Anthony Rendon Leaves Game With Elbow Contusion

Angels Third Baseman Departs Friday Night's Contest

Rendon Exits Early Due to Right Elbow Injury

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was forced to leave Friday night's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning due to a right elbow contusion.

Rendon was hit by a pitch in the third inning and appeared to be in discomfort immediately. He remained in the game for one more inning before being replaced by Matt Duffy.

The Angels have not yet provided an update on Rendon's condition, but the injury is not expected to be serious.

Rendon's Injury History

Rendon has a history of elbow injuries, including a bone bruise that caused him to miss the first two months of the 2019 season.

He also missed time in 2020 due to a left elbow strain.

Angels' Outlook Without Rendon

Rendon is a key part of the Angels' offense, and his absence will be a blow to the team.

The Angels are already without Mike Trout, who is on the injured list with a calf strain.

With Rendon and Trout both out, the Angels will need other players to step up in their absence.
