Neither play the infield. 

Soto plays SS, Rengifo could move to 2B or LF. If he moves to 2B Fletcher to SS, and Soto sits or Rengifo moves to LF and Adell sits.

That's a whole lot of fucking around to put an infielder in the outfield where he doesn't belong and still, Rendon plays 3rd. 

[BTH]

Credit where credit is due to Zack Weiss.

I was shocked that he was out there for the 8th, but he did a great job.

Who sits once Rendon returns on Monday, Soto, or Adell?

He'll only be back for 3 games max. My guess is they play him Monday, give him Tuesday off, and then play him Wednesday.

Maybe they give Fletcher a day off one of those days (since he's just back from the IL) and then stick Rengifo in the OF the other day.

[Angels 1961]

I think Rendon plays half the game.

[Blarg]

There is no reason to put Rengifo in the outfield. What's wrong with you guys?

Go away, stay away, don't come back.

No way the guys beard behind the Xylitol sign is that black. Dude dyes that shit for sure.

Well, if there's one thing we learned the last couple of weeks, the improvement Soto showed in his age 22 season at Rocket City was not a fluke. Obviously, he's just red hot right now, but if he can eventually put up anywhere near .270 BA and .350 OBP that would be a big boost to the offense, and a big cost savings too.

Just for 3 games. It was brought by Langston on the Radio broadcast yesterday.

Rengifo played RF today.

Nice game by Suarez. He sure earned his pay this season.

Trout was out. That has nothing to do with Rendon returning to play 3rd.

This makes me laugh.

Cali won't be joining us for Sunday's GameDay thread. He has to arrange his sock drawer.

Personally ....I’d say they’re giving Rengifo a look at corner outfield positions because he has shown he can hit, and that he can be an everyday player, and that he can do it from both sides of the plate.  Some say he doesn’t belong out there but I say he could pull it off.  I think he could outplay Adell in left field right now.  
 

We have options in the infield.  And depth.  If Soto pans out and Rendon and Fletcher stay healthy next season why would you leave a proven bat like Rengifo’s out of the lineup? 
 

If it was my call I’d give the left field spot to Rengifo next season.  I’d tell him it’s his job to lose.  It keeps his bat in the lineup, it eliminates the need for everybody’s “dream platoon” of Adell and Moniak ....(which opens another roster spot).

(let both those guys go please)

Rengifo’s numbers offensively have been pretty darn good.  It’s not easy to find a .270 hitter these days and I think he can beat those numbers next season.  He’s got some pop in his bat as well.  Runs well.  
 

He brings far more value to the ball club than Adell or Moniak (or both).  Rengifo can fit into a lot of slots defensively.  That’s why I believe they’re giving him a look in the outfield right now.  I may be wrong, but if that IS the reason then I agree with the move.  
 

I say it needs to happen. 

[Stradling]

That’s perfect @Lou

He’s been consistent too, only one poor month out of five since the call up in early May.

[Angel Oracle]

Unless Detmers gets knocked out early in Oakland, 4 pitchers will have at least 109 innings pitched with a sub 4.00 ERA.

SEVEN years since previously having that 

Bullpen has been really solid the past couple of weeks.
