Renfroe won his arbitration case against the Angels on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Renfroe will make $11.9 million, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. The slugging right fielder lines up for an everyday role in Anaheim after hitting .255/.315/.492 with 29 home runs in 125 games as a Brewer last season.
Renfroe was acquired by the Angels from the Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for Janson Junk, Elvis Peguero and Adam Seminaris.
Renfroe was acquired by Milwaukee from Boston in November 2021, and he's now on the move once again and will play for his fifth team in the past five years. The 30-year-old had a typical power-heavy campaign in 2022 with a .255/.315/.492 slash line, 29 home runs and 72 RBI in 125 games, and he'll provide an upgrade in the corner outfield for the Angels alongside Mike Trout and Taylor Ward.
Renfroe isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Arizona.
Renfroe is getting a rare day off for Wednesday's season finale after he hit .350 with a homer, two doubles, three runs, two RBI and three strikeouts over the last five games. Tyrone Taylor will take over in right field and bat ninth.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Drives in five
Rotowire
Renfroe went 4-for-5 with two homers, five RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-2 victory over the Reds.
Renfroe's first hit was a single to lead off the second inning. He then crushed two-run home runs in each of his next two at-bats in the fourth and fifth innings, driving in Rowdy Tellez both times. The right fielder's fifth RBI of the game came on a seventh-inning single that drove home Willy Adames. It was quite the night for Renfroe, who came into the game with just two hits in his last 21 at-bats. It was also just his second four-hit game of the season.
