Rengifo Out with Knee Injury | MLB News

Luis Rengifo’s season just took a brutal turn — carted off the field with a right knee sprain during Saturday’s game, and manager Craig Stammen called it “doesn’t look good.” The Padres’ key switch-hitter, who’s been lighting up the lineup since joining them in July — batting over .290 with 4 homers and anchoring left field — now heads back to San Diego for tests. His value can’t be overstated: a low-cost gamble after being released by the Brewers, where he struggled early, but thrived with the Padres post-All-Star break. With the team already reeling from other injuries and clinging to a half-game Wild Card lead, losing Rengifo could be devastating. The Padres now scramble to fill his void as they race toward the postseason.
