• Angels' Luis Rengifo: Enough time to prep for Opening Day

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Angels manager Ron Washington said Friday that Rengifo (hamstring) should have enough time to get ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Rengifo is back in the Cactus League lineup Friday after dealing with a recent hamstring issue. He was brought along slowly at the start of camp following last August's wrist surgery, and Friday's game will be just his second this spring. However, Rengifo still has just enough time to get ready before the Angels open their campaign March 27 versus the White Sox.

  Rengifo (hamstring) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. A hamstring problem has kept Rengifo out of Cactus League games so far in March, but he played in a minor-league contest Wednesday and will join the Halos' lineup Friday. It will be just his second game this spring, as Rengifo was initially eased into action following wrist surgery last August. He still has enough time to get ready for Opening Day.

  Rengifo (hamstring) will get some at-bats in during a minor-league game Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Rengifo will not play the field or run the bases as he recovers from a hamstring issue, but playing in the minor-league game will allow him to get his timing down at the plate. The switch hitter has not been ruled out for Opening Day, but between him being eased into camp following last season's wrist surgery and the more recent hamstring issue, he's played in just one Cactus League game thus far.

  Rengifo (hamstring) participated in on-field drills Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. The extensiveness of the workout isn't clear, nor is Rengifo's effort level while going through drills, but that he worked out at all seems like a good sign after Angels manager Ron Washington said Sunday that the club would "back off" the switch hitter as he deals with a hamstring problem. The Angels have not yet ruled Rengifo out for Opening Day, but he has played just one game so far this spring.

  Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that the club will "back off" Rengifo due to his hamstring injury, and he may not be ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. The 27-year-old downplayed the hamstring issue as a cramp after he was scratched from the lineup last Monday, but the injury appears to be a bit more problematic after he was scratched again Saturday. Rengifo has seen action in just one Cactus League game so far, leaving him just two and a half weeks to get right before Opening Day against the White Sox on March 27.
