Los Angeles Angels‘ third baseman, Anthony Rendon, finds himself sidelined due to a groin discomfort that surfaced during a game on Sunday. Manager Ron Washington, however, reassures that the team remains unworried, expressing hope for Rendon’s return to the lineup by Thursday, pending the alleviation of the discomfort.
As spring training intensifies, minor injuries are not uncommon, with Washington emphasizing that Rendon’s current ailment is a minor discomfort in the groin muscle. Despite the setback, the Angels are optimistic about Rendon’s swift recovery, especially given his history of injuries over the last three years.
Rendon, a key player signed by the Angels ahead of the 2020 season with high expectations, has faced challenges in meeting performance expectations due to recurrent injuries. The 33-year-old right-hander, drafted by the Washington Nationals in 2011, marked his major league debut in 2013.
It setbacks as he achieved notable success with the Nationals, winning the NL Comeback Player of the Year in 2016 and securing a World Series title in his final season with the team. However, Rendon’s tenure with the Angels has been marred by injuries, playing less than 60 games in the last three years. The Angels are closely monitoring his recovery, recognizing the importance of his fitness with Opening Day approaching in just over three weeks.
