Anthony Rendon News
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) will likely come off the injured list for the club's next homestand, which will begin on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. The former MVP candidate has been on the IL since the middle of May after suffering a groin strain during a game on May 13. Before going down, Rendon was hitting .301 with 19 runs, 20 RBI, and two stolen bases, but with just one long ball over 30 games. It looks like the 25 home run power isn't there anymore, but the 32-year-old can still provide decent production in the batting average and counting stats departments.
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) took some grounders on the field on Monday ahead of his team's game against the Chicago White Sox. Rendon has been on the injured list since the middle of May but he is slowly ramping up baseball activities as he works his way back to the field. The veteran infielder is reportedly being evaluated on a daily basis as the Angels look to get him back into the fold. Rendon is hitting .301 with a homer, 20 RBI, 19 runs, and two steals across 130 at-bats in 2023.
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) started agility drills and swinging a bat indoors on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He seems to be on the right track, and manager Phil Nevin told reporters that the 32-year-old will likely avoid a rehab assignment and he should be ready to come off the injured list in late May. Rendon's provided mixed production with the bat this season, hitting .301 but with just a single homer, 19 runs, 20 RBI, and a pair of steals over 30 games. In the meantime, Gio Urshela will keep getting the reps at the hot corner. The 31-year-old has some deep-league value with his .299 average but has shown little power with just one homer and hits near the bottom of the order.

It's fair to say that Anthony Rendon's time in LA hasn't gone well. In three seasons, Rendon has played just 157 games for the Angels with the 47 he tallied last year being a career-low. And he wasn't particularly effective when healthy, hitting .229/.326/.380 with five homers, 24 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases. Over the last three years, Rendon has 20 homers, 89 RBI, 68 runs and two steals with a .252/.359/.420 (157 games) and if he managed that over a full season, Rendon would provide value on his ADP (~246). And it's not like Rendon has always been an oft-injured player as before the 2021 season, he spent a total of 24 days (two separate stints) on the IL across five seasons. But the fact the Angels went out and added Gio Urshela and Brandon Drury to their roster this offseason, both of whom can play third base, suggests they have concerns about Rendon staying healthy. Rendon will turn 33 years old during the 2023 season so still has some years left but is certainly in the Autumn months of his playing career. As a later-round flyer, Rendon makes sense in fantasy, especially with the third base position having less depth than in recent seasons, but just make sure you aren't relying on Rendon as a starter in your lineups.
