"...there are reportedly multiple fractures in his ankle and foot. His ankle is believed to be dislocated as well."
If that's regular I don't want to see horrific. Now, according to Rendon himself:

“There’s nothing abnormal about my ankle injuries. They were two freak accidents and my ankle is stronger than ever from a ligament standpoint,” he said. “My first ankle break was done inversely. The one earlier this summer was done the opposite way, so they’re two different injuries. I’m not worried about them being related or occurring again.”
There also is a chance the injury works to his favor in the draft. After all, he hit .394 last season after missing fall workouts with the first ankle injury, which was deemed more serious.
So. It could be worse, and apparently was worse last year. Same leg. That's either good, or troubling. I believe he'll be fine, so I hope he signs with Boras and that, plus the injury, plus Alvarez gives the Pirates enough reason to pass on Rendon and sign a pitcher.
Because Rendon's the bat I want, without question. Ackley/Rendon/Smoak is a heart of the order I can get behind.
