The Los Angeles Angels have been hit with some bad luck over the past several days.
On Monday, Mike Trout suffered a wrist injury that will likely keep him out 6-8 weeks.
Shohei Ohtani left Tuesday’s start with a blister on his finger that will keep him from starting the All-Star Game.
In addition, Anthony Rendon was forced to leave the game after fouling a pitch off of his shin.
The Angels lost a tough game to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday and ultimately dropped the series.
On Twitter, Angels writer Rhett Bollinger posted the video of Rendon fouling the pitch off of his shin, which brought him to the ground as he clutched his leg in pain.

The hits keep on coming for the Angels, who seemingly cannot catch a break.
Rendon was the latest casualty of the injury bug.
Nothing has been determined yet with Rendon and whether or not he’ll need a stint on the injured list, but he was forced to exit the game after the ball made contact with his shin.
After the game, Rendon was on crutches.
This is certainly a tough blow for the Angels, who have been struggling as of late and ultimately find themselves seven games back of first place in the American League West.
Despite dropping seven of their last 10 games, the Halos are still alive in the Wild Card race as they sit just four games behind the New York Yankees and defending World Series champion Houston Astros.
