Four-hit outing in loss Fletcher went 4-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

Impact All four of Fletcher's hits were singles. His run came on a Mike Trout homer in the third inning. Fletcher also picked up his first steal of the year in the fifth. The 26-year-old has gone 6-for-11 with a walk in three games so far. He's not likely to produce in power or speed -- Fletcher had just six homers and eight stolen bases across 154 games in 2019 -- but hitting in front of Trout on a consistent basis will elevate his run total.

Remains out Sunday Rendon (oblique) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Oakland.

Impact The 30-year-old will sit for the third straight game to begin the season as he continues his recovery from the oblique issue sustained in summer camp. Rendon fielded grounders and took batting practice prior to Saturday's contest and is scheduled for increased work Sunday, so he appears to be trending toward his return. David Fletcher receives another start at third base in his place.

Takes loss in debut Manaea (0-1) was tagged with the loss in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against the Angels. He allowed four runs on five hits while fanning three in just 4.2 innings.

Impact Manaea couldn't complete the fifth inning and left the contest after giving up three runs on back-to-back RBI doubles to Andrelton Simmons and David Fletcher. Manaea will attempt to bounce back in his upcoming start on the road against the Mariners on July 31.

Officially not starting Rendon (oblique) isn't in the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Athletics.

Impact As expected, Rendon won't be part of the starting nine for the Angels' Opening Day matchup as he continues to deal with oblique tightness. He avoided the injured list to begin the season, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to rejoin the starting nine. David Fletcher will start at third base in Rendon's absence, leading off.

Ruled out for Opening Day Rendon (oblique) won't play Opening Day against the Athletics on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rendon's status heading into the start of the regular season has been uncertain while he's dealing with oblique tightness, but manager Joe Maddon confirmed Wednesday that he won't be ready for Opening Day. Maddon said that he could miss "a couple" of games but is still uncertain about a potential trip to the injured list. David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss could see increased roles in Rendon's absence.

Out for exhibition finale Manager Joe Maddon said Rendon (oblique) will sit out Wednesday's exhibition finale against the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Maddon termed Rendon as day-to-day while the third baseman continues to deal with oblique tightness, leaving his availability up in the air for Friday's season opener against the Athletics. If Rendon is on the bench for Opening Day or is forced to the injured list as a result of the oblique issue, David Fletcher and Matt Thaiss would be the next men up for reps at the hot corner.
