One of the reasons the Angels selected Kevin Padlo, instead of someone like David Fletcher, to replace the injured Anthony Rendon is that Padlo has some power potential. He hit seven homers in 32 g…
ANAHEIM — When the Angels realized that Anthony Rendon was not going to be ready as quickly as they hoped, they opted to dig into the minors for the prospect of a little power.
Padlo, 26, has never homered in 49 major league plate appearances with four teams. This year at Triple-A, he hit seven home runs with a .555 slugging percentage in 32 games. He missed more than a month of the season with a broken left finger, an injury that had him out until about a week ago.Padlo can play first and third base, so in that sense, he helps replace both Rendon and Gio Urshela, who is going to be out for months with a fractured pelvis.
“We were kind of optimistic that you know with the bone bruise-ish thing, it would go away,” Nevin said. “He felt better on Sunday. But yesterday woke up and kind of had a little more to it.” When asked if he could definitively say that the Angels are not trading two-way star Shohei Ohtani, Minasian reiterated what he’s said before and referred to the Angels’ position in the standings. They are currently holding one of the three American League wild-card spots.
Right-handed reliever Ben Joyce said the numbness and tingling in his fingers is “mostly gone now,” but he still has not picked up a baseball.
