Rendon has missed a few games, fortunately, the injury appears to be minor. However, reintegrating him into the lineup is crucial for the team as he requires at-bats to regain his game sharpness.
Throughout the offseason, doubts have been raised about the veteran’s commitment to baseball, and this injury only fuels those speculations. Despite his eagerness to compete, he seems to fall prey to untimely injuries.
Earning a significant salary once more this season, the expectation is for him to meet performance standards. The Angels are relying on his contributions, although perhaps they should have tempered their expectations by now.
