Angels Place Luis Rengifo is on the 10-day injured list with right wrist irritation.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have placed infielder Luis Rengifo on the injured list for the second time this season due to right wrist inflammation. The move was made before Saturday night’s game against the New York Mets.
Rengifo missed 15 games last month due to wrist problems. The injury flared up again during an eighth inning at-bat on Wednesday against Colorado. He then left Friday’s game against the Mets in the fifth inning due to the same issue.
Rengifo was third in the majors with a .315 batting average when he went on the injured list on July 4. He went 6 for 32 in nine games after returning from the IL and saw his average drop to .300.
The Angels called up infielder Charles Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the open roster spot.
Luis Rengifo’s injury woes have taken a turn for the worse, as the Los Angeles Angels infielder’s right wrist inflammation has escalated into a more severe condition. After being placed on the 10-day injured list, further evaluation has revealed a significant setback, putting his return to play in jeopardy. Rengifo’s wrist issue has been a recurring problem, and this latest development raises concerns about his long-term health and potential impact on his career. The Angels organization is exploring all treatment options to ensure Rengifo receives the best care, but his absence from the lineup will undoubtedly be felt.
