Anthony Rendon Removed from Game with Bruised Elbow
Angels Third Baseman Continues to Struggle with Injuries
Rendon Has Only Played in 41 Games this Season
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was removed from Friday night's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning due to a bruised right elbow.
Rendon, who has only played in 41 games this season, was hit in the shoulder by a pitch during his at-bat in the fourth inning.
He was replaced by Matt Duffy.
- Rendon is batting .247 with 5 home runs and 24 RBIs this season.
- He has been on the injured list twice this season, once with a hamstring injury and once with a calf injury.
- The Angels are currently 41-44 this season and are in fourth place in the AL West.
The Angels did not provide an update on Rendon's condition after the game, but he is expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday.
Rendon's injury is a significant blow to the Angels, who are already without Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.
Trout is out with a calf injury, while Ohtani is out with a forearm injury.
The Angels have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are now 6 games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West.
