Luis Rengifo Dealing With Hamstring Issue
10 months agoLos Angeles Angels second baseman Luis Rengifo (hamstring) is dealing with a left-hamstring issue at camp and took himself out of workouts at spring training on Friday. He is going to be off his feet for a few days, but manager Ron Washington was adamant that Rengifo will be ready for Opening Day in late March. When healthy, the 26-year-old switch-hitter is expected to see the majority of playing time for the Halos at second base, and he should also be the club's leadoff hitter against left-handed pitchers. The Venezuelan infielder hit .264/.339/.444 with 16 home runs, 15 doubles, four triples, 51 RBI, six stolen bases and 55 runs scored in 126 games in 2023 before his season was cut short due to a torn left biceps in September. None of Rengifo's skills really stand out for fantasy managers, but he can be an asset as depth in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues as an everyday player for the Angels.
