Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon was caught in a physical confrontation with an Athletics fan at Thursday's opener in Oakland.
In a video that has since gone viral, the 32-year-old native Texan is seen grabbing the fan's shirt before swinging and missing as the Angels walked into the clubhouse following their 2-1 loss to the A's.
'What did you say?' Rendon asked while grabbing the front-row fan by his shirt. 'You called me a b****, huh?'
The man is heard denying Rendon's accusation, but the Angels star wasn't hearing it.
'Yeah you did, yeah you did, mother*****' Rendon said before taking an open-handed swipe at the A's fan, who told the third baseman to 'calm down.'
'We are aware of the video and we are now looking into the matter,' MLB said in a statement.
Neither Rendon nor the team have addressed the issue publicly. In an email to DailyMail.com, an Angels spokesman declined to comment on the video.
Rendon went 0 for 3 on Thursday after missing most of the 2022 season following wrist surgery.
