Rendon (lower leg) revealed Friday that he was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia in August, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The injury had been called a bone bruise ever since Rendon landed on the IL in mid-July, but at least there is now a bit more clarity as to why he's remained on the shelf. Rendon just recently resumed baseball activities and seems doubtful to return to the Angels' active roster before the end of the season.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Jogs on field
Rotowire
Rendon (lower leg) did some light jogging on the field Friday, Doug Padilla of The Orange County Register reports.
This is further evidence that Rendon is finally making progress in his recovery from a bone bruise in his left shin. The veteran third baseman has also been running on a treadmill and hitting off a tee, though he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return. With the season quickly winding down and the Angels out of contention for a playoff spot, it wouldn't be surprising if Rendon has already played his last game in 2023.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Resumes baseball activity
Rotowire
Rendon (lower leg) has been hitting off a tee and running on a treadmill, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Rendon has been on the injured list since July 14 due to a bone bruise in his left shin, and it appears progress is finally being made in his recovery. Rendon will be eligible to return from the IL on Saturday, but given how slow his rehab process has been, there is no guarantee he makes it back before the end of the season.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Little progress
Rotowire
Rendon (lower leg) has not progressed to any on-field work, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
When asked whether Rendon's recovery had progressed, manager Phil Nevin stated, "It depends on which day you ask him. It comes and goes each day." Rendon was shifted to the 60-day injured list Friday, meaning he can't return until Sept. 9. However, his return at that point appears to be in doubt.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Transferred to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Rendon was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Angels manager Phil Nevin said in late July Rendon would be shut down from baseball activities for at least two weeks after it was discovered he had a deep bone bruise in his left shin. Now that he is on the 60-day IL, the soonest he could return is Sept. 9. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar will continue to share time at third base in Rendon's place.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Shut down two more weeks
Rotowire
Angels manager Phil Nevin said Saturday that Rendon will be shut down from baseball activities for at least two weeks after an MRI revealed a deep bone bruise in his left shin, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Nevin added that Rendon is dealing with bleeding in the bone, so the veteran third baseman will be rested until at least the first week of August until the team reassesses his condition. Rendon has been on the shelf since July 11 and can safely be ruled out through mid-August, given the buildup process that he'll require following the two-week shutdown period. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar should continue sharing time at third base for the Halos, though Luis Rengifo could be a factor at the position once second baseman Brandon Drury (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Yet to begin on-field work
Rotowire
Rendon (shin) had yet to resume on-field workouts as of Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
There have been very few status updates on Rendon since he landed on the injured list July 14 due to a left shin contusion that he suffered the week before the All-Star break. The 33-year-old has appeared in only 43 games for the Angels this season and is slashing just .236/.361/.318 when healthy.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: To IL with shin contusion
Rotowire
Rendon (left shin contusion) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 11.
Rendon was in the midst of a 4-for-47 (.085 average) slump over his last 14 games before suffering the injury July 4, and he apparently didn't show significant improvement over the All-Star break. Michael Stefanic and Trey Cabbage were added to the active roster to bolster the Angels' infield in the short term.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Sits again Saturday
Rotowire
Rendon (lower leg) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Rendon has been out of action since fouling a ball off his shin Tuesday against the Padres. The Angels' break starts a day early, so unless Rendon appears off the bench Saturday, he's already made his final appearance of the first half. Assuming his shin injury is nothing worse than a bruise, he should have ample time to heal by the time the Angels resume play next Friday versus the Astros.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Could return Friday
Rotowire
Rendon (shin) could return to the Angels' lineup as soon as Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Rendon is not in Wednesday's lineup after fouling a ball off his left shin Tuesday. The Halos aren't putting him on the injured list yet, though, because he could be ready after the off day Thursday. Rendon will be evaluated the next two days and if it's determined he does need to go on the IL, he'd be eligible to return the second game after the All-Star break.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Sitting out with bruised shin
Rotowire
Rendon (shin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Rendon had to be lifted from Tuesday's game in San Diego due to a left shin contusion after fouling a ball off his leg. The good news is X-rays came back clean and Rendon is still listed on the Angels' lineup card as a reserve, so it appears he'll avoid the injured list.

Rotowire
Rendon was pulled from Tuesday's game against San Diego with a left shin contusion.
X-rays came back negative after Rendon fouled a ball off his left leg. While it appears he avoided serious injury, a stint on the injured list isn't completely out of the question. Eduardo Escobar figures to see an uptick in playing time should Rendon sit out.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Homers in second game back
Rotowire
Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Rendon had one of just three hits for the Angels, leading to their only run against Ryne Nelson and two Arizona relievers. This was Rendon's second game back from a wrist injury.

Rendon was back in the lineup after missing two weeks due to a left wrist contusion. He took one free pass in four plate appearances in his return while slotting into the cleanup spot. Rendon should get ample run-producing opportunities hitting behind Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, though he's done little offensively aside from drawing walks this season, slashing .243/.363/.309 with one homer, 21 RBI and two steals.

Rendon has been eased along in his recovery from a left wrist contusion, which sent him to the 10-day injured list June 19, retroactive to June 16. It's looking like he might be ready for activation in the early part of July, but the Angels have not announced an exact timetable.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Plays catch on field Saturday
Rotowire
Rendon (wrist) was able to play catch on the field prior to Saturday's game versus the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters that Rendon's wrist continues to feel better. The infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list June 19 because of a contusion on his left wrist, and it's not known yet if he'll require a rehab stint before rejoining the club. Rendon is eligible to come off the injured list June 26, but fantasy managers will need to wait for updates and shouldn't assume he's back with the club on that date.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Goes on IL with bruised wrist
Rotowire
The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left wrist contusion.
Rendon missed each of the Angels' last three games due to the injury, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers. The Angels will be able to backdate Rendon's IL stint to Friday, so assuming he shows improvement during the upcoming week, he could be ready for activation when first eligible June 26. Luis Rengifo will likely continue to serve as the main replacement at third base while Rendon is on the mend.
