Angels' Anthony Rendon: Expected to retire following buyout
The Los Angeles Angels and Anthony Rendon (hip) are in talks to buy out the final year of his seven-year, $245 million contract, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.Rendon is expected to agree to defer at least some of the $38 million he is owed in 2026, and, once the buyout is finalized, the 35-year-old is expected to retire. It will spell the end of one of the worst free-agent contracts in baseball history, as Rendon has slashed .242/.348/.369 and never played more than 58 games during his five seasons with the Angels. He missed most of the 2025 campaign following left hip surgery. Even after the dreadful tenure with the Halos, Rendon will still finish with a career .280/.364/.464 batting line with 158 home runs over 12 major-league seasons. He made one All-Star team, finished in the top-10 in National League MVP voting four times and won a World Series in 2019 with the Nationals.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Moves to 60-day IL
The Los Angeles Angels placed Anthony Rendon (hip) on the 60-day injured list Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Rendon is slated to undergo surgery on his hip after suffering a setback in his rehab sometime within the past several weeks. A recovery timeline should come following the procedure, but moving to the injured list will ensure he sits out until at least late May. The 34-year-old is certainly no stranger to extended absences, as he has yet to play more than 58 games in a season since signing with the Angels in 2020. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Yoan Moncada, whose signing was made official Saturday.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Slated to undergo hip surgery
Anthony Rendon is scheduled to undergo hip surgery and is facing a lengthy absence, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.Rendon experienced a setback in his rehab sometime in the last few weeks and it was decided surgery was the best course of action. Further clarity on a timetable should be available after the operation, but it's fair to wonder whether Rendon has played his final game for the Los Angeles Angels. He has not played in any more than 58 games during his five seasons with the Halos and still has two years remaining on his seven-year, $245 million contract.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Not likely to start
Anthony Rendon isn't expected to be the Los Angeles Angels' Opening Day third baseman, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Rendon played in just 57 games last season, marking the fifth time in as many years that he appeared in fewer than 60 contests for the Angels. The 34-year-old also wasn't particularly effective when he was active, slashing just .218/.307/.267 with 14 RBI and six stolen bases over 238 plate appearances. The Halos agreed to a one-year pact with Yoan Moncada on Thursday, and the expectation is that Moncada will take over at the hot corner while Rendon presumably moves to the bench.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Won't be handed starting job
Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Monday on Foul Territory TV that Anthony Rendon will have to "show us he can still play and earn the right to play every day" next season.When healthy, Rendon was employed as an everyday player in 2024, ultimately playing just 56 games while making three different trips to the injured list. However, he slashed only .218/.307/.267 with no home runs and it does not sound like a starting job will be handed to him heading into the 2025 campaign. As things stand right now, Rendon would appear tentatively penciled in as the Angels' starting third baseman. He has two years remaining on his seven-year, $245 million contract.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Unlikely to play again in 2024
Anthony Rendon (oblique) hasn't yet been ruled out from returning this season, though Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington suggested Tuesday that the third baseman's return is unlikely, Andrew Seligman of the Associated Press reports.Rendon last played for Los Angeles on Sept. 7. He subsequently missed two games due to what was originally diagnosed as a sore back, and despite initially being expected to be out just a few days, Rendon was eventually moved to the injured list and deemed to be suffering from a left oblique strain. Washington wouldn't entirely commit Tuesday to Rendon being done for the season, though the manager implied that will be the likely outcome, saying, "We haven't made a total decision on that yet, but we're still working through it. I think you make a common-sense deduction, you can answer that one yourself." If Rendon's season is in fact over, he'll finish with a .218/.307/.267 slash line, no home runs, 14 RBI, 21 runs and six stolen bases over 57 games. Since joining the Angels on a seven-year, $245 million contract in 2020, Rendon hasn't played more than 58 games in any of his five campaigns.

The Los Angeles Angels placed Anthony Rendon on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to a left oblique strain.Manager Ron Washington said Monday that Rendon was expected to rejoin the lineup Tuesday after sitting out two straight games due to back soreness, but the third baseman will instead move to the injured list after being diagnosed with an oblique injury. The 34-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 18, but there's no guarantee he's back before the end of the campaign, especially given his injury history.
