Rendon, who missed most of the 2021 and 2022 seasons with injuries, says he is hoping this groin injury isn’t serious but he admits other injuries have kept him out longer than expected.
BALTIMORE — This has been a familiar story so far for Anthony Rendon, and he’s as eager as anyone else to see the narrative change.
Rendon was out with what seemed like a minor hamstring injury in 2021, and while he was rehabbing he suffered a hip injury that led to season-ending surgery. He suffered a wrist injury last May, played with it for a couple of weeks, went on the injured list for two weeks, returned for a week and then had surgery.
Rendon had played 30 of the Angels’ first 40 games before leaving Saturday’s game when he said he couldn’t push the groin condition anymore. Soto, 22, hit .400 with a .996 OPS in 59 plate appearances in the majors last season. This year he started the season at Triple-A and then was moved down to Double-A when Fletcher went to Triple-A. Soto has hit a combined .170 with a .560 OPS in the minors.
“It’s crazy that they just decided to use them as guinea pigs in that league when we’re pulling players ,” Nevin said. “And we’re not the only ones. Other teams bring players from Double-A. We feel it’s important for some pitchers to be there and certain position players will be there. And it’s asinine that they’re using this ball there.”First baseman Jared Walsh was 3 for 8, with three walks and five strikeouts in his first three games of his rehab assignment at Triple-A.
