Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will be undergoing hip surgery, SoCal News Group's Jeff Fletcher reported on Wednesday. Angels general manager Perry Minasian said he expects the injury recovery to be a "long-term" situation, so it's unclear when Rendon will be able to play this season, if at all.

Anthony Rendon, in the sixth season of a $245 million, 7-year contract, has played in just 205 games over the past four seasons and has been on the IL 12 times since 2021.
