Angels' Anthony Rendon: Shut down two more weeks
Angels manager Phil Nevin said Saturday that Rendon will be shut down from baseball activities for at least two weeks after an MRI revealed a deep bone bruise in his left shin, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Nevin added that Rendon is dealing with bleeding in the bone, so the veteran third baseman will be rested until at least the first week of August until the team reassesses his condition. Rendon has been on the shelf since July 11 and can safely be ruled out through mid-August, given the buildup process that he'll require following the two-week shutdown period. Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar should continue sharing time at third base for the Halos, though Luis Rengifo could be a factor at the position once second baseman Brandon Drury (shoulder) returns from the injured list.
