San Diego Padres infielder/second baseman Luis Rengifo is ruled out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL. The team announces that imaging shows a full tear in his right knee, and he will undergo season-ending surgery.
Rengifo sustains the injury during a 7–6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Multiple reports describe the incident occurring in the seventh inning as he throws across his body toward home and falls to the infield dirt.
While outlets differ mainly in how they describe his role—ranging from utility infielder to second baseman—the core details are consistent: the injury is an ACL tear, the team confirms it through imaging, and surgery is scheduled that will keep him from returning before the season ends.
