Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is not in the lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. The veteran third baseman has been dealing with a shoulder issue but he's started the last four contests so this looks to just be a maintenance day for him. Rendon is off to a sluggish start […]

Possibly, Bryant […]
