Luis Rengifo's X-Rays Come Back Negative
5 months agoLos Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo's (wrist) X-rays showed no break in his right wrist after he was forced from the game early on Wednesday night against the division-rival Oakland Athletics. Rengifo will get an MRI exam on Friday and is out of the lineup on the Fourth of July on Thursday against Oakland. He'll avoid the injured list for now, but he's not out of the woods yet until his MRI results come back. Miguel Sano is starting at third and batting cleanup, while Brandon Drury is at second and hitting eighth on Thursday versus A's left-hander JP Sears. The 27-year-old Rengifo has been one of the bright spots for the Halos this year, so losing him for any amount of time would be a big blow. The Venezuelan infielder deserves to be stashed in fantasy leagues if he does go on the IL, as he's hitting a cool .315/.358/.442 with an .800 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 22 steals and 36 runs in 251 at-bats.
