Angels Activate Anthony Rendon; Mike Trout To Return Monday

By Connor Byrne | April 26, 2021 at 5:10pm CDT

The Angels have activated third baseman Anthony Rendon from the 10-day injured and optioned infielder Luis Rengifo, the team announced. Rendon had been on the IL since April 12 with a left groin strain.

Now in the second season of a seven-year, $245MM contract, Rendon has continued to thrive since leaving the Nationals for the Angels in free agency. He was one of the majors’ premier performers last season and got off to a good start this year before going on the IL. So far, Rendon owns a .290/.378/.387 with one home run in eight games and 37 plate appearances. The Angels turned to Rengifo, Jose Rojas and Jack Mayfield at the hot corner over the past couple weeks, but no one from that trio has come close to replicating Rendon’s production.

In another piece of welcome news for the Halos, center fielder Mike Trout will return to their starting lineup Monday in Texas. Trout last played on April 22, when he suffered a bruised left elbow on a hit by pitch from the Astros’ Cristian Javier. Fortunately, the game’s preeminent player avoided a serious injury.

    Awesome news! Let’s hope we can beat the Rangers a few times and get a streak going. Like always…we will go as far as our pitching will let us. Go Halos!

    It’s sad that Mile Trout hasn’t played in meaningful baseball.

    He’s probably the greatest player of my generation but he’ll never win a WS with Arte Moreno as his owner.

    He’s not as competitive as other great players.
    Signing that extension without opt outs means, he’s ok never playing in October.

      Other than that time he did play in the playoffs

      He clearly is the best of this generation

      Arte is a problem

      He loves living here, was sold on an influx of talent from the farm that didn’t materialize, and got paid insane money. Doesn’t mean he’s not competitive.

      Its sad Jacob deGrom isn’t playing meaningful baseball. The Mets are squandering a generational talent.

      It’s sad Ted Williams only had one postseason appearance as well. The Red Sox just wasted that talent.

      It’s an old take dude. It’s not like the angels haven’t tried surrounding him with talent. A lot of it just hasn’t worked out. Of course the guy wants to win. He just doesn’t want to pull Lebron James moves to do it. It’s called loyalty.

      You dummies. The angels have a dope core and money coming off. He signed looking forward not looking backwards.

        These are many of the same dummies who said Ohtani was a bust.

          Ohtani isn’t a bust but it’s been a tough first inning tonight. Watch him hit an HR in the next inning or two and tie it up. Go Angels!

          I’ll take a 2 run double… this guys amazing. Go Angels!

          And scores from second on a single to tie it up.

      That’s a lame take. Being competitive in the baseball world of 2021 doesn’t mean he needs to go join the Yankees or Dodgers. He’s a loyal guy and he wants do win with HIS TEAM not just go jump on the bandwagon like a basketball player. Nothing wrong with that.

        If he wasn’t baseball’s golden boy, he’d be ripped for never winning.
        Kershaw got ripped for losing in October but at least he played in meaningful games.
        Mike Trout is a spring all-star, and he’s always home before the leaves turn brown.
