Angels News: Anthony Rendon Injury Update, Dodging Media Amidst Recovery

Still no update on the Halos infielder

The Los Angeles Angels have gone through their fair share of injuries this season, and their latest one hurts the most. Halos third baseman Anthony Rendon has suffered an injury each year he's been an Angel, and unfortunately, he was bitten by the injury bug. Fans and people with the team were hoping that he could finally put his injury woes behind him.

The 32-year-old suffered a groin injury in mid-May, which has kept him on the sidelines for nearly two weeks. Initially, it was viewed as no big deal, but there is still no update on when he'll be back. 

Phil Nevin said that Anthony Rendon has progressed and will do some outside work today. He sounded optimistic.

Still no specific timeline on when he’ll return. Rendon declined to answer questions today.

There is no doubt this setback has left fans frustrated and concerned about Rendon's ability to stay healthy as a member of the Angels. Since joining the Angels in 2020, Rendon has only played in 187 games, including 30 games in 2023. 

Rendon's absence has undoubtedly had an impact on the Angels' lineup. His bat and defensive skills are sorely missed, and the team has struggled to find a suitable replacement during his absence. The Angels need Rendon's presence in the lineup to bolster their offensive production and improve their chances of winning games. It's a big reason why the Halos have failed to even sniff the playoffs and reach their full potential. 

Hopefully, the team can get him back as soon as possible, and he can get back to how he was beforehand. A groin injury can be a tough thing to come back from, so we'll see how long it'll take for Rendon to overcome it.
