Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will undergo hip surgery, an operation that will sideline him for a prolonged stretch, general manager Perry Minasian told reporters on Wednesday, calling it a 'long-term' absence.

This will be the fifth consecutive season that Rendon misses significant time. He has two years and $72 million left on a seven-year, $245 million deal.
