Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list this week and could return to the starting lineup as early as Tuesday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs.
Rendon participated in a full baseball workout during the Angels' off-day Monday, but manager Phil Nevin told reporters that the team likely would wait until Wednesday to activate the 11-year veteran.
Rendon hasn't played since May 13 because of a strained groin -- the latest injury-related absence that has become the norm in his Angels' tenure, which began in 2020 after he signed a seven-year, $245 million contract.
