Angels place Anthony Rendon on IL (left wrist contusion), select Kevin Padlo, move Jose Suarez to 60-day IL

Words fail...

I think you can just pin this headline and recycle it every 2 weeks

Guys such a soft beta bitch.

[HeavenlyHalos]

LMAO so much for back in the lineup tomorrow. I assume there was some sort of setback

[fan_since79]

Waiting for Strad to assure us he'll be back by this weekend.

[Hubs]

Who are they calling up? Fletcher?

They obviously can put Urshela on the 60-day DL to allow for a spot on the 40-Man Roster.

He's out 8-12 weeks, and 8 weeks is still 56 days.  

[rafibomb]

I’m assuming wasn’t ready for the Dodgers series but needs a few more days off and he can be placed retroactively on the IL from last Thursday. We desperately need the depth.

He got hit on the wrist with a 95 mph fastball. The human body is not designed to just deflect such things off of it without pain and/or injury.

He has been injury prone as an Angel but you’re right. Can’t harp on this one too much… 

 

hopefully Rengifo can step up.

Random AW.com super-alpha-male would have stopped the FB with his glare and melted the pitcher.   

[Chuck]

I bet they call up Kevin Padlo or Jake Lamb (hope not). 

[bloodbrother]

Rendon going on the IL used to matter but the truth is that it's not a big loss for the team anymore. Well, I guess it is in this instance simply due to the teams depth already getting hit with guys like Neto and Urshela also on the IL, so in that sense the timing of it all sucks

[Swordsman78]

The Rangers extracted a very high price from the Halos for those 3 wins.

Lost Gio for season

Neto out indefinitely

Took out Rendon for 10 days

Blew up the BP costing a win vs. Royals.

Hope there is some karma/payback coming the Rangers way.

This argument assumes all players fast twitch muscles or reflexes react at the same speed and they all would be hit on that exact pitch.

I don’t buy this since the replay shows he was slow to react and another quicker player might have flinched fast enough for the pitch to either just graze or be a close call miss which we’ve seen many times before. So yes that split second reaction time could be considered skill or athleticism. Things that seem to be deteriorating for him. 
 

His stance doesn’t seem to help in this regards. Probably costs him half a second of reaction time by being so static in that rocking back arch he does. All the weight in his lower back and back legs. What kind of hitter is in attack mode in that stance? No wonder he was one home run how do you generate power like this?

The Angels took 3 of 4 so that’s kind of Karma. What else could we hope for?

[floplag]

At this point you just gotta feel sorry for the guy as much as the fans. 
Hes not out there trying to get hurt but hes a magnet for random injuries... so frustrating at a spot we just dont have quality depth.

Please explain the role wings play in ass bump prevention during hopping 

[REDneck]

Rendon is such a uncanny dude..just a constant victim of unfortunate events!

Pray for him!
