Rendon played in 90% of the games the past 5 years. Trout - 85%.

Are you counting 2016? Trout played in 159 games that year. 

If you start in 2017, it's less than 85%.

Yeah, I looked at the last 5 seasons - 2016-2020.

I used a percentage because of the 60 game season last year.

Trout only played about 1/3rd of a full MLB season in 2020.

He played in 53 of the 60 games.

A full MLB season is 162 games. Injury prone!

"In other injury news Monday, third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) and outfielder Taylor Ward (finger) were both out of the Angels’ starting lineup after sustaining injuries in the team’s game on Sunday.

According to Maddon, neither were being placed on the injured list as of Monday. But by keeping them on the active roster, the Angels will have a shorthanded bench that could impact whether or not two-way star Shohei Ohtani will play both ways when he takes the mound on Tuesday.

On Sunday, Maddon said the training staff didn’t believe either Rendon nor Ward had suffered anything major. When Maddon spoke to reporters on Monday afternoon, he said he had not received a further update on either’s status.

Maddon also said there is “no due date yet” for Justin Upton (low right back strain) to return from the injured list. Maddon said Upton, who has been out since June 22, still needs to get more “work on the field before he feels he’s going to be completely ready.”

Maddon said he didn’t think Upton would need a rehab assignment."

[Justin]

Trout, Rendon, and Upton are making 88 million this season and in one month all three will be in their 30s. 

We need to find some more Ohtanis. 

[jsnpritchett]

15 pitchers on the active roster.  And Kurt Suzuki is the only non-injured position player not in the starting lineup.

Maddon needs to start getting the Angels doing yoga.

The rate this thread is going, I fully expect his arm to come unglued by the 3rd inning.

10,000 Ohtani pillows tonight for an estimated crowd of about 36,000 tonight.  Riots will be starting soon at the stadium soon.

Ward should be available for pinch running duties.

 

 

Oh wait Pujols plays for the Doyers now.
