The Los Angeles Angels are grappling with ongoing injury issues as third baseman Anthony Rendon is scheduled for hip surgery. After facing several injury complications in recent years, Rendon’s upcoming operation means he will be out of action for an extended time. This latest setback adds to the hurdles Rendon has faced during his time with the Angels, where his playing time has been affected by persistent health problems.
Let’s delve into the recent developments concerning Anthony Rendon’s hip operation, its implications for the Angels’ squad, and potential repercussions for his tenure with the team.
What’s the latest on Anthony Rendon’s surgery, how it affects the Angels’ lineup, and what this could mean for him staying with the team.
Anthony Rendon will undergo hip surgery
Anthony Rendon, the third baseman for the Los Angeles Angels, is scheduled to have surgery on his left hip, as reported by general manager Perry Minasian this week. This operation comes after complications in his offseason recovery process, pushing back his expected return to play even further. At 34 years old, Rendon has experienced numerous injuries since joining the Angels and will now be sidelined for a substantial chunk of the 2025 Major League Baseball season.
It’s not the first instance where Rendon has needed hip surgery. Back in 2022, he underwent a surgery on his right hip that ended his season. His troubles with his left hip started after several spells on the injured list in 2024. He suffered from a hamstring injury, back inflammation, and an oblique strain. Despite attempts to heal without surgery, medical examinations concluded that it was essential to perform the operation.
After penning a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Angels following the 2019 season, Anthony Rendon has struggled to maintain his health. In his remarkable 2019 stint with the Washington Nationals, he batted an impressive .319 with 34 home runs and 126 RBIs. Nevertheless, his performance has noticeably waned since joining the Angels. Over the course of five seasons, he has managed to play in just 257 games while being sidelined by injuries for a total of 451 matches. His OPS with the Angels (.717) significantly lags behind his performance with the Nationals. (ESPN’s report)
In the absence of Rendon, the Angels are relying on Yoán Moncada, who apparently agreed to a $5 million deal. Moncada, at 29 years old, has had his share of injuries but is anticipated to fill in at third base for the team. Additionally, the Angels have brought in Kevin Newman and J.D. Davis as infield reinforcements.
As I’m currently locked in with a yearly salary of $38.5 million until 2026, some folks are wondering what my future holds within this organization. With my past injury issues and a noticeable drop in my gameplay, it’s possible that my role might change if I make it back onto the field.
