Luis Rengifo Fantasy Stats

San Diego Padres infielder/outfielder Luis Rengifo (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rengifo was pulled late in the game due to a right knee sprain. He appeared to have suffered the injury while attempting a throw to home plate in the seventh inning. He finished this game 0-for-2 at the plate with a run scored and a walk. He's flying back to San Diego, where he'll undergo further evaluation. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Rengifo ends up getting placed on the Injured List. If that happens, Gavin Sheets and Austin Hays would be in line for increased playing time.

San Diego Padres utility man Luis Rengifo got off to a terrible start to the 2026 season while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, hitting .205/.280/.254 with zero home runs across 209 plate appearances with Milwaukee. However, since being released by the Brewers and catching on with the Padres, Rengifo has turned his season around. Across 138 plate appearances with San Diego, the 29-year-old is slashing .306/.387/.430 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored, and three stolen bases. Rengifo does not profile as much of a power source for fantasy managers, as he owns a career barrel and hard-hit rates of 5.2% and 32.8%, respectively. However, he's struck out in just 14.1% of his plate appearances this season while posting a 9.5% walk rate. Rengifo can also lineup at every infield position other than shortstop and as a corner outfielder, which helps keep him in the San Diego lineup every day. As a depth piece in deeper fantasy leagues, Rengifo has value on the waiver wire.

Free-agent infielder Luis Rengifo agreed to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Rengifo, 28, will give the Brewers a super-utility option in 2026 with the ability to play multiple positions on the infield and in the outfield. The Venezuelan struggled in his seventh and final season with the Los Angeles Angels last year, batting .238/.287/.335 with a .622 OPS, nine home runs, 43 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 147 games over a career-high 541 plate appearances. Rengifo has never been much of a power hitter at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds (his career high in homers is 17), but he did hit .300 with 24 stolen bases in Anaheim in 2024. The switch-hitter has dual eligibility at second and third base and could bounce back with Milwaukee as a utility man, although he can probably be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Rengifo will miss his second game in a row as the switch-hitter is in the middle of a rough slump at the plate. He has managed only two hits over his last seven games, so he'll take another night off on Monday. In his absence, Tim Anderson will cover second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Michael King. Anderson hasn't been great with the bat, but he does have four hits over his last five games. It's still not enough to warrant rostering Anderson in fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Rengifo who has been struggling at the plate latey. Rengifo has registered only one hit over his last five games, so hopefully a night off will help him get back on track. He has been a regular in the Halos lineup this season, but is really only worth rostering in deep leagues or AL-only formats. Yoan Moncada will cover third base and bat sixth versus right-hander Chris Bassitt on Thursday. Moncada has three hits over his last two hits, so the Angels will ride the hot hand.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (tooth) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rengifo was absent from the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting a root canal. It's worth noting that he came off the bench as a pinch-hitter late in the game. He'll be back at third base and batting seventh against left-hander Andrew Heaney on Wednesday. Rengifo is off to a sluggish start, but remains worth holding in deep leagues and AL-only formats. He has shown he has the ability to be a solid contributor, so hopefully he gets back on track soon.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (mouth) is out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates after having a root canal on Monday, according to manager Ron Washington. Rengifo was cleared to play, but Washington wanted Kevin Newman to get a chance to play against Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter, who he has gone 5-for-11 against in his career. Newman is starting at third base and is batting in the nine-hole for the Halos, though, so he will still be a poor choice for DFS lineups with little fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should expect Rengifo to return to the Angels' starting lineup at third base on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Venezuelan infielder has gotten off to a slow start offensively in 2025, going 17-for-78 (.218) with a homer, seven RBI, no steals and eight runs scored in his first 21 games played.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. There was some concern that Rengifo would miss this game after exiting early on Friday due to hamstring tightness. Luckily, Rengifo only appears to have exited for precautionary reasons and will still suit up for this game. The Angels are without Yoan Moncada (thumb), so Rengifo will cover third base and bat second against right-hander Tanner Bibee. Fantasy managers can safely get Rengifo back into their lineups.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) left Friday's contest early against the visiting Cleveland Guardians with left-hamstring tightness, according to MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. Before leaving, Rengifo went 1-for-2 with a double. He was replaced at second base by Kyren Paris. While fantasy managers should consider the 28-year-old day-to-day until further notice, it should be noted that Rengifo also missed some time in spring training with a left-hamstring injury that could be related. We wouldn't be surprised if it's an injury that sends him to the injured list, but we'll wait for more information. At the very least, Rengifo probably won't be available for Game 2 of the series on Saturday at Angel Stadium. The Venezuelan switch-hitting infielder came into Friday's game hitting just .174 (4-for-23) in the early going with a double and RBI in six games. If Rengifo misses extended time with this injury, Paris, Tim Anderson and Nicky Lopez are all candidates to see time at the keystone.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) is back in the team's split-squad Cactus League lineup on Friday against the division-rival Athletics and is playing third base and batting leadoff. It's the first spring game for Rengifo in the month of March after dealing with hamstring tightness and being scratched from the lineup multiple times last week. The 28-year-old utility infielder has a few weeks to get ready for Opening Day, but if he has any more setbacks, he'll likely need to start the regular season on the injured list. If he's healthy by March 27, Rengifo should be in the Angels' lineup regularly between third base, shortstop and second base. He was initially eased into spring action after having wrist surgery last August. Rengifo's speed, contact abilities and positional versatility make him a late-round target as infield depth in fantasy leagues. UPDATE: Manager Ron Washington thinks Rengifo has enough time to get ready for Opening Day as long as he doesn't have any setbacks.
