Luis Rengifo News
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo won his salary arbitration case against the team on Thursday, according to a source. Rengifo will earn $2.3 million in 2023 instead of the $2 million that the Angels filed for. The Angels failed to upgrade at the shortstop position in the offseason, so Rengifo is expected to enter 2023 as the primary starter at the position. The 25-year-old hit .264/.294/.429 with a career-high .724 OPS, 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 45 runs scored and six stolen bases in 511 plate appearances and 127 games in his fourth MLB season in 2022. It was a great year for Rengifo, all things considered, but he's a free swinger, which will make him hard to rely on for a useful batting average and on-base percentage.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (knee) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He was originally listed as out due to a knee issue. However, Rengifo must be feeling better because the Angels have put him back in the lineup for this contest. He'll bat cleanup and play second base against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Rengifo could be worth a look as a streaming option after a four-hit performance on Monday.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (back) was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Seattle Mariners due to back tightness. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI double before exiting with the injury. The 25-year-old is considered day-to-day, and his next chance to return is Friday against the Detroit Tigers. He has been locked in the plate recently with a seven-game hitting streak, including three home runs and nine RBI over his last 30 at-bats. Rengifo is slashing .273/.309/.438 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, 29 runs, and five stolen bases in 84 games in 2022.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo had a solid fantasy season for the American League West club last year, hitting .264 with a .294 on-base percentage, 17 home runs, and six stolen bases in 511 plate appearances. The home runs, stolen bases, and plate appearances all represented career highs for Rengifo, who also finished with a 103 wRC+ that was above league average. Though despite that, it remains to be seen what the 25-year-old's role will be with the Angels in 2023. Rengifo saw significant time at second base, third base, and shortstop with a handful of appearances in the outfield last season. His best pathway to a regular role for Los Angeles might be in a super-utility role, what with new additions Brandon Drury and Gio Urshela and the returning Anthony Rendon factoring into the infield mix. If Rengifo can play on a regular basis he could have some fantasy appeal in slightly deeper leagues, but Los Angeles's sudden abundance of options at the positions he plays makes his playing time difficult to forecast.
