Looks poised to lose playing time Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Seeing steady work Rengifo will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Rangers.

Impact Since shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list July 28, Rengifo has emerged as the primary beneficiary.

Could benefit from expanded rosters Rengifo may make the big-league club if the 2020 season takes place with expanded rosters, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prior to the suspension of play, Rengifo was expected to open the season in the minor leagues. That could change with expanded rosters, particularly given his ability to fill in at multiple infield spots and be used as a pinch runner. Though Rengifo succeeded in only two of seven stolen base attempts last season, he displayed more encouraging baserunning skills with 41 thefts in 57 tries as a minor leaguer in 2018.
