Rengifo (wrist) will start at third base and bat leadoff Friday versus the White Sox in his Cactus League debut, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo came into camp without restrictions following last August's right wrist surgery, but the Angels elected to hold him out of game action until now. The switch hitter is playing third base in his spring debut and is likely to bounce around in a super utility role in 2025.

Rengifo (wrist) said Tuesday that he began his normal offseason training in late December and is entering spring training without limitations, Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo underwent right wrist surgery last August but appears to be 100 percent recovered at the beginning of camp. The switch hitter should be an everyday player for the Angels in 2025, although it might not necessarily be at one position. Rengifo saw most of his action in 2024 at second and third base, but he's also capable of handling shortstop and all three outfield spots.

Rengifo (wrist) will earn $5.95 million in 2025 after winning his arbitration case against the Angels, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two sides were only $150,000 apart when they filed last month, but they went to a hearing and Rengifo's side emerged victorious. Rengifo -- who is expected to be ready for spring training after right wrist surgery last August -- is likely headed for a super utility role with the Angels again in 2025.

The Angels transferred Rengifo (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's move is purely transactional, as Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his right wrist Aug. 6. His switch to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Cisnero (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Rengifo is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2025.

Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his wrist Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo landed on the injured list Saturday due to right wrist inflammation -- the second time this season his wrist has caused him to spend time on the IL. The timing of his procedure will put an early end to his 2024 campaign, but he is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. He'll finish with a .300/.347/.417 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI and 24 steals across 78 games.

Rengifo (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo had his right wrist injury flare up in Friday's loss to the Mets and he'll now be forced to miss at least 10 games as a result. In the meantime, infielder Charles Leblanc had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake, replacing Rengifo on the Angels' major-league roster Saturday.

Rengifo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo was removed from Friday's 5-1 loss early with right wrist irritation and he'll be forced to sit out Saturday. Brandon Drury will slide over to third base while Michael Stefanic enters the lineup at second base and bats ninth against New York.

Rengifo was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to wrist irritation.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo returned to the starting lineup Friday after missing Thursday's contest due to a flareup of his right wrist injury. He didn't seem very comfortable at the plate, however, and he struck out during both of his at-bats. Given his recent history with wrist problems, the Angels may consider placing him back on the injured list.

Rengifo (wrist) will start at third base and bat second Friday against the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo hurt his wrist during a swing Wednesday and had to sit out Thursday's contest as a result, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's game. The 27-year-old has gone 6-for-30 with five RBI and five runs scored in eight games since returning from the injured list July 23.

Rengifo (wrist) isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Rockies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rengifo made an early exit from Wednesday's game after injuring his wrist on a swing. He's reportedly feeling better ahead of Thursday's contest, but he will step out of the lineup for a day as a precaution. In his absence, Brandon Drury will shift to third base while Michael Stefanic starts at the keystone and bats second.
