Anthony Rendon Had An Incident With A Fan On Opening Day
On Thursday night following the Angels’ 2-1 loss to Athletics, Rendon was leaving the dugout and walking into the tunnel toward the clubhouse when he stopped to confront a fan near the railing.
In the 12-second video, Rendon grabbed the fan by the shirt and pulled him in closer to his face. Rendon asked the fan if he called him a “b****.”
When the fan denied calling Rendon the obscenity, Rendon said, “Yeah you did. Yeah, mother*****r.”
Rendon let go of his shirt and swiped at his face, but the fan quickly moved out of the way at the last second.
Rendon walked away, but not before telling the fan to get his “b******s out of here.”
Wow! Uncool! pic.twitter.com/FNRFWL46A0

Unknown If Anthony Rendon Will Appeal Suspension
The suspension was administered by the MLB within the last hour, so it’s unknown at this time if Rendon will appeal.
If Rendon does appeal, the suspension will not be served until the discipline process is complete.
If Rendon does not appeal and chooses to serve the suspension immediately, it will go into effect beginning on Monday night when the Angels hit the road to take on the Seattle Mariners.
Rendon is hitless in the two games (0-6) but has one RBI.
