The Los Angeles Angels bought out the contract of third baseman Anthony Rendon, The Athletic reported Tuesday, restructuring the final season of a seven-year, $245-million free-agent deal signed before the 2020 season.

Rendon, 35, was owed $38.6 million in 2026. The report did not indicate how much of that remaining salary Rendon will receive, but whatever remains will reportedly be deferred for three years, or as many as five.

The Angels added Rendon on a massive free-agent contract after he helped the Washington Nationals to a World Series title in 2019. Rendon was named an All-Star that season after he batted .319 with 44 home runs and 126 RBIs. It was his second consecutive season with 44 home runs.

Rendon played 52 games in the shortened 2020 season, his first with the Angels, before a string of injuries began in 2021, starting with a groin strain. Knee, hamstring and hip issues later surfaced that season. A wrist injury limited his 2022 season while a leg fracture cut short his 2023 campaign.

Rendon never played more than 58 games in his five seasons on the field for the Angels. He did not play at all in 2025 because of a left hip injury that required surgery.

Rendon played 257 of a possible 1,032 games over the life of the deal and batted .242 for the Angels with 22 home runs and 125 RBIs. That compares to a .290 batting average with 136 home runs and 546 RBIs in 916 games over seven seasons for the Nationals.

Deadspin | CJ McCollum, Hawks rally late, even series vs. Knicks Apr 20, 2026; New York, New York, USA; Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (1) drives to the basket against New York Knicks guard Mikal Bridges (25) during the fourth quarter of game two of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images CJ McCollum scored six of his game-high 32 points in the final two-plus minutes Monday night for the visiting Atlanta Hawks, who stormed back from an eight-point deficit in the last five minutes to stun the New York Knicks 107-106 in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. The Hawks ended on a 15-6 run to even the best-of-seven series at a game apiece. Game 3 of the best-of-seven set is scheduled for Thursday night in Atlanta. The Hawks, whose only lead before their concluding surge was at 36-35, trailed by as many as 14 points in the third quarter. Atlanta fell behind 100-92 when Jalen Brunson hit a floater with 5:26 left. The teams traded empty possessions before Atlanta scored on its next three possessions to pull within 100-99 on Jalen Johnson’s layup with 3:25 remaining. McCollum drove past Brunson for the go-ahead layup with 2:08 left. New York’s OG Anunoby missed two free throws and McCollum hit a short jumper, after which Brunson sank a 3-pointer to tie the score at 103-103. McCollum committed a turnover and Brunson missed a mid-range jumper before McCollum put the Hawks ahead for good with a fadeaway jumper from the left baseline with 33.5 seconds left. Nickeil Alexander-Walker blocked Brunson’s shot and fed Johnson for a dunk to put the Hawks up 107-103 with 10.2 seconds left. Following a timeout, Brunson hit a 3-pointer that circled around the rim and went in, after which McCollum was fouled by Hart but missed both free throws. The Knicks had a timeout left, but they pushed the ball up the court and Hart dished to Mikal Bridges, who missed a 12-foot attempt for the win from the left wing as time expired. The Hawks shot 72.2% (13-for-18) in the fourth while the Knicks shot just 22.7% (5-for-22). Jonathan Kuminga had 19 points off the bench for the Hawks while Johnson (17 points) and Onyeka Okongwu (15 points) also got into double figures. Brunson scored 29 points for the Knicks. Hart recorded 15 points and 13 rebounds while Karl-Anthony Towns had 18 points. Anunoby finished with 14 points, and Mitchell Robinson scored 13 points off the bench.
