After signing a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers in June 2026, Luis Rengifo joined the San Diego Padres on July 8. He initially provided a significant offensive boost to the team, batting .311 over 30 games and offering stability in left field following an injury to Ramon Laureano.

However, Rengifo’s season ended after he suffered a torn ACL and a sprained MCL in his right knee during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, and the injury may impact his availability for a significant portion of the 2027 season.
