Padres second baseman Luis Rengifo was carted off the field in the seventh inning of Saturday's game against Tampa Bay after spraining his right knee. The injury occurred during the matchup between the San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays. The 25-year-old player was helped off the field by trainers before being transported to the dugout for further evaluation.

Details about the severity of the sprain have not yet been released by the team. Rengifo, who was hitting .267 with 7 home runs and 35 RBI in 72 games this season, will likely undergo additional imaging tests to determine the extent of his injury. The Padres are expected to provide an official update on his condition and potential absence timeline in the coming hours.

This marks another significant injury blow for the San Diego club, which has faced multiple key contributor absences during the 2024 campaign.
