Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon's return to the lineup was delayed Tuesday, not by his health but by inclement weather for the scheduled game against the host New York Yankees.

The Angels reinstated the oft-injured Rendon from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday ahead of the game, which was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Rendon had gone on the IL on July 30, retroactive to July 27, after he missed two games with low back inflammation against the Oakland Athletics.

The Angels placed outfielder Taylor Ward, 30, on the paternity list on Tuesday, and he can miss a maximum of three days.

Also Tuesday, infielder Luis Rengifo had season-ending surgery on his right wrist. He was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday and further tests showed he needed surgery. The team said he is expected to be ready for spring training in 2025.

Rendon, 34, has only appeared in 33 games this season. He missed 2 1/2 months because of a hamstring strain, returning in early July to play 14 games before his latest IL stint, which was the minimum 10 days.

He has no homers, six RBIs and a .227 batting average this year.

Since joining the Angels in December 2019 on a seven-year, $245 million deal, Rendon has never played more than 58 games in a season. After hitting .290 with 136 homers and 546 RBIs in 916 games for the Washington Nationals from 2013-19, he is batting .245 with 22 homers and 117 RBIs in 233 games for Los Angeles.

Rengifo, 27, was removed from Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies due to a wrist flare-up, then sat out Thursday against the Rockies. He returned to the lineup on Friday against the New York Mets but exited after four innings due to wrist inflammation.

He spent nearly three weeks on the IL after he first injured his wrist on July 3.

Rengifo was batting .315 before the initial wrist injury. He returned to action 20 days later and has since gone 6-for-32 (.188) in nine games with his average falling 15 points. In 78 games this season, he is hitting .300 with six home runs and 30 RBIs.

Over six seasons (526 games) with the Angels, Rengifo is a .253 hitter with 53 home runs and 187 RBIs.
