Angels' $245 Million Dollar Man To Have Season-Ending Surgery
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his right wrist, the team announces. In his three years with the Angels, he has hit .252/.359/.421 with 20 HR in 155 games. He has four years and $154M left on his deal.

Rendon will have the surgery to repair his right wrist.
He signed a 7-year, $245M contract with the Angels before the 2020 season, but has only been able to play in 155 out of 287 games—just 54% of his team's games. After 2022, as noted by Jeff Passan, there are still 4 years and $154M left on his contract. This season, he was hitting .228 with a .707 OPS, far below his standards.
Hamstring injuries and hip surgery limited him to just 55 games in 2021, a .240 average and just 6 home runs and 34 RBIs.
After starting the year on a nice run, the Angels hit hard times and lost 14 games in a row, and saw their manager, Joe Madden, get fired. Now this. They currently sit at 30-35, five games back of the final Wild Card spot in the American League.
