OAKLAND — Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon had a confrontation with a fan following the Angels’ game on Thursday night, grabbing his shirt and swiping his hand toward the fan’s head.
The Angels had no comment on the incident, which was circulated on social media on Friday morning, but indicated that Rendon was prepared to address it with reporters on Saturday. The Angels are off on Friday.
The Angels dropped their season opener, 2-1, on Friday night, giving up two runs in the bottom of the eighth.
An MLB official said they “are aware of the video and are now looking into the matter.”
No idea what the full context is here, but it would appear that Anthony Rendon is about that action. Bro was a couple inches away from being able to say he caught a left in front of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani though. pic.twitter.com/jdFliAtvsr
