The Los Angeles Angels activated third baseman Anthony Rendon off the injured list on Friday, allowing their offense to look more like themselves again.
That hasn’t been the case more often that not in the early going, with Rendon missing a total of 20 games on his two injured list stints, first with a strained left groin and the latest malady after fouling a ball off his left knee.
The results weren’t immediate, as the Angels managed only three runs in a 4-3 loss to the Red Sox, thanks to a pair of two-run home runs by Boston.
