Player Outlook
Luis Rengifo's wRC+ increased for the second consecutive season, but he was limited to 78 games with three IL visits. The first was for an illness with the others due to wrist inflammation. He underwent season-ending surgery to correct the issue in early August but is expected to be 100 percent in the spring. Rengifo's game is putting the ball in play. By design or otherwise, last season Rengifo increased his contact, hitting more line drives and grounders. His average benefited, but at the expense of power. However, with new manager Ron Washington wanting the club to run, Rengifo obliged with 24 bags, six more than he totaled in his first 448 games. He qualifies at second base and third base with the chops to dabble at shortstop. Rengifo will likely focus on the keystone this season, hitting at or near the top of the order. He'll still run, but with 37th percentile sprint speed and a 77 percent success rate, Rengifo will be challenged to match last season's pace.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Enough time to prep for Opening Day

    Rotowire
    Angels manager Ron Washington said Friday that Rengifo (hamstring) should have enough time to get ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Rengifo is back in the Cactus League lineup Friday after dealing with a recent hamstring issue. He was brought along slowly at the start of camp following last August's wrist surgery, and Friday's game will be just his second this spring. However, Rengifo still has just enough time to get ready before the Angels open their campaign March 27 versus the White Sox.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Back in lineup Friday

    Rotowire
    Rengifo (hamstring) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. A hamstring problem has kept Rengifo out of Cactus League games so far in March, but he played in a minor-league contest Wednesday and will join the Halos' lineup Friday. It will be just his second game this spring, as Rengifo was initially eased into action following wrist surgery last August. He still has enough time to get ready for Opening Day.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Playing in minors game Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rengifo (hamstring) will get some at-bats in during a minor-league game Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo will not play the field or run the bases as he recovers from a hamstring issue, but playing in the minor-league game 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 season's wrist surgery and the more recent hamstring issue, he's played in just one Cactus League game thus far.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Goes through on-field drills Monday

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

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Status for Opening Day in question

    Rotowire
    Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that the club will "back off" Rengifo due to his hamstring injury, and he may not be ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. 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 seen action in just one Cactus League game so far, leaving him just two and a half weeks to get right before Opening Day against the White Sox on March 27.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Scratched from Saturday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Rengifo was scratched from Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers due to hamstring tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. 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, but to this point there has been nothing to suggest he's in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season. Christian Moore will take over for Rengifo at second base for Saturday's game.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: In Saturday's lineup

    Rotowire
    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. 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.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Will be back in lineup soon

    Rotowire
    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 TheSportingTribune.com reports. Rengifo will miss a second straight game Tuesday against the Guardians, but he could be back in action by the end of the week. 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.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Scratched with tight hamstring

    Rotowire
    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. 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.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Making spring debut Friday

    Rotowire
    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. 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 is likely to bounce around in a super utility role in 2025.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: No limitations in spring training

    Rotowire
    Rengifo (wrist) said Tuesday that he began his normal offseason training in late December and is entering spring training without limitations, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports. 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 expected to get a look in the outfield this spring. Manager Ron Washington said he prefers Rengifo at third base over second base, but that he will see time again at both spots.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Wins arbitration case

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

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Moved to 60-day IL

    Rotowire
    The Angels transferred Rengifo (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday. The transaction is merely for procedural purposes, as Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his right wrist Aug. 6. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jose Cisnero (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Rengifo is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2025.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out for season

    Rotowire
    Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his wrist Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo landed on the injured list Saturday due to right wrist inflammation -- the second time this season his wrist has caused him to spend time on the IL. The timing of his procedure will put an early end to his 2024 campaign, but he is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. He'll finish with a .300/.347/.417 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI and 24 steals across 78 games.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out of lineup Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rengifo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo was removed from Friday's 5-1 loss early with right wrist irritation and he'll be forced to sit out Saturday. Brandon Drury will slide over to third base while Michael Stefanic enters the lineup at second base and bats ninth against New York.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Removed early Friday

    Rotowire
    Rengifo was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to wrist irritation. Rengifo returned to the starting lineup Friday after missing Thursday's contest due to a flareup of his right wrist injury. He didn't seem very comfortable at the plate, however, and he struck out during both of his at-bats. Given his recent history with wrist problems, the Angels may consider placing him back on the injured list.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Rengifo (wrist) isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Rockies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo made an early exit from Wednesday's game after injuring his wrist on a swing. He's reportedly feeling better ahead of Thursday's contest, but he will step out of the lineup for a day as a precaution. In his absence, Brandon Drury will shift to third base while Michael Stefanic starts at the keystone and bats second.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Exits with wrist injury

    Rotowire
    Rengifo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a flareup of his right wrist injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo was having problems with his wrist after a swing in the eighth inning of Wednesday's contest. No plans are in place to take him in for imaging, though that could change if his wrist is still bothering him ahead of Thursday's series finale. The 27-year-old was forced to sit out for nearly three weeks after he first injured his wrist July 3.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Logs three hits, steal in win

    Rotowire
    Rengifo went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies. This was Rengifo's first multi-hit effort in seven games since he returned from a bout of wrist inflammation. The infielder was one of four Angels with multiple hits in Tuesday's high-scoring contest. He's up to a .306/.352/.424 slash line with 24 steals, six home runs, 30 RBI and 41 runs scored over 76 games this season.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Nabs steal Friday

    Rotowire
    Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics. Rengifo is 3-for-15 with four RBI and one steal on two attempts over four games since he returned from a wrist injury that cost him most of July. The utility player still needs to work on his timing at the plate, but his bout of right wrist inflammation hasn't flared up again, as he's started three straight games in the field. Rengifo has a .308/.352/.432 slash line with six home runs, 29 RBI, 37 runs scored and 23 steals over 73 contests this season.
