He has four home runs, 17 RBIs and an OPS of .784.<\/p>\n Moreover, Rengifo has continued his utility ways, spending time at second base, third base and in left field for the Padres. He’s given the team a much-needed jolt that has led to their winning ways.<\/p>\n \u201cHe came along right at the right time,\u201d manager Craig Stammen said of Rengifo earlier this month. \u201cWe just needed that little spark and that little bit of energy. And then, he had a hot bat, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Rengifo recently told the San Diego Union-Tribune<\/a> how lucky he felt to be with the Padres in the midst of a postseason push.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a good group here. \u2026 For me, they gave me the welcome feel pretty quick, and so I\u2019m grateful and thanks God for this.\u201d<\/p>\n Rengifo, 29, is in his eight season in Major League Baseball. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Los Angeles Angels before splitting time with Milwaukee and San Diego this year.<\/p>\n He’s set to hit free agency at the end of this season.<\/p>\n Sign up for our free newsletter<\/a> and follow us on Facebook<\/a> and X\/Twitter<\/a> for the latest news.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
