Rengifo has a .992 OPS since June 21, but the Angels won’t have a spot for him in the everyday lineup when Drury soon comes off the injured list
ATLANTA — The Angels are about to have the kind of good “problem” that they have hoped to face all season.
“He’s earned the right to be in there,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said Wednesday. “We’ll find ways to get him in there. Guys are gonna need rest. We’re in the middle of a stretch with no days off, but we’re gonna put our best guys out there.” Whenever Drury comes back, he figures to be the primary second baseman, with C.J. Cron at first, Zach Neto at shortstop and Mike Moustakas at third. Rengifo can also play the outfield, but the Angels now have Randal Grichuk and Hunter Renfroe for the corner outfield spots.
“He did too much for us last year for me to say, ‘I’m not gonna play him,’” Nevin said. “He’s gonna sit, but I think he’s shown that when he’s in there more often, you get the better version of what Luis does. He’s gonna have to learn how to have some days off and go in and play, but I think he’s figured some things out in his swing and his comfort level so that won’t be a problem either.”Catcher Logan O’Hoppe is expected to start a rehab assignment next week, Nevin said.
