsh now playing first.

Rendon (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rendon landed on the IL on May 15 with a left groin strain and will forgo a rehab assignment to return to the Angels' lineup. Rendon was slashing .353/.400/.412 across his last five games prior to getting injured. His return will cause Livan Soto to be optioned to Double-A Rocket City.
