Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, retroactive to September 8. This comes after manager Ron Washington initially expected Rendon to return from back soreness. Rendon, who signed a seven-year, $245 million deal in 2020, has struggled with multiple injuries throughout his tenure with the Angels, playing only 33% of their games since joining. His performance has significantly declined, hitting .218/.307/.267 without any home runs in 57 games this season. Rendon has expressed frustration over his inability to stay healthy despite trying various treatments. Given his injury history, it remains uncertain if he will return before the season ends.
