Taylor Ward, Luis Rengifo Expect To Return Soon
15 seconds agoThe Athletic's Sam Blum reports that both Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (knee) and infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) said they are fine and expect to return to the Cactus League lineup in a day or so. Ward and Rengifo were both recently scratched from spring training action due to minor injuries -- Ward is dealing with knee soreness, while Rengifo merely had a hamstring cramp. The 31-year-old Ward will continue to serve as the Angels' starting left fielder in 2025 and could also be their leadoff hitter. While nothing he does at the plate jumps off the page to fantasy managers, don't forget that he finished the 2024 season as a top-40 outfielder for a bad Angels team. Rengifo, meanwhile, should also be an everyday player in 2025 as a utility infielder. He has very little power but is useful for infield depth later in drafts for his speed, contact abilities and positional versatility.
