One of the most bizarre situations in MLB over the last several weeks has been Anthony Rendon and his refusal to provide any updates to reporters on the injury that has sidelined him since July 4.
The Athletic's Sam Blum noted the Angels have long said the former All-Star's injury is not a fracture, so it appears we might be migrating from a player vs. media standoff over the injury to a player vs. team one.
Rendon's status had previously been a sideshow in the Angels clubhouse, as he went to unusual lengths to avoid providing anything notable to the Angels media contingent about both the leg injury and other issues. Here's a sampling, via the intrepid Blum:— Sam Blum Anthony Rendon was in the clubhouse today when reporters were there for the first time during this home stand.So, no update from him on his injury.He then put on a hoodie and left the clubhouse.
As things currently stand, the highest-paid player on a team that employs Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani has been out nearly two months after hitting a career-worst .236/.361/.318 in 43 games and waited until Sept. 15 to allege the team has been basically lying about his injury, all in a season that was already a smoking trainwreck.
Rendon was famously injury-prone even before he signed with the Angels, but that issue is now reaching exotic new heights.
