Los Angeles Angels Provide Injury Timeline For Anthony Rendon

The Los Angeles Angels, in the thick of the American League playoff picture, are reportedly set to get back third baseman Anthony Rendon next week.

The Los Angeles Angels are reportedly set to get back a big piece of their lineup next week. 

Reports indicate that Anthony Rendon will be activated next week as he has ramped up his rehab. He's been out with a groin injury.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register tweeted the following on Thursday night:

Anthony Rendon ran the bases and now he's about to take batting practice on the field. He had not done either of those things previously in his rehab from a groin injury. It's looking like he'll be activated next week. #Angels

Injuries have unfortunately been part of the story for Rendon since getting to Los Angeles. Signed to a seven-year deal before the 2020 season, he's never played more than 58 games in a season with the Angels (he did play 52 in the 60-game season in 2020). 

He was out to a promising start this year for the Halos, so his return to a lineup with Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani should be a welcome development. He's hitting .301 with a homer and 20 RBI through 30 games this season.

The Angels are currently 30-27 and in third place in the American League West.

Entering play on Thursday, they trail the second-place Astros by three games and the first-place Rangers by six games.

They open up a big series with the Astros on Thursday with the first pitch being slated for 8:10 p.m. ET.

Reid Detmers will get the ball for the Angels against Ronel Blanco.
