Angels' Anthony Rendon: Exits with elbow bruise
Rotowire
Rendon was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta due to a right elbow contusion.
Rendon was hit by a pitch during his plate appearance in the second inning. He remained in the game to cover third base for another two frames before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth. It's possible the Angels give him a day off Saturday, and while an extended absence doesn't seem likely, it can't be ruled out given Rendon's track record of fragility.
Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Collects three hits vs. former club
Rotowire
Rendon went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.
None of Rendon's three singles led to any runs for the Angels, but the performance was still a positive one for the third baseman, who was playing at Nationals Park for the first time since winning the World Series with Washington in 2019. Rendon has dealt with a bevy of injuries since joining the Angels in 2020, and he's played in only 36 contests so far this year. The 34-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with two walks over three contests since returning from his most recent stint on the injured list Aug. 7.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
The Angels activated Rendon (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The 34-year-old is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf due to lower-back inflammation. Rendon will have to wait a day before seeing game action, however, since Tuesday's game was postponed into a doubleheader Wednesday.
Rendon (back) was spotted fielding groundballs Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The 34-year-old hasn't seen game action since July 26 due to lower-back inflammation, but he's poised to rejoin the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the IL.

Angels' Anthony Rendon: Returns to injured list
Rotowire
The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to July 27, due to lower-back inflammation.
The 34-year-old sat out Saturday and Sunday, so the injury presumably flared up during or after Friday's matchup with the A's. Rendon returned from a nearly three-month absence due to a hamstring strain in early July, but he played in just 14 games before going back on the injured list. It's unclear how long Rendon is expected to be sidelined this time around, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 6.
Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
It's the second consecutive game on the bench for Rendon, who has gone 5-for-30 in seven contests since the All-Star break. Willie Calhoun will bat cleanup as the designated hitter in the series finale versus Oakland.
