Luis Rengifo - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

At-bats in minors game Wednesday Rengifo (hamstring) will get some at-bats in a minor-league game Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Rengifo will not play the field or run the bases as he recovers from a hamstring issue, but this will allow him to get his timing down at the plate. The switch hitter has not been ruled out for Opening Day, but between him being eased into camp following last year's wrist surgery and the more recent hamstring issue, he's played just one Cactus League game.

Goes through on-field drills Monday Rengifo (hamstring) participated in on-field drills Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The extensiveness of the workout isn't clear, nor is Rengifo's effort level while going through drills, but that he worked out at all seems like a good sign after Angels manager Ron Washington said Sunday that the club would "back off" the switch hitter as he deals with a hamstring problem. The Angels have not yet ruled Rengifo out for Opening Day, but he has played just one game so far this spring.

Status for Opening Day in question Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that the club will "back off" Rengifo due to the hamstring injury and is unsure if the infielder will be ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger o...

Impact The 27-year-old downplayed the hamstring issue as a cramp after he was scratched from the lineup last Monday, but the injury appears to be a bit more problematic after he was scratched again Saturday. Rengifo has played in just one Cactus League game so far this spring has just two and a half weeks to get right before Opening Day against the White Sox on March 27.

Scratched from Saturday's lineup Rengifo was scratched from Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers due to hamstring tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Rengifo was removed from Monday's lineup due to the same issue, and it appears he needs more time to recover from the injury after initially being slated to return Saturday. The Angels will likely take a cautious approach to Rengifo's rehab schedule, given that he's been scratched for the same injury twice in one week, but it doesn't seem like he's in any jeopardy of being sidelined for the start of the regular season. Christian Moore has taken over for Rengifo at second base for Saturday's game.

In Saturday's lineup Rengifo (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Hamstring cramps have kept Rengifo sidelined since Monday, but he's fully recovered and is now set to make his second start of the spring. The 28-year-old projects as the Angels' Opening Day second baseman, though he may not settle in at just one position for the entire season.

Will be back in lineup soon Rengifo said Tuesday that the hamstring issue he's dealing with is merely a cramp and he expects to be back in the Angels' lineup soon, Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Rengifo is missing a second straight game Tuesday, but it sounds like he could be back in action any day now. The switch-hitting Rengifo is competing for the Angels' second base job this spring, although he might ultimately settle into more of a super utility role.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with tight hamstring The Angels scratched Rengifo from the lineup for Monday's Cactus League game against the Rockies due to a tight hamstring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Tim Anderson will start at second base and bat leadoff in place of Rengifo, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the Angels provide another update regarding the severity of the hamstring injury. Though a healthy Rengifo may not have a permanent home at one set position in 2025, he's expected to handle a near-everyday role while likely slotting near the top of the lineup against right-handed pitching.

Making spring debut Friday Rengifo (wrist) will start at third base and bat leadoff Friday versus the White Sox in his Cactus League debut, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Rengifo came into camp without restrictions following last August's right wrist surgery, but the Angels elected to hold him out of game action until now. The switch hitter is playing third base in his spring debut and ultimately could bounce around to multiple positions in 2025 in a super utility role.

No limitations in spring training Rengifo (wrist) said Tuesday that he began his normal offseason training in late December and is entering spring training without limitations, Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune re...

Impact Rengifo underwent right wrist surgery last August but appears to be 100 percent recovered at the beginning of camp. The switch hitter should be an everyday player for the Angels in 2025, although it might not necessarily be at one position. Rengifo saw most of his action in 2024 at second and third base, but he's also capable of handling shortstop and all three outfield spots.

Wins arbitration case Rengifo (wrist) will earn $5.95 million in 2025 after winning his arbitration case against the Angels, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact The two sides were only $150,000 apart when they filed last month, but they went to a hearing and Rengifo's side emerged victorious. Rengifo -- who is expected to be ready for spring training after right wrist surgery last August -- is likely headed for a super utility role with the Angels again in 2025.
