Absent from Opening Day lineup Rengifo is out of the lineup for Thursday's opening day matchup with the White Sox.

Impact The 29-year-old joined the Brewers on a one-year, $3.5 million contract in February, but it'll be David Hamilton that starts at the hot corner Opening Day. Rengifo and Hamilton seem likely to split playing time at third base to begin the season.

Likely to share time at hot corner Rengifo is likely to share playing time at third base with David Hamilton, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact McCalvy lists Rengifo as the Brewers' expected primary third baseman, but he also notes that it's possible the left-handed-hitting Hamilton starts Opening Day versus White Sox righty Shane Smith. Rengifo is a switch hitter but has historically been much better against lefties (.749 OPS) than righties (.665 OPS). A strict platoon is unlikely, as manager Pat Murphy figures to be fluid in how he doles out playing time at the hot corner. Prospects Jett Williams and/or Cooper Pratt could also push their way into the third-base mix at some point this season.

Former Angels infielder Luis Rengifo agrees to terms with Brewers, AP source says

FEBRUARY 14 • Associated Press

Signs one-year deal with Brewers The Brewers signed Rengifo to a one-year contract Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rengifo had a disappointing walk year with the Angels last season, slashing just .238/.287/.335 with nine home runs and 10 stolen bases over 147 contests. However, he hit a solid .273/.323/.431 across the three seasons prior to that and will turn just 29 later this month. Rengifo should be the new favorite to start at third base for Milwaukee, though he also offers the versatility to operate in a super utility role, if that's what the club prefers.

Blasts ninth homer Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Rengifo's playing time has picked up a bit while he has filled in for Yoan Moncada (ankle) at third base over the last few days, though Moncada was able to appear as a pinch hitter Thursday. Rengifo has gone 10-for-53 (.189) over 16 games in September while slipping into a utility role as the Angels get a look at some prospects in an injury-riddled infield. For the season, Rengifo has nine homers, 43 RBI, 53 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a .240/.291/.340 slash line, with that .631 OPS being his worst in four years.

Sitting in second straight Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact For the second day in a row, Rengifo will take a seat in favor of rookie Christian Moore, who will cover second base and bat fifth in the series finale. At 69-80, the Angels are effectively eliminated from playoff contention, so it wouldn't be surprising if the club moved Rengifo into a utility role over the final two weeks in order to open up regular playing time for Moore, who is viewed as the organization's long-term future at the keystone.

Late addition to lineup Rengifo will start at second base and bat sixth against the Mariners on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Rengifo was originally slated to have a day off Thursday while Chris Taylor mans the keystone. However, Taylor will now be sent to right field to cover for Jo Adell (illness), and Rengifo will start at second base. The 28-year-old owns a .577 OPS since the start of September and has logged just two hits in his last five games.

Early homer not enough Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Impact Rengifo made his mark early with a first-inning homer off Noah Cameron, but the Angels proceeded to squander the lead by allowing four solo shots. This was Rengifo's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 10, which was also the date of his last long ball. He hit just .196 with one extra-base hit, a triple, over the 19 games between homers. For the season, the versatile 28-year-old has posted a .247/.299/.348 slash line with eight homers, 36 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases across a career-high 129 games.
