  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Starting at third in spring debut

    Rengifo (hamstring) will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's split-squad Cactus League game against the Cubs, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    He'll be making his spring debut Wednesday after a bout with left hamstring tightness kept Rengifo behind the Angels' other healthy position players during the early stages of camp. Rengifo still has plenty of time to get enough at-bats in during Cactus League games to guarantee his availability for Opening Day, and he could find himself in a prominent lineup spot to begin the regular season. Per Fletcher, manager Ron Washington said Feb. 22 that he views Rengifo as a candidate to serve as the Angels' leadoff hitter.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Should rejoin lineup Wednesday

    Rengifo (hamstring) is expected to see some at-bats in one of Wednesday's split-squad games, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old has been dealing with a hamstring issue the past couple weeks but is now poised to make his spring debut Wednesday. Rengifo had a .783 OPS with 16 homers in 126 games last season and should see action all across the diamond for the Halos in 2024.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Resumes workouts

    Rengifo (hamstring) will do some hitting and defensive drills Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rengifo is ready to ease back into workouts after dealing with some left hamstring tightness. He will need to go through some other baseball activities -- most notably running -- before being cleared for game action, but the super utility player looks to be trending in a positive direction.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Rengifo is expected to miss time due to left hamstring tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Sam Blum of The Athletic reports that Rengifo will be off his feet for the next few days, but manager Ron Washington believes the infielder will be ready for Opening Day. Rengifo's 2023 season was cut short after he sustained a torn biceps in early September. Across 126 games last year, he slashed .264/.339/.444 with 16 home runs and 51 RBI.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Candidate to bat leadoff

    Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Rengifo and Mickey Moniak are candidates to bat leadoff, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    The switch-hitting Rengifo is much better against left-handed pitching, so it might make sense to put him at the top of the order versus southpaws while Moniak bats leadoff against right-handers. Whichever of the two are in the leadoff spot will be followed by Nolan Schanuel, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon. Rengifo might not have a set position for the Halos, but he should get lots of his starts at third base while Rendon serves as the designated hitter.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Deems himself fully healthy

    Rengifo said Sunday that he is fully healthy after tearing his left biceps tendon last September, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Rengifo underwent surgery in mid-September last year following the biceps injury, and he was able to resume baseball activities in January. That allowed him to have a normal offseason in terms of training, and he said Sunday that he feels "really good." Rengifo is likely to fill a utility role for the Angels this year, but he should have an opportunity to play on a near-everyday basis as he looks to build upon his strong second half last season. Between the All-Star break and the biceps injury, Rengifo slashed .318/.374/.587 with 11 home runs and 29 RBI over 50 contests.

  • Angels' Luis Rengifo: Settles at $4.4 million

    The Angels and Rengifo (biceps) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.4 million contract Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

    It's a sizable raise for Rengifo, who was arbitration-eligible for the second time. The 26-year-old posted a career-high .783 OPS with 16 home runs for the Angels in 2023. Rengifo had surgery in September to repair a biceps tendon but should be at or close to 100 percent for camp.
