Anthony Rendon (34-LA Angels), the best “cheater” in the majors, is about to come clean. The “he hates baseball” moniker is coming true.
Rendon disappeared from the Angels’ lineup against the Cincinnati Reds on March 21st. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring, then moved to the 60-day disabled list this month as the injury lingered.
The hamstring was torn, and there is still no timetable for his return. According to local media, including MLB.com, Rendon has begun incline walking on a treadmill but is not yet cleared for baseball activities.
There is no specific timetable for his return. “I’m feeling better, I’m slowly recovering. I’m rehabbing, but unfortunately not much more than that. 바카라사이트 I’m trying to make sure I don’t tear the hamstring again,” he said, adding, ‘I’ll be back as soon as I can.’
Injuries are always unfortunate and out of your control, but there’s a lot of people who don’t look at it kindly because it’s Rendon and not other athletes. Rendon signed a seven-year, $245 million free agent contract with the Angels in December 2019. After proving his worth as a specialty third baseman who helped the Washington Nationals win their first World Series title in 2019, his career with the Angels completely fell apart.
He played in just 200 of the team’s 546 games over the first four years of the 2020-2023 season.
He missed more games, 246. After playing a full COVID-19-shortened season in 2020, Rendon suffered groin, knee, hamstring, and hip injuries in 2021, wrist surgery in 2022, and groin, wrist, and shin injuries last year, limiting him to 58, 47, and 43 games over the next three years, respectively. Until this year, he had been on the injured list 10 times in the last four years, making him a ‘glass house’.
Injuries are bad enough, but work ethic is even worse. “Baseball has never been a priority for me,” he said earlier this year. It’s a job, and I do it for a living. I might leave baseball because my family comes first,” he said, adding, 파워볼게임 ”We have to shorten the season. 162 games in 185 days is too many games. We need to shorten it.” He was criticized for his comments.
His former teammate in Washington, six-time All-Star and former major league pitcher Jonathan Papelbon, said, “I’ve played with him and he hates baseball,” adding, “If I were the Angels manager, I’d want to get rid of him as soon as possible. “If I were the Angels manager, I’d want to get rid of him as soon as possible because he’s a cancer in the clubhouse.
He is injury prone, and when he is on the field, his production is extremely low.
After seven years in Washington, where he batted .290 with 136 home runs and an .859 OPS in 916 games (3424-for-994), his numbers plummeted to .219 with 22 home runs and a .746 OPS in 199 games (795-for-795) in five years with the Angels. This year, he’s been even worse, batting just 2-for-7 (20-for-75) with no home runs, three RBIs and a .632 OPS in 19 games.
Despite his breakout season, Rendon still seems to be in a rut. After being placed on the disabled list, Rendon has only been with the team at home, but he joined the team for the trip to Houston, which began on the 21st. 온라인카지노사이트 The Houston native traveled to see his family back home during his rehabilitation. “Just having Rendon and Mike Trout in the dugout helps the younger guys,” Angels manager Ron Washington said, but with the team at 19-30 (.388 winning percentage) and in fifth place in the American League West, the Angels are simmering.
