Rendon (wrist) is not expected to return to the lineup until Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon missed Friday's game against the Royals after getting hit in the wrist Thursday against Texas, and it looks like he'll miss the rest of the series as well. Luis Rengifo will start at third base in his absence Saturday.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez was the only Guardian to log multiple hits in the contest. It's his sixth multi-hit effort during his nine-game hitting streak, a span in which he's gone 18-for-39 (.462) with five homers and 11 RBI. The third baseman's recent surge has him up to a .292/.359/.510 with 11 long balls, 41 RBI, 40 runs scored, six stolen bases, 19 doubles and two triples through 65 contests overall. While there was little wrong with his start to the season, this is much more like the level of production Ramirez is known for.

Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left pelvis fracture, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Urshela sustained the injury in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers, when he stumbled awkwardly over first base while trying to beat out a double-play ball. The Angels haven't yet provided a timeline for Urshela's return, but his move to the IL means he'll be out for at least a week and a half. The Angels called up Michael Stefanic from Triple-A Salt Lake to take Urshela's spot on the active roster.

Rendon (wrist) is out of the lineup Friday against the Royals.

Rendon took a pitch off his left wrist in the first inning of Thursday's series finale against the Rangers. He's expected to avoid the injured list after undergoing a round of imaging scans and can be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is at third base and batting eighth Friday versus Kansas City.

LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Red Sox.

LeMahieu will take a seat after he went 2-for-8 with a solo homer, a double and two RBI while starting both games of the Subway Series with the Mets. Josh Donaldson will draw the start at the hot corner and bat fifth in the series opener in Boston.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and four strikeouts Thursday in a loss to the Dodgers in extra innings.

It was an all-or-nothing performance for Burger at the dish, as he went yard in the fourth inning but failed to make contact in any of his remaining plate appearances. That's been an issue for the infielder of late, as he's fanned at least once in each of his past 10 games and has posted a 46.3 percent strikeout rate over that span. On the other side of the all-or-nothing coin, Burger has swatted five homers and driven in 11 runs over that 10-game stretch.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, two RBI and a stolen base in an 8-6 win against the Padres on Thursday.

Ramirez twice came up with a run-scoring hit, notching an RBI double in the second inning and plating another run on an infield single in the fourth. The star third baseman finished with his sixth three-hit game of the campaign, three of which have come over his past six contests. During his current eight-game hitting streak, Ramirez is slashing .457/.513/.886 with four homers, 10 RBI, nine runs and one theft.

Rendon is getting imaging done on his wrist after being hit by a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was unable to swing the bat after being hit by the pitch, though he was forced to remain in the game due to the Angels' having a shorthanded infield. The extent of the injury should become clearer after the results of the imaging are returned, and the Angels may be forced to dig significantly into their minor-league depth with Gio Urshela (hip) and Zach Neto (oblique) also sidelined.

Urshela (hip) was seen on crutches after Thursday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Urshela is dealing with a hip injury after awkwardly stumbling over first base while trying to beat out a double play in the first inning. There hasn't been any official move yet, by manager Phil Nevin suggested that Urshela could end up on the injured list in the coming days.

Rendon has remained in Thursday's game against the Rangers despite suffering a hand injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon was hit in the hand by a pitch in the first inning and has been unable to swing the bat since, as he's attempted only to bunt in his next two plate appearances. With Brandon Drury (suspension), Gio Urshela (lower body) and Zach Neto (oblique) unavailable, the Angels have Hunter Renfroe and Matt Thaiss as their only healthy bench bats -- forcing Rendon to stay in the game. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any time, though we should get a clearer picture ahead of Friday's series opener in Kansas City.
