Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon took ground balls at third base before Saturday’s game in Oakland, and continues to progress with a sore oblique.
“He felt really good. He’s going to advance it a little bit more [Sunday morning]. More swinging, more defense,” manager Joe Maddon said after Saturday’s game. “He’s definitely making progress.”
Rendon has missed the first two games, and is still day-to-day. Maddon said he won’t know Rendon’s availability in this series — potentially as a pinch-hitter — until seeing how he feels and conferring with the training staff on Sunday.
