Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon left Saturday’s game in Cincinnati with a left hamstring injury, the team announced.
Rendon, who has not played more than 58 games in a season due to a variety of injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic since signing a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Angels after the 2019 season, came up limping after legging out an infield hit to open the game.
Zach Neto pinch-ran for Rendon and later scored as the Angels took a 2-0 lead. Neto stayed in the game at shortstop in the bottom of the first inning, with Luis Rengifo moving from short to third.
Counting his single on Saturday, Rendon is hitting .267 with no homers, three RBIs and three stolen bases in 19 games. He is a career .283 hitter with 158 home runs and 660 RBIs and 52 steals.
In seven seasons with the Washington Nationals, Rendon was an All-Star in 2019 who finished as high as third in the National League MVP voting in 2019. That season, he set career highs with a .319 batting average, 34 homers and 126 RBIs, the latter leading the majors.
