Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon told reporters on Friday that a doctor—who was not assigned by the team and is the fifth that he’s seen overall—diagnosed him with a fractured tibia. Rendon has not played in more than two months as he recovers on the 60-Day IL.
On July 4, Rendon sustained what was reported as a bone bruise when he hit a foul ball off his left leg. Now, in what appears as an injury that is worse than initially stated, the 33-year-old told reporters that he was unsure why the Angeles labeled his injury as a bone bruise.
“You got to ask them [the Angels],” Rendon said, per ESPN.
