Padres 2B Luis Rengifo Carted Off Field vs. Rays with Right Knee Sprain
Rengifo was injured while throwing home, and the wild relay allowed two Rays runs to score and tie the game at 6, officials said.
- On Saturday, August 29, 2026, San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Rengifo was carted off the field in St. Petersburg, Florida, after sustaining a right knee sprain during the seventh inning.
- Rengifo collapsed after throwing wildly toward home plate while attempting to nab Tampa Bay Rays runner Cedric Mullins; the errant throw allowed two runners to score, tying the game at 6.
- Before joining the Padres, the eight-year veteran signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. Across 38 games, Rengifo recorded 17 RBIs and four home runs.
- Following the injury, the Padres announced Rengifo will return to San Diego for further evaluation, while Tampa Bay secured a 7-6 victory after scoring four runs in the seventh inning.
- Jake Croneworth moved to second base and Xander Bogaerts replaced Rengifo at shortstop, as the utility player faces free agency this season after recently expressing gratitude for the Padres' postseason push opportunity.
