Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon has missed the team's last five games due to a hamstring injury and won't be back anytime soon.

Speaking to reporters before Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins, Rendon revealed he was diagnosed with a high-grade partial tear in his left hamstring that will keep him out for an extended period:

"I'm definitely not going to be back in the 10-day window. It's been four years running now. So I was angry for a few days, frustrated, mad, everything you could imagine because the game keeps getting taken away from me, right? I want to win, and I want to be out there. I do everything in my power to stay out there, and it seems like nothing is working."

The injury occurred when Rendon was running out an infield single to lead off the game in the Angels' 7-5 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on April 20. He pulled up after stretching his leg to reach the base and was replaced by Zach Neto.

Rendon was placed on the injured list the following day, but Angels manager Ron Washington said an official diagnosis wouldn't be known until he got examined. The examination took place on Monday, with Rendon revealing the results on Friday.

This is the latest in a long line of injury issues Rendon has had throughout his career, but especially since signing a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Angels as a free agent in December 2019.

Rendon has played in 167 out of a possible 493 games since the start of 2021, including the seven games he has already missed this season.

Among the injuries Rendon has dealt with during that span are a strained groin, strained hamstring, knee contusion, hip impingement, wrist surgery and a leg issue.

The leg injury Rendon dealt with last season was the source of debate between him and the team. He said it was diagnosed as a fracture, but the Angels described it as a deep bone bruise.

Rendon didn't specify how long the recovery timeline would be for the hamstring injury. He was hitting .267/.325/.307 with no homers and three RBI in 83 plate appearances to start this season.

After a solid 6-4 start through their first 10 games, the Angels have lost 12 of their last 16 games. They are currently in fourth place in the AL West, three games ahead of the Houston Astros (7-19).
