Angels' Hunter Renfroe: Snaps homer drought
Rotowire
Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to Houston.
Renfroe came into the contest having gone 20 games without a homer, so his seventh-inning solo shot was a welcome sign for his fantasy managers. The outfielder had maintained a tolerable .253 batting average and 21.7 percent strikeout rate during the homer drought, so he hasn't been been at risk of losing any playing time. Renfroe is up to 11 long balls on the campaign, putting him on pace to reach the 25-homer mark for the sixth time over six full big-league seasons (not including the shortened 2020 campaign).

Angels' Hunter Renfroe: Gets breather Wednesday
Rotowire
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Renfroe will head to the bench for the second time in four days while Mickey Moniak fills in for him in right field. Both Renfroe (.638 OPS in May) and Taylor Ward (.639 OPS in May) have offered similarly underwhelming production this month, and the two players may be temporarily stuck in a timeshare for one spot in the Anaheim outfield while Moniak has played well enough since his call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake to warrant a regular place in the outfield alongside Mike Trout.
