Anthony Rendon Placed on 60-Day Disabled List Due to Injury
The Los Angeles Angels have officially announced that their star shortstop, Anthony Rendon, has been sidelined and placed on the 60-day disabled list (IL). Rendon’s injury occurred on July 5th when he was hit on his left knee by a direct shot.
The team disclosed on Thursday that Rendon’s anticipated return will come after September 9th. Unfortunately, this setback will result in a prolonged absence for the talented player.
Series of Injuries Hamper Rendon’s Season
The incident that led to Rendon’s latest injury happened during the 4th inning of a game against the San Diego Padres. Rendon was struck by a line drive off his own bat, resulting in his immediate removal from the field. This marks the third time this season that Rendon has found himself on the injured list.
The 38 million dollar man, currently holding the Angels’ highest annual salary, faced a five-game suspension earlier this year due to an altercation with opposing fans during the opening game. Additionally, he suffered a left groin injury in May, followed by a left wrist injury in mid-June when he was hit by a pitch. Together, these incidents significantly disrupted his season performance, resulting in a batting average of .236, along with two home runs and 22 RBIs in 43 games played.
As of now, the Angels will have to navigate the remainder of their season without the contributions of their prized shortstop. Rendon’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, and the team will need to rally together to overcome this setback.
