Angels' Luis Rengifo strains biceps on swing in on-deck circle

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Luis Rengifo strained his left biceps while taking a swing in the on-deck circle Thursday night, forcing him to leave the Los Angeles Angels' game against Cleveland.

The Angels' trainers left the dugout to check on Rengifo after he took a practice swing while Brandon Drury batted in the first inning. Rengifo was slumped over in apparent pain, and he eventually walked off the field to the clubhouse.

Randal Grichuk singled after pinch-hitting for Rengifo, who was playing right field and batting third.

Rengifo, who is riding a 14-game hitting streak, has been the struggling Angels' best hitter in recent weeks.
