The Angels transferred Rengifo (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.
The transaction is merely for procedural purposes, as Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his right wrist Aug. 6. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jose Cisnero (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Rengifo is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2025.

Angels' Luis Rengifo: Goes on IL with wrist inflammation
Rotowire
The Angels placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation.
It appears an MRI cleared Rengifo of any structural damage in the wrist, but with the All-Star break looming, the Angels have opted to go ahead and put the super utility player on the IL. Rengifo will be eligible for activation on July 14, the last day of the first half, but realistically he'll probably be held out at least through the break. He had been seeing most of his playing time lately at third base, and that position now figures to be occupied mostly by Miguel Sano.
