  The Angels activated Rengifo (illness) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Rengifo missed the last week and a half with a viral illness which resulted in painful blisters on his feet. He's recovered now, though, and should be back in the lineup when the Angels return to action Friday in Texas against the Rangers. The super utility player is slashing .330/.378/.462 with two home runs and nine stolen bases over 28 contests this season.

• Angels' Luis Rengifo: Could return Friday

  Rotowire May 14, 2024

  Rengifo (illness) fielded grounders Monday and could return from the injured list when eligible Friday, per MLB.com. Rengifo came down with a viral infection in early May and landed on the IL when the illness caused painful blisters on his feet. His ability to take grounders Monday is a good indication that he's doing better, and there's a chance he could spend the minimum amount of time on the injured list. Upon his return, Rengifo should slide back into a starting role at third base -- Niko Goodrum, Luis Guillorme and Cole Tucker have been filling in at the hot corner in his stead.

• Angels' Luis Rengifo: Notches first steal

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2024

  Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Saturday's 2-1 win against Boston. Pitching was prevalent in the contest, as the teams combined for just three runs and nine hits. Rengifo had two of the Angels' six knocks, and his legs were critical in the lone inning during which the team scored, as he beat out a two-out grounder for an infield single, stole second base and eventually crossed the plate on a Rafael Devers error. Rengifo appears to be fully recovered after departing early from Wednesday's contest against Miami as a result of feeling lightheaded and subsequently sitting out Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.

• Angels' Luis Rengifo: Missing from Opening Day lineup

  Rotowire Mar 28, 2024

  Rengifo isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's season opener in Baltimore. With a .783 OPS to go with 16 home runs and six stolen bases in 445 plate appearances last season, Rengifo was one of the few bright spots for an 89-loss Angels squad. Despite that success, Rengifo doesn't look as though he'll handle an everyday role to begin the 2024 campaign, as Anthony Rendon and Brandon Drury will draw starts Thursday at third and second base, respectively, while Miguel Sano steps in at designated hitter against Baltimore right-hander Corbin Burnes. The switch-hitting Rengifo should still be a regular in the lineup versus lefties, but he may need to wait for an injury or a Sano slump before he gets steady playing time versus righties.
