Ex-Brewer Rengifo lost for season with ACL tear (and Adames hurt, too)
Former Brewers third baseman Luis Rengifo tore his ACL with the Padres during a strange play Saturday, and Willy Adames may also be done.
San Diego Padres third baseman Luis Rengifo suffered a devastating season-ending injury on Saturday during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. According to reports, the former Milwaukee Brewer tore his ACL and MCL during a chaotic play in the seventh inning, when he attempted to throw home and fell to the ground. The injury allowed the Rays to score two runs, tying the game at 6-6.
Rengifo had to be taken off the field on a cart, ending his season. The Padres, who are currently 1.5 games behind Arizona for the final National League wild-card spot, have lost five of their last six games. Meanwhile, former Milwaukee Brewer Willy Adames, who played shortstop for the team from 2021-2024, may also miss the remainder of the season due to a left elbow strain.
The injury required a platelet-rich plasma injection and has put Adames' season in jeopardy. The Giants, who have not offered him a contract larger than the seven-year, $182 million deal he signed before the 2025 season, have a 56-81 record heading into the week.
