Angels' Anthony Rendon to Undergo Hip Surgery, Facing Extended Absence

The 34-year-old third baseman's ongoing injury struggles continue, leaving his future with the team uncertain.

Overview

  • Anthony Rendon, entering the sixth year of a seven-year, $245 million contract, will undergo hip surgery after a rehab setback.
  • The surgery marks Rendon’s 13th injured list placement since 2021, with the player having missed nearly 70% of games over the past four seasons.
  • Rendon has struggled with performance and availability during his Angels tenure, hitting just .242 with 22 home runs in 257 games since joining the team in 2020.
  • The Angels have signed Yoán Moncada on a one-year, $5 million deal, positioning him as the likely starting third baseman for the 2025 season.
  • The team has bolstered its infield depth further with additional signings, as Rendon's long-term future with the Angels remains in doubt.
