The Los Angeles Angels placed third baseman Anthony Rendon on the 10-day injured list with wrist inflammation.
An MRI exam on Friday confirmed the diagnosis.
Rendon has struggled all season but had just started to hit, batting .349 (15-for-43) over the past 15 days. For the season, he’s hitting .242 with a .335 on-base percentage, five home runs and 23 RBIs in 41 games.
Rendon, 31, signed a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Angels after helping the Washington Nationals win the World Series in 2019. That season, he hit .319 with 34 home runs and a major-league leading 126 RBIs.
Injuries limited him to 58 games last season. In 151 games in all with Anaheim, he’s batting .256 with 20 home runs and 88 RBIs.
