Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will undergo hip surgery, an operation that will sideline him for a prolonged stretch, general manager Perry Minasian told reporters on Wednesday, calling it a 'long-term' absence.

Anthony Rendon, in the sixth season of a $245 million, 7-year contract, has played in just 205 games over the past four seasons and has been on the IL 12 times since 2021.

This will be the fifth straight season that Rendon misses significant time. He has two years and $72 million left on a seven-year, $245-million deal.
