Rengifo will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Rangers.
Since shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list July 28, Rengifo has emerged as the primary beneficiary. With David Fletcher stepping in at Simmons' position, Rengifo has taken over as the Angels' main second baseman -- he'll pick up his ninth start in 10 games Sunday. Despite the steady playing time, Rengifo has yet to heat up at the plate, as he's gotten off to a 4-for-28 start to the season.
