Angels Notes: Halos Make Another Roster Cut, Major Luis Rengifo Injury Update

The Los Angeles Angels are continuing to trim down their roster ahead of Opening Day. The latest decision is considered surprising by many around the league after a productive showing in Triple-A last season.

A huge health update on veteran infielder Luis Rengifo was reported by the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher. Rengifo is getting back into baseball action, but not quite in a conventional way.

The 28-year-old was taking at-bats in a minor league contest but didn't field or run the bases. The move was solely to get his timing and swing back as he has missed a few Cactus League contests due to hamstring soreness.

With Opening Day right around the corner, the Halos won't rush back the veteran to allow him to get as healthy as possible, and hopefully get his swing back for the start of 2025.

Angels Tweets of the Day:

Luis Rengifo (hamstring) is going to get some more ABs today in a minor league game. He’s not playing the field or running the bases. It’s just about getting his timing and his swing at this point.
