Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon exited Friday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning due to a bruised right elbow. Rendon, who has been plagued by injuries this season, has appeared in only 41 games so far and had gone hitless in his last 12 at-bats. The third baseman previously missed 68 games due to a strained left hamstring and was sidelined for eight games recently because of lower back inflammation.

Throughout his five seasons with the Angels, the 34-year-old Rendon has struggled to stay healthy, never playing more than 58 games in a single season since signing a seven-year, $245 million contract. The team continues to face challenges with his availability on the field.
