Rendon said Friday that he has a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon landed on the injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but it appears his injury is more severe than the Angels initially thought. There is no timetable in place for his return, but he will certainly be sidelined for longer than the 10-day minimum. Miguel Sano has been serving as Los Angeles' primary third baseman since Rendon got injured and should continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon suffered the injury during Saturday's game against Cincinnati and will be unavailable for at least the next 10 days. The Halos selected Ehire Adrianza from Triple-A Salt Lake to bolster their infield depth, though it'll likely be Luis Rengifo and Miguel Sano, who is starting Sunday, that fill in at third base.

Rendon said after exiting Saturday's game against the Reds that his left hamstring is feeling "not too great," Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon tweaked the hamstring on the first play of the game and had to be removed for a pinch runner. It certainly sounds like a stint on the injured list could be in the offing, but the Angels could wait to see how Rendon feels Sunday before making a decision. If Rendon does need to miss time, Luis Rengifo would probably see the most action at third base, with Miguel Sano also a possibility to be mixed in there.

Rendon departed Saturday's game in Cincinnati with a hamstring injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon led off the game with an infield single but then immediately had to be lifted for a pinch-runner. It's not clear at this point whether an MRI will be required, but the Angels should offer more clarity on his injury situation after the game. While he hasn't hit for much power at all, Rendon has been productive over the last couple weeks, coming into action Saturday hitting .381/.438/.429 over his last 10 games.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs in Monday's 7-3 victory versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon notched his fourth straight multi-hit game Monday, and he's now batting .263 on the season. That's an impressive climb considering that the veteran third baseman began the campaign hitless through his first 21 at-bats. Rendon is batting a robust .480 over his past six contests, and he's reached base via hit or walk in nine consecutive games. However, his role as the Angels' leadoff hitter has limited his run-production opportunities -- on the season, he has just one RBI.

Rendon isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran third baseman appears to be receiving some routine maintenance in the series finale. Miguel Sano will handle the hot corner Wednesday while Rendon takes a seat.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs in Monday's 7-1 victory over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon got off to an 0-for-21 start to the season at the plate, but he's now working on a modest four-game hitting streak and has six hits over his past 18 at-bats. The veteran third baseman still hasn't homered or driven in a run, though he's knocked a double in consecutive contests. The Angels have stuck with Rendon as their leadoff hitter through his rough start, and he could get a chance to score a decent amount of runs if he continues to perk up at the plate with Mike Trout batting two slots behind him.

Rendon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon batted leadoff in each of the first five games this season but is still looking for his first hit. Luis Rengifo will take his spot both at the top of the batting order and at third base.

Rendon will start at third base and bat leadoff in Thursday's season opener versus the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Angels manager Ron Washington toyed with the idea of batting Rendon at the top of the order later on in spring training, and the veteran skipper decided to carry it into the season. Rendon will be followed by Aaron Hicks, Mike Trout and Taylor Ward.

Angels manager Ron Washington said he's experimenting with Rendon batting leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game since the team doesn't have an ideal option, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon wouldn't offer much speed at the top of the lineup with just two steals in each of the past two seasons, but he does have a career 11 percent walk rate. The 33-year-old has primarily hit third or fourth since joining the Angels in 2020, but his spot in the order at this point is really secondary. Rendon has played in just 148 games over the past three seasons, and even when available he hasn't been particularly productive with a .701 OPS.
