Anthony Rendon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

After another disappointing and injury-riddled 2024 campaign for Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon, he will need to prove himself in order to earn playing time next season. "He's gonna have to come in and show us he can still play and earn the right to play every day," general manager Perry Minasian said when asked what type of conversations the team has had with Rendon. Given the Halos' lack of other options at the position, it's likely that Rendon will see plenty of playing time if he's healthy. However, it's far from a guarantee that the 34-year-old veteran will be able to stay on the field. He played in only 57 games in 2024 and hit .218 (45-for-206) with no homers, 14 RBI and six steals in 238 plate appearances while going on the injured list three separate times. Unbelievably, Rendon still has two years left on his $245 million, seven-year deal.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon has been on the 10-day IL since September 10 with an oblique strain, and although it has not been made official, manager Ron Washington seemed to indicate that the former All-Star would likely not play again this season. With the Angels long out of contention and with just a handful of games to go in the season, it wouldn't make sense to roll the veteran out there in what has turned out to be yet another season marred by injury. The 34-year-old played in just 57 games in 2024, the fourth consecutive season in which he did not surpass even 60 games played. Rendon finishes with a .218-0-14-21-6 line in 238 plate appearances.

The Los Angeles Angels placed third baseman Anthony Rendon (oblique) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 8) on Tuesday with a left-oblique strain and selected the contract of infielder Eric Wagaman from the minors in a corresponding move. Rendon had missed the last two games due to what was reported as back soreness, but the 34-year-old veteran will officially hit the IL with an oblique injury and will most likely be done for the rest of the 2024 season. Rendon has been one of the franchise's biggest free-agent busts since he joined the team in 2020 and just hasn't been able to stay healthy for a long stretch of time. He's played in just 57 games in 2024 and has hit a weak .218/.307/.267 with a career-worst .574 OPS, no home runs, 14 RBI and six steals. Rendon has fallen completely off the radar in all mixed fantasy leagues heading into next year.
