Mike Trout Injury News & Updates

Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Tuesday that Trout will not be traded this offseason, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Due to a variety of factors, it had always seemed like a long shot that Trout would be dealt, and now we can put any rumors of it to rest. The 32-year-old battled through another injury-shortened season in 2023, playing just 82 games because of a fractured hamate bone. Trout has nearly $250 million remaining on a contract that runs through 2030.

The Angels transferred Trout (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

A hamate fracture in Trout's left wrist has kept him on the IL since late August, and manager Tyler Nevin confirmed Sunday that Trout will not play again in 2023. Trout will finish with a .263/.367/.490 slash line with 18 homers and 44 RBI through 362 plate appearances, and he will now focus on getting ready for the start of next season. Michael Fulmer was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill Trout's spot on the 40-man roster.

Trout (wrist) hit off a tee Friday, per MLB.com.

Trout is accompanying the Angels on their current road trip and had been taking dry swings for about two weeks before progressing to hitting off a tee Friday. Neither Trout nor the team has closed the door on him returning to game action before the end of the campaign, though he's played in only one game since July 3 and wouldn't have time for a rehab assignment. Trout's return could provide the Angels with an end-of-season morale boost, but it wouldn't serve much of a purpose in the standings since the team has already been eliminated from postseason contention.

Trout (wrist) will join the Angels' for their six-game road trip this week and will start swinging the bat soon, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said earlier this month that Trout had resumed holding the bat and taking dry swings, and with the 11-time All-Star apparently having suffered no setbacks while doing so, he's poised to take the next step forward in his rehab by hitting off a tee and eventually taking batting practice. Trout doesn't look like he'll have enough time to head out on a rehab assignment before the minor-league season comes to a close, but he should still have the opportunity to test the health of his fractured left wrist by facing off against a pitching machine or playing in simulated games. Even though the Angels are out of playoff contention, the club is still keeping the door open for Trout to return from the 10-day injured list before the season ends.

Trout has been holding a bat and taking dry swings without feeling much soreness for about a week, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout is recovering from a hamate bone fracture in his left wrist that originally landed him on the injured list in early July. His attempt to return Aug. 22 was probably ill-advised, as he ended up going back on the IL with lingering soreness the following day. Trout has indicated that he wants to return to action this season, though the Angels may opt to shut him down at some point given that they've fallen out of postseason contention.

Trout had additional tests on his injured left wrist Sunday that revealed no structural damage, and he indicated that he still plans to return this season, MLB.com reports.

Trout missed 38 games due to a fractured left hamate bone before he was activated from the injured list Aug. 22. He was able to play in only one contest before going back on the IL, and he's since acknowledged that he returned too soon, as pain was still affecting his swing. Despite the fact that the Angels have fallen out of playoff contention, Trout indicated that he expects to return before the end of the campaign, though the organization will also have a say in that matter. Since testing Sunday revealed no structural damage, pain tolerance will be the main factor determining when Trout can start swinging a bat again.

Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to August 23, with a left hamate fracture.

Trout lasted just one game on the Angels' active roster before returning to the IL due to continued soreness in his surgically repaired left wrist. He will be shut down for 10 days and the hope is that he can make it back at some point before the end of the season. That's no guarantee, though, especially with the Angels all but out of the playoff picture at this point. Mickey Moniak will be the club's primary center fielder while Trout is out.

The Angels placed Trout (wrist) back on the injured list Thursday, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.

Trout initially landed on the injured list in early July due to a hamate bone fracture in his left wrist and was activated Tuesday. The 32-year-old outfielder then sat out both games of Wednesday's doubleheader due to lingering soreness in his wrist and will now find himself back on the IL. General manager Perry Minasian said Trout will be completely shut down for the next 10 days but is hopeful that Trout will be able to return before the end of the season. However, the team may not be in a rush to bring him back if the Angels are eliminated from playoff contention while Trout is out.

Trout (wrist) isn't in the Angels' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Trout was held out of Game 1 due to lingering wrist soreness, and he'll now officially sit out both halves of Wednesday's twin bill in order to ensure a full recovery. Mickey Moniak will fill in for Trout in center field and bat sixth.

Trout (wrist) is not in the lineup for the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout experienced lingering soreness in his surgically-repaired left wrist after returning Tuesday from a six-week stay on the injured list. There's no risk of a re-injury, but the 32-year-old superstar might have to play through some pain for a bit and could require regular days off as he rounds back into full strength. Randal Grichuk, Mickey Moniak and Hunter Renfroe are starting across the outfield for the Angels in the first half of Wednesday's twin bill.

Trout (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Reds, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout says he is still dealing with soreness, but he felt the urgency to return with time running out on the season. It sounds like he'll be playing injured and playing regularly, but those plans could change if and when the Angels are eliminated from the AL Wild Card picture.

Trout (wrist) could return to action Tuesday against the Reds, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout could have returned Monday, but he will have to wait at least one more day with the Angels' scheduled matchup with the Reds pushed back by rain. Manager Phil Nevin did not guarantee that Trout would be activated Tuesday, but fellow outfielder Jordyn Adams was optioned Sunday, so if all checks out with Trout's wrist it seems more likely than not that he will rejoin the roster Tuesday.

Trout (wrist) could be activated for Monday's game against the Reds, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The Angels optioned Jordyn Adams to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, and as Blum notes, that seemingly paves the way for Trout to return to action. We already knew he was very close to returning after taking swings in an indoor batting cage over the weekend, and the Adams roster move is another strong sign that Trout is ready to be activated. Those in weekly lineup leagues should plan accordingly.

Trout (wrist) took swings in an indoor batting cage Saturday and is "very close to returning," per the Associated Press.

Trout progressed to facing live pitching Thursday and experienced some soreness afterward, but he went right back to swinging a bat Saturday. That bodes well for his chances of being activated from the injured list in the near future, perhaps as soon as Monday, when the Angels are slated to start a three-game home set versus Cincinnati. The team is taking a "wait-and-see" approach with Trout for the time being, per MLB.com, with manager Phil Nevin calling the slugger's status "a day-to-day thing."

Trout (wrist) faced live pitching Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It was his first time doing so since he fractured the hamate bone in his left wrist in early July. Trout was still experiencing some lingering discomfort as of Tuesday, but Fletcher notes that the 32-year-old outfielder could be activated from the injured list "any day now" -- maybe after just a couple more live BP workouts.

Trout (wrist) may begin facing live pitching this week, per MLB.com.

Trout has been hitting off a machine for about a week, and it now appears that he's on the verge of facing live pitching for the first time since suffering a hamate bone fracture in his left wrist in early July. The star outfielder recently said that he's still feeling pain in the wrist but expressed optimism in his progress and indicated that he believes he's getting closer to returning to the field. The Angels have been patient with Trout's recovery, though they could certainly use the boost that his return to the lineup would bring, as the team currently sits seven games out of a wild-card spot in the American League.

Trout still has some pain in his left wrist and remains without a timetable for a return, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout has made progress in his recovery from a hamate bone fracture over the first half of August, moving from dry swings to hitting soft toss before advancing to taking contact swings against a pitching machine. However, he indicated Monday that he's not yet hitting full-velocity pitches and that he's still experiencing some pain, though he added that he's experiencing daily improvement. The Angels currently sit seven games out of a wild-card spot in the American League and could certainly use Trout's bat in the lineup, but they are unlikely to rush him back into action. Jalyn Smoot of MLB.com reports that the superstar outfielder's return will depend on pain tolerance and that Trout feels that he's getting closer to getting back on the field. "I'm feeling better every day," Trout said. "I'm getting more confident with my swing. Once it gets to a point where the pain is bearable, I'll be out there."

Trout (wrist) began hitting against a pitching machine Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout will only face machine-thrown breaking balls initially, but he should soon advance to hitting high-velocity fastballs as he continues to work back from the hamate bone fracture that has kept him sidelined since early July. If his surgically-repaired wrist responds well to this uptick in activity, the Angels can then begin plotting out a date for his return.

Trout (wrist) recently progressed to hitting soft toss, per MLB.com.

Trout has been ramping up his activity in the past two weeks, taking "really light, dry swings" with a fungo bat July 26, advancing to dry swings with a regular bat five days later and subsequently progressing to hitting soft toss. The star outfielder has been out of action since suffering a hamate bone fracture in his left hand July 3, and he underwent surgery soon thereafter. Now that he's taking contact swings, Trout isn't expected to need a long ramp-up period before he returns to the big-league squad.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Thursday that Trout (wrist) will soon advance to contact swings, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has been doing dry swings without issue since Monday and is about ready to take a big step forward in his recovery from July 5 surgery for a left hamate bone fracture. If all continues to go smoothly as he ramps up the intensity of his side work, the 31-year-old superstar could rejoin the playoff-hunting Angels around the middle of August.

Trout (wrist) will take dry swings prior to Monday's game in Atlanta, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This is a big step for Trout, who recently went through running drills and had previously been holding a bat and taking very light dry swings. It's unclear when he will be able to return from surgery on his left hand, but facing live pitching will be the next big hurdle.

Trout (hand/wrist) went through some running drills at Comerica Park on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Any sort of baseball activity is welcome for Trout as he works his way back from hamate bone surgery on his left hand. He will need to show he can field and hit before real progress is made, though, and it's not clear when he might be ready for that. Trout has been sidelined for a little more than three weeks.

Trout (hand/wrist) had the stitches removed Wednesday from his surgically-repaired left hand, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout hasn't been cleared yet for any baseball activity, but he's on the mend from July 5 surgery to remove the fractured hamate bone from his left hand/wrist. There should be a better idea on a timetable for his return once he starts swinging a bat. The initial expectation was that he would be sidelined for 4-to-8 weeks.

Trout underwent surgery Wednesday to remove his fractured left hamate bone, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The operation went as expected. While no timetable for Trout's return has been established, it's a surgery which typically results in anywhere between a four- to eight-week absence. Mickey Moniak has started each of the first two games in center field for the Angels since Trout was hurt, but Jo Adell could also see action there, particularly against lefties.

Trout said Tuesday that he's not sure whether he'll need surgery on his fractured left hamate bone, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Surgery is usually required for this type of injury, but it sounds as if Trout hasn't been given official word yet. A clearer timetable for the slugger could be available in the coming days, but fantasy managers should plan for him to be sidelined a month, at minimum, and quite possibly longer.

Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamate fracture, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout suffered the unfortunate injury on a swing during Monday's loss to the Padres. It's something which typically results in an absence of at least a month and perhaps much longer. Players also often have trouble regaining all of their power initially upon returning. The Angels have recalled Jo Adell and he could see some starts in Trout's place. Most of the playing time in center field figures to go to Mickey Moniak, though.

Trout, who exited Monday's game against the Padres with a left wrist injury, went for X-rays and said he's hoping it's just a sprain, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

He suffered the injury while fouling off a pitch and left the game with the trainer. Trout was in a lot of pain after the game and acknowledged he's concerned about the injury. It's quite possible he has played his last game of the first half, and the team should announce an official diagnosis sometime Tuesday.

Trout left Monday's loss to the Padres in the eighth inning with an injury to his left hand, the Orange County Register reports.

Trout fouled a ball off at the plate and shook his left hand and then left with a trainer. It's not clear the severity of the injury or the specifics of the injury. He may need a day off in any scenario.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Trout went six games without a homer entering Sunday. The outfielder started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning. For the season, he's up to 18 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .260/.365/.493 slash line through 80 contests. He struggled in June, batting .227 while striking out and a 27.5 percent clip, and with six strikeouts in eight plate appearances to begin July, it's a trend worth monitoring.

Trout is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox.

It's a routine night off for Trout, who tallied his second stolen base of the year but also struck out three times in Monday's series opener versus Chicago. Taylor Ward, Mickey Moniak and Hunter Renfroe will start across the outfield for the Angels on Tuesday.

Trout went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in a 2-1 victory versus the White Sox on Monday.

Trout struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he found a way to help the Angels pull out the win in the ninth. The star outfielder walked to lead off that frame, advanced to second on a Shohei Ohtani walk, succeeded in a double steal with Ohtani and scored the walk-off run on a wild pitch. Despite Monday's heroics, Trout is long past the days when he was a near lock for double-digit steals -- since 2020, he's tallied just six thefts in seven attempts.

Trout went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 25-1 rout of the Rockies.

The Angels struck early and often, so Trout got some rest, exiting for pinch hitter Andrew Velazquez in the fifth inning. It was still a productive game for Trout, who has gone 8-for-21 (.381) with three homers and four RBI over his last six games. The star outfielder is up to 17 homers, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored, one stolen base and a .258/.366/.491 slash line on the year through 325 plate appearances. While his ratios are down, he's at least enjoyed good health so far, putting him in line to exceed his counting stats from 2022.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Rockies.

Trout went back-to-back with Shohei Ohtani in the fifth inning, but the Angels' offense stalled out after that. This was Trout's third homer in June, but he's struggled by hitting .164 (11-for-67) over 19 contests this month. The slump has him down to a .250/.358/.474 slash line with 16 long balls, 40 RBI, 47 runs scored and one stolen base through 72 games this season.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Trout linked up with Shohei Ohtani to club back-to-back home runs off Zack Greinke in the fifth frame. The long ball was his 15th of the season, which is the seventh most in the American League, while Sunday's tilt marked his second straight mult-hit effort. Through 69 games, Trout is slashing .257/.364/.479 with 46 runs scored and 39 RBI.

Trout is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers.

Although he reached base four times in Monday's win over the Rangers, Trout is hitting just .132/.306/.211 so far in June. He'll have a day off to reset. Mickey Moniak is playing center field and batting seventh.

Trout went 1-for-3 with three walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-6 win over the Rangers in 12 innings.

Though stolen base totals and success rates have been ticking up league-wide in 2023 thanks in part to the implementation of the pitch clock, Trout hasn't reversed his downward-trending production on the basepaths. In fact, Monday marked the first time he had even attempted to steal a base all season. With both of Trout's last two seasons having been derailed by injuries, the 31-year-old will most likely continue to be selective about when he chooses to run, mainly for preservation purposes. He's certainly still capable of stealing bases when he wants to; according to Baseball Savant, Trout's Statcast-measured sprint speed still places him in the top four percent of all players.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Trout's gotten off to a sluggish start in June, going just 3-for-21 (.143) with five walks over the first six games of the month. He homered five times over the last two weeks of May, but Wednesday's blast was his first long ball in June. It's likely little more than a blip on the radar for the star outfielder, who's maintained a .265/.363/.500 slash line with 14 homers, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases through 59 contests this season.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Trout opened the scoring Wednesday with a two-run, 461-foot bomb off Lance Lynn in the first inning. The homer is Trout's fifth in his last 13 games -- he's gone 14-for-48 with a 1.018 OPS in that span. It's been another productive season for the 10-time all-star. Trout's now slashing .278/.369/.522 with 13 homers, 36 runs scored and 31 RBI through 236 plate appearances this year.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's victory over the Red Sox.

For the second straight game Trout smacked a homer to bring his season total to 12. Despite the homers, Trout hasn't had a great May slashing .227/.318/.440 this month. Trout has been so consistently good throughout his career that his .891 OPS in 2023 would be the lowest since his debut season in 2011.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.

Trout doubled the Angels' lead with his eighth-inning blast. The star outfielder has three homers over his last six contests, a span in which he's gone 6-for-21 (.286). For the season, Trout is batting .275 with an .883 OPS, 11 homers, 25 RBI and 32 runs scored. He hasn't attempted a stolen base through 46 games.

Trout isn't starting Friday against the Twins, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

After hitting home runs in back-to-back games, Trout earned himself an off day Friday. He'll be replaced in center field by Mickey Moniak, who will lead off the Angels' lineup.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-5 win over Baltimore.

Trout gave the Angels an early 3-0 lead with his two-run shot in the third inning. It was the second straight contest with a long ball for the superstar outfielder following a 10-game stretch without any homers or RBI. Trout is tied for the Angels lead with 10 home runs on the campaign.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Orioles.

He was the only Halos hitter to solve Kyle Bradish on the night, launching his ninth long ball of the year in the fourth inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1. Trout snapped an 11-game homer drought with the performance, a stretch in which he batted just .214 (9-for-42) with one RBI.

Trout (elbow) is back in the Angels' lineup Monday in Baltimore, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout sat out Sunday's game against the Guardians with some soreness in his left (non-throwing) elbow, but he's back in there Monday. The superstar will be in center field and batting second versus Grayson Rodriguez.

Trout, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, is dealing with some soreness in his left elbow, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Sunday was already a planned off day for Trout, and it's good timing for some rest after he was hit by a pitch in the left elbow during Saturday's contest. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and the 31-year-old should be back in the lineup for the Angels within the next couple days. Mickey Moniak is manning center field in Sunday's series finale at Cleveland.

Trout is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat for the second time this month in what looks to be nothing more than a maintenance day while Sunday's series finale begins at 11:35 a.m. ET. Mickey Moniak will replace Trout in center field and will serve as the Angels' leadoff man.

Trout is absent from the Angels' lineup on Thursday in St. Louis, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

It's a scheduled day off for the superstar. Brett Phillips will get a start in center field in Trout's place.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

Trout's solo shot to left field put the Angels ahead 5-4 in the top of the ninth inning. The three-time AL MVP is now slashing .296/.388/.583 on the season. While the veteran outfielder isn't leading the league in any major offensive categories, he's still a reliable fantasy option.

Trout went 3-for-4 with two homer runs, five RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.

This game was a microcosm of Trout's entire Angels tenure: a generational talent not being supported by the rest of his team. Despite clobbering two homers over the center field wall, the Angels couldn't finish the job on Saturday night. Luckily for fantasy managers, the star outfielder hasn't stopped producing, as his 1.020 OPS ranks 11th in the league. The three-time AL MVP also has hits in 10 of his last 11 games.

Trout went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Trout was part of back-to-back-to-back home runs to open the sixth inning as he, Taylor Ward and Shohei Ohtani all hit long shots off of Jordan Lyles. The 3-time MVP has collected multiple hits in five of his last seven games and swatted a home run for a second straight contest. Trout is slashing .329/.440/.632 through 91 plate appearances this season.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's loss to the Royals.

Trout plated the Angels' first run with a third-inning single and later gave the team a short-lived lead with a two-run blast to center field in the fifth. The superstar outfielder finished with his third multi-hit game over his past four contests, a span in which he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) overall. To nobody's surprise, Trout is putting up solid numbers on the campaign, slashing .306/.425/.556 with four homers, 12 RBI and 14 runs over 87 plate appearances.

Trout is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

It's a schedule day off for Trout, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Luis Rengifo will get the start in center in Trout's absence.

Trout is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

With the Angels' series opener in Boston beginning at 11:10 a.m. ET, Trout and Anthony Rendon will exit the lineup in what looks to be strictly maintenance-related absences for the two veterans. Brett Phillips will check in as the Angels' starting center fielder in Trout's stead.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs in a 9-5 win against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

The Angels fell behind by four runs early in the contest, but the team turned it around, and Trout produced the first lead with his 427-foot, three-run shot in the fifth inning. The long ball was the second in as many games for the future Hall of Famer and pushed his hitting streak to seven contests. Trout has reached safely in all eight of the Angels' contests this season and is slashing a robust .346/.528/.769 with three homers and eight RBI.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-3 loss to Toronto.

Trout gave the Angels an early 2-0 lead with a two-run blast of Chris Bassitt that traveled and estimated 441 feet. The future Hall of Famer has homered twice in seven games for the Angels, and he's slashing an outstanding .348/.531/.696 across 23 at-bats.

Trout went 3-for-4 with one double, one homer, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's victory over the Athletics.

Trout went 0-for-3 during his season debut against Oakland on Thursday, but he recorded a double Saturday and logged two more extra-base hits during Sunday's series finale. The 31-year-old appeared in 119 games last year despite missing approximately a month due to a rib issue, but he still slashed .283/.369/.630 with 40 homers, 85 runs and 80 RBI. Although Trout has dealt with injuries over the last few seasons, he remains an elite fantasy option during his 13th year in the majors.

Trout will not play in the remaining Cactus League games, but he will play in the freeway series against the Dodgers before the regular season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout won't get any action in Arizona after returning from his work with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. His time in that tournament ended by being struck out by Angels teammate Shohei Ohtani in the championship game, but he did play well in the WBC with a .296/.406/.556 slash line. Trout should be plenty ready for the start of the season, and no one should be surprised if he's once again among the best players in the sport.

Trout is slashing .318/.444/.591 with a home run, a double, a triple, seven RBI, four runs and a stolen base in six games with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

Though Trea Turner has absorbed much of the spotlight for a United States team that will be playing in the WBC final Tuesday, Trout has been a major part of the offense as well, ranking second on the team with seven RBI. After missing over 40 games with a back injury last year, the future Hall of Famer appears fully healthy this spring, as he's one of four players on Team USA who has played in all six tournament contests thus far. Trout is still one of the best hitters in baseball, so he's pretty much guaranteed to be an elite offensive producer as long as he remains healthy.

Trout Sam Blum of The Athletic on Friday that his back has been a "non-issue" for four months.

Trout missed time last season with a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction, which is a chronic injury. However, he showed no ill effects after returning, posting a 1.056 OPS with 16 home runs over 40 games down the stretch. The back problem remains a long-term concern and Trout has been an injury risk in recent years even beyond the back issue. However, it has not affected his offseason work and he's on track to enter spring training healthy.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Wednesday against the Athletics.

Trout took Norge Ruiz deep in the eighth inning to tally his first 40-homer season since 2019. He ended the campaign with a surge of power to reach that mark, as he slugged four long balls across his last nine games. Though Trout again missed time due to injury this season, he ended the campaign with a very impressive .283/.369/.630 line across 499 plate appearances.

Trout (foot) went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

Trout missed only one game with foot soreness after fouling a ball off his foot Friday. The 31-year-old made an impact in his return, scoring the opening run in the first inning and adding a solo shot in the fourth. He's homered three times in his last six games and he's up to 39 for the year, one shy of reaching the 40-homer mark for the third time in his career. The star outfielder has added a .282/.367/.627 slash line with 79 RBI, 84 runs scored and a stolen base through 116 contests.

Trout (foot) is starting in center field and batting second Sunday against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout was held out of Saturday's lineup due to foot soreness, but his quick return indicates the injury isn't a serious concern. The 31-year-old is coming off an electric September, as he had a .301/.365/.710 slash line with 10 home runs, eight doubles, 20 RBI and 20 runs in 24 games.

Trout will sit Saturday against the Rangers due to a sore foot, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout's performance has been as strong as ever this season, but injuries have limited him to 115 games. His latest issue, which developed after he fouled a ball off his foot Friday, doesn't seem to be particularly serious, but the Angels have no incentive to push things at the end of a lost season. Taylor Ward will slide to center field Saturday, with Luis Rengifo moving out to right.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Athletics.

Trout struck out his first time up and came back in the fourth with a leadoff home run off Adrian Martinez to make it a 1-1 game. The star outfielder has hit safely in six of his last seven games and is now up to 10 home runs in the month of September, to go along with 20 RBI and 18 runs scored. His 26 strikeouts over that stretch, however, are a bit concerning.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles, three runs and a walk during Sunday's 10-3 win over the Twins.

Trout extended his hitting streak to five games during Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, and he reached base four times during the blowout win. During his current hitting streak, the 31-year-old has gone 7-for-19 with a homer, three doubles, six RBI, five runs, three walks and four strikeouts.

Trout is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout looks to be receiving little more than a maintenance day while the Angels close out their series with Seattle with a matinee game. Magneuris Sierra checks in as the Angels' center fielder in place of Trout, who is hitting .309 with eight home runs and 13 RBI through his first 14 games of September.

Trout went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Trout took a breath this week, going two games without a long ball before teeing off again Friday. He's hit seven of his 36 homers this year against the Mariners, though this was just his second in a home game versus the Angels' division rivals in 2022. The star outfielder has added a stellar .279/.366/.629 slash line with 71 RBI, 73 runs scored and a stolen base through 103 games.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

Trout's outrageous run continued with a game-tying, two-run blast in the fifth inning Monday. He's gone deep in seven consecutive games, going 11-for-28 (.393) with 11 RBI during that stretch. The star outfielder is now slashing .279/.368/.633 with 35 long balls and 69 RBI through 100 games.

Trout is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Trout homered in each of his last six games, but he will get a chance to rest Sunday. Mickey Moniak will take over in center field.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored.

In what's becoming a daily ritual, Trout hit a homer for the sixth straight game. His last two blasts have cashed in multiple runs, and his three-run blast Saturday gave the Angels more than enough cushion. The star outfielder's homer streak has set an Angels franchise record for most consecutive games with a long ball. He's up to 34 this year, to go with a .280/.369/.629 slash line, 67 RBI, 71 runs scored, 20 doubles and a stolen base through 99 contests.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-3 loss to the Astros on Friday.

Trout has been on fire lately and has now hit home runs in five straight games. The blast off Lance McCullers gives Trout 33 home runs and 64 RBI on the season. Trout had missed over a month of action due to a back injury earlier this season but it does not appear to be bothering him at this point of time.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to Detroit.

Trout hit one of three long balls for the Angels in the contest, launching a solo shot in the fifth inning. It marked the fourth straight game in which the All-Star outfielder has gone deep. Since returning from the IL on Aug. 19, Trout is slashing .310/.364/.676 with eight homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's extra-innings victory versus the Tigers.

Trout opened the scoring Tuesday, taking Eduardo Rodriguez deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning. The homer was his 31st of the season and he has now gone deep in three consecutive games. Since returning from the 10-day injured list Aug. 19, Trout has produced a .299 average with seven long balls, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored over 67 at-bats in 17 games.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three total runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Tigers.

Trout homered for the second straight game, and he's up to 30 for the year. It's the first time he's reached that mark since he slugged 45 homers in 2019, as the shortened 2020 season and an injury-plagued 2021 limited him to 25 long balls across 89 contests in those two years. This year, he's posted a .275/.365/.603 slash line with 60 RBI, 66 runs scored and a stolen base through 394 plate appearances.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

The Angels offense had a hard time during Jose Urquidy's seven innings, but Trout ensured his team wouldn't be shut out with a solo shot to center field in the eighth. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 19, the star outfielder has gone deep five times and notched eight RBI over 15 games. Trout is one long ball away from the seventh 30-homer season of his career.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

After going hitless Saturday, Trout got back on track with a solo shot to center in the ninth inning. The long ball was Trout's fourth in his last five games and his 28th on the season. After missing about a month to injury, he has returned to form and is positioned to finish with over 30 home runs for the seventh time in his illustrious career.

Trout went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-0 win against Toronto.

The Angels' offense was uncharacteristically productive, and Trout didn't miss out on the action, belting a two-run homer off Yusei Kikuchi in the eighth inning. It was the third straight game with a long ball for the slugger, and he's gone 7-for-20 while hitting safely in each of his past five contests. When Trout crossed the plate at the end of Friday's home-run trot, he became the leading run-scorer in team history, per Sam Blum of The Athletic.

Trout is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout is sitting in a pre-planned off day, after he had started in center field or at designated hitter each of the past six days following his return from the 10-day injured list last Friday. The 10-time All-Star has essentially picked up right where he left off prior to going on the shelf with the rib injury, as he's gone 7-for-23 with a pair of home runs since being activated. Magneuris Sierra will spell Trout in center field in the series finale.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to Tampa Bay.

Trout broke the scoreless game open with a solo shot to left in the eighth inning. The home run is his second in as many days and 26th on the season. He is batting .304 in six games since returning from the IL with a rib issue as he finally looks like himself again.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Tampa Bay.

The Angels struggled offensively against a quartet of Rays pitchers, and Trout's sixth-inning long ball was Los Angeles' only run in the game. The homer was the slugger's first since he was activated from a lengthy stay on the injured list Aug. 19. Since his return, Trout is slashing .278/.316/.444 over five contests.

Trout went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 1-0 win over Detroit.

Trout's presence in the lineup was a welcome sight for the Angels (not to mention fantasy managers who roster him), as the superstar slugger missed over a month of action due inflammation in his left rib cage. The veteran outfielder fouled out in his first at-bat, ripped a 112 mph single in his second and struck out in his final two trips to the plate. Trout said Friday that he'll need to do about 15 extra minutes of pregame work in order to get ready to play, but he added that he plans to be in the lineup every day, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Trout (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Trout's activation was expected Friday, and he should be back in the lineup for the series opener against the Tigers. He's been participating in baseball activities since early August and has been taking batting practice in recent days. The 31-year-old missed a month due to his injury but slashed .270/.368/.599 with 24 homers, 55 runs, 51 RBI and a stolen base over 79 games earlier in the season.

Trout (ribs) hopes to play Friday against the Tigers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has been sidelined with his rib injury for a month, an issue that is related to a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction. However, the 31-year-old resumed baseball activities in early August and has been taking batting practice over the last few days. He said Wednesday that he's no longer experiencing pain and expects to be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Tigers as long as he doesn't encounter any issues before then.

Trout (ribs) responded well after taking live batting practice Monday and could be activated by the Angels this week, per MLB.com.

Trout's progress has come about rapidly over the past several days, as he was doing soft-toss drills Saturday and has since moved up to hitting out of a cage and taking live batting practice. He's also been throwing and running, and the superstar slugger indicated Monday that he felt "great" after facing live pitching. Trout had a scheduled recovery day Tuesday, but Angels manager Phil Nevin refused to rule him out of making a return Wednesday. That may be premature -- the team has an off day Thursday, so it would seem to make more sense for Trout to be held out until after then -- but all indications are that his return is imminent.

Trout (ribs) participated in a full round of batting practice Sunday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout also hit on the field Saturday and may be able to progress to facing live pitching in the near future. The 31-year-old remains without a clear return timeline, but his recent progress is an encouraging sign for a potential return in late August or early September.

Trout (ribs) felt good after hitting on the field Saturday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout's outlook didn't look good after it was revealed in late July that he was dealing with a rare back condition, but he was clear as soon as the reports came out that he'd be able to return this season. While the Angels have no incentive to rush him back in a lost season, it does indeed appear that he'll be back in action eventually, as he's continued to make steady progress in his recovery.

Trout (ribs) played catch on the field Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

There were fears that Trout would be done for the year after reports emerged in late July that the start outfielder was dealing with a rare back condition. He's been adamant that he'll return, however, and that optimism seems to be backed up by his activities. He advanced to tee work Monday and has also hit soft toss in the cage. He'll hit on the field Saturday, per Fletcher.

Interim manager Phil Nevin said Trout (ribs) "feels really good" after hitting off a tee Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old began taking dry swings over the weekend, and he quickly progressed to hitting off a tee with no apparent issues. The next step for Trout is batting practice, and from there he'll advance to facing live pitching. The start center fielder remains without a clear return timeline, but an activation in mid-to-late August could be possible if he avoids any setbacks.

Trout (rib cage) took dry swings Saturday and had no issues, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout has been out since before the All-Star break due to a rare back condition that caused left rib cage inflammation. The Angels have little incentive to rush him back, as they sit 11.5 games back of a playoff spot, but the star outfielder has indicated that he intends to return this season. Exactly when he's likely to return remains unclear, as he still has several steps to go in his recovery, but it's nonetheless a positive to see him able to swing without issues.

Trout (rib cage) started rotational work Wednesday with the goal of building him back up to the point that he's able to swing a bat, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

According to Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad, Trout didn't experience any issues during the workout, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Still, it's unclear when the superstar outfielder may be able to resume swinging. Trout hasn't played in a game since July 16 but has said that he expects to play again this season, though the organization has no reason to rush him along given that the Angels are currently 11 games out of a wild-card spot.

Trout (rib cage) is scheduled to resume rotational exercises Wednesday and could be cleared to start swinging a bat again soon thereafter, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After receiving positive feedback from Dr. Robert Watkins on Thursday, Trout looks poised to take a small step forward in his recovery from left rib cage inflammation, an injury that resulted in him being placed on the injured list during the All-Star break. A few days earlier, Angels trainer Mike Frostad relayed that Trout's rib issue is related to a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction, which could something that the perennial has to manage for the remainder of his career. The condition doesn't sound like anything that will force Trout to seriously consider an early retirement or even keep him out for the remainder of the season, as he reiterated Sunday that he's optimistic about a return to action in the not-too-distant future, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. A more precise timeline for Trout's potential return likely won't come forth until he's not only swinging a bat again, but also incorporating more baseball activities into his rehab program.

Trout (ribs) expects to play again in 2022, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has been diagnosed with a rare back condition due to costovertebral dysfunction, and the Angels' head athletic trainer said Wednesday that the issue will likely be something that the outfielder deals with for the remainder of the season and the rest of his career. However, Trout said after Wednesday's win over the Royals that he expects to play again in 2022. "I've got to stay on top of the routine I do on a daily basis to prevent it from coming back. I feel good where I'm at right now. Every day it's improving. And I feel really good. I felt really good today," Trout said Wednesday. The 30-year-old didn't give a timetable for his return, but he'll meet with team doctors Sunday to help determine his status.

Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Wednesday that Trout's ongoing absence due to left rib cage inflammation is related to a "rare back condition" called costovertebral dysfunction, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. "This is a pretty rare condition that he has right now in his back," Frostad said. "Long-term we do have to look at this as something that -- he has to manage it, not just through the rest of this season, but also through the rest of his career probably."

Though Frostad noted that Trout is starting to feel the benefits of the cortisone shot he received in his rib cage last Thursday, the 30-year-old won't be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least next weekend, as the Angels want to give him a full two weeks off for the injection to take effect. While Trout's placement on the 10-day injured list July 18 was characterized rib issue, the injury has created back pain that puts the superstar outfielder at risk of a longer absence than had been expected. Trout's upcoming re-evaluation next week should shed more light on both his rest-of-season and long-term outlook, but fantasy managers should at least stay prepared for the possibility that he doesn't play again in 2022.

Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Wednesday that Trout (rib) won't be able to resume baseball activities until at least Aug. 5, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

According to Frostad, Trout will need a full two weeks off for the cortisone shot he received last Thursday to take full effect, so the superstar outfield will remain in somewhat of a holding pattern for at least eight more days. Because the left rib cage injury has kept Trout out of the lineup since July 12, he'll likely need a few days' worth of workouts and potentially a brief rehab assignment to get ramped back up. As such, fantasy managers probably shouldn't count on him playing until at least the second week of August, even if the cortisone shot fully alleviates the pain Trout has been experiencing. Trout's ongoing absence should continue to open up a full-time role in the outfield for Jo Adell, who is day-to-day with a bruised arm but shouldn't be in line for a trip to the injured list.

Trout (ribs) received a cortisone shot recently and won't return when first eligible Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels initially hoped that Trout would be able to be activated early next week, but he'll spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The 30-year-old will continue to receive treatment and will be monitored on a daily basis, so it's still possible that he returns at some point next week.

According to Angels manager Phil Nevin, Trout (ribs) is feeling better, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to return early next week, per MLB.com.

Trout is eligible to be activated from his stint on the 10-day IL on Monday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, but it's far from certain that he'll be able to return on that day. Nonetheless, Nevin expressed optimism that the superstar outfielder is getting better, stating, "He feels good today. It's a situation where we had to put him on the IL and hopefully it's not much longer than that. It's something we need to address and access every day. He's getting treatment but he's not there." Trout is slashing .270/.368/.599 with 24 homers and 51 RBI across 326 plate appearances this season, but he had been struggling prior to landing on the IL, batting .167 (6-for-36) with 18 strikeouts and just two walks through 11 games in July.

The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list Monday with left rib cage inflammation.

The team had previously described the injury that kept Trout out of the lineup for the final four games before the All-Star break as upper-back spasms, but a new diagnosis was provided Monday upon his placement on the IL. Because he hasn't played since July 12 and the Angels will be on break until Friday, Trout may only miss one more contest, as he'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as the team's second game of the second half Saturday versus Atlanta, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Whether Trout is on track for a weekend return isn't yet certain, as the Angels may not provide another update on where the superstar outfielder stands in his recovery from the injury until the team resumes workouts Thursday.

Trout (back) won't be available for Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game, ESPN.com reports.

On Sunday, the American League officially added Seattle's Ty France to its Midsummer Classic roster as a replacement for Trout, who won't be available for the exhibition after missing the Angels' final four games of the All-Star break with upper-back spasms. Minnesota's Byron Buxton is slated to start in center field in place of Trout, who remains hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list. With the Angels getting Sunday off, he'll have five full days to heal up before the Halos open their second-half schedule Friday in Atlanta.

Trout has been scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to upper-back spasms.

Trout was expected to make his return from a three-game absence, but it would seem his back did not respond well to pregame activity. Brandon Marsh enters the lineup to face lefty Julio Urias. The Angels are off Sunday.

Trout (back) will bat second and play center field Tuesday against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has been out of action since he left Tuesday's game against the Astros with back spasms, but he indicated Friday that he'd be ready to return for Saturday's first-half finale, a prediction which proved accurate. He's in a bit of a slump in July, hitting .167/.231/.250 through 10 games, though that's only brought his OPS on the season down to .967.

Trout (back) and interim manager Phil Nevin both expect the outfielder to be in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 30-year-old hasn't seen the field since exiting Tuesday's matchup with the Astros due to upper-back spasms, but he's expected to be back in action Saturday for the Halos' final game before the All-Star break. However, it's worth noting the team also expected him back in the lineup Friday before he ultimately sat out, so it's certainly not a sure thing Trout will return to the starting nine. He'll be evaluated again Saturday morning to determine his availability.

Trout (back) will sit Friday against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout hasn't played since leaving Tuesday's game against the Astros due to back spasms. Previous reports indicated that the Angels expected him back Friday, but he'll wind up getting at least one more day off. Taylor Ward again slides to center field, with Jo Adell starting in right.

Trout (back), who isn't starting Thursday against Houston, is expected to return to the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout has been dealing with upper-back spasms since Tuesday but will likely return to the lineup to begin the Angels' two-game series against the Dodgers ahead of the All-Star break. Brandon Marsh, Taylor Ward and Jo Adell are starting in the outfield from left to right Thursday.

Trout (back) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Angels interim manager Phil Nevin previously said Trout wasn't likely to be in the lineup for the series finale versus Houston, so it's now surprise the outfielder is missing his second straight contest with upper-back spasms. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will be available for Friday's matchup with the Dodgers.

Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said after Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Astros that Trout (back) is unlikely to return to the lineup for Thursday's series finale, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout is still dealing with upper-back spasms, which resulted in his early removal from Tuesday's 6-5 loss. Los Angeles rolled out a starting outfield of Brandon Marsh, Jo Adell and Taylor Ward on Wednesday and will likely stick with that setup again Thursday while Trout gets another day off to recover.

Trout (back) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout was removed from Tuesday's game against Houston due to upper-back spasms but isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Wednesday, but Brandon Marsh, Taylor Ward and Jo Adell will start in the outfield from left to right.

Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said after Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros that Trout (back) is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After Trout was evaluated by Angels head trainer Mike Frostad following his departure prior to the fifth inning Tuesday, Nevin said the star outfielder was diagnosed with upper-back spasms and is being viewed as day-to-day. Though initial tests didn't reveal any concerning injury, Trout could still be at risk of missing the remaining two games of the series with Houston. Brandon Marsh moved over to play center field following Trout's early exit Tuesday.

Trout was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros due to upper-back spasms.

Trout uncharacteristically struck out in both his plate appearances before being replaced in the field for the top of the fifth inning. It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, as even before Tuesday's contest the 30-year-old had struggled through nine games in July with a .508 OPS and 43.2 percent strikeout rate. Trout will continue to be evaluated and should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Trout went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a strikeout during Friday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

Trout put the Angels on the board Friday with his three-run blast, which was his 24th homer of the season. The 30-year-old hit just .045 with an RBI, a walk and 13 strikeouts in the six games leading up to Friday's matchup, so it was encouraging to see him post a multi-hit performance in the narrow loss. On Friday, Trout was named a starter in the outfield for the 2022 All-Star Game, marking the seventh time he's been selected as a starter.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the White Sox.

Trout hit the second of the Angels' three homers in the third inning. The star outfielder has turned the power up in June with 10 of his 23 homers this season coming his last 23 contests. Overall, he's batting .285 with a 1.042 OPS, 46 RBI, 52 runs scored, 16 doubles and two triples through 283 plate appearances.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI triple, two total runs scored and an intentional walk in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Trout teed off on Chris Flexen, as even a first-inning flyout was hard hit. The star outfielder added a moonshot in the fourth inning and an RBI triple in the sixth before getting Scott Servais to call for an intentional walk in the eighth. Trout has six homers in as many games versus the Mariners this season and 53 long balls versus Seattle in his career, so clearly this is a favorite matchup for him. The 30-year-old is slashing .289/.391/.662 with 22 homers, 45 RBI, 51 runs scored, two triples and 15 doubles across 266 plate appearances.

Trout isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout is getting a day off after he hit .250 with five homers, nine RBI, seven runs, four walks and 13 strikeouts over the last seven games. Juan Lagares will take his place in center field and bat eighth.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mariners.

Trout finished the five-game series this weekend with five homers, including blasts that accounted for the game-winning run in each of the last three contests. The power surge has him up to 21 long balls in 61 games. He's added a .290/.389/.659 slash line with 43 RBI, 47 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple across 252 plate appearances. He'll look to keep things going this week back in Anaheim, as the Angels are set to welcome the Royals for three games early in the week before another series with the Mariners over next weekend.

Trout went 3-for-9 with two home runs and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Mariners.

Trout's tormenting of the Mariners continued, as he hit a two-run shot in the 10th inning in the matinee which stood for the win. He opened the scoring with a solo shot in the third inning of the nightcap, and the Angels held on for a 3-0 win in that contest. With four homers in his last four games, all against the Mariners, Trout has vaulted into second place in the majors with 20 long balls on the year, trailing only Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. Trout owns a spectacular .291/.391/.653 slash line with 41 RBI, 46 runs scored and 15 doubles through 60 contests overall.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and a walk in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Trout hit two-run shots in the third and seventh innings to knock in all of the Angels' offense. This is his second two-homer game in five contests since he returned from a groin injury that cost him a handful of games earlier in June. The outfielder has been sharp at the plate this year with a .294/.396/.647 slash line, 18 long balls, 38 RBI, 44 runs scored and 15 doubles across 57 contests.

Trout left Saturday's game against the Mets after six innings but did not appear to be injured, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The early exit is a potential worry, as Trout was appearing in his first game after a three-game absence due to groin tightness. It's likely that the Angels simply saw no need to push him further in his first game back, as the team held an 8-0 lead. Trout certainly didn't look injured during his time on the field, going 3-for-4 with a pair of homers, a double, three RBI and three runs scored.

Trout (groin) will bat second and play center field Saturday against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Trout missed the last three games with tightness in his left groin, but he's ready to go without requiring a trip to the injured list. He's yet to attempt a steal this season and seems unlikely to run immediately after returning from a groin injury, but his overall .284/.388/.601 slash line is as excellent as we've all come to expect from the 30-year-old outfielder.

Trout (groin) isn't starting Friday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout felt better Thursday and was hopeful that he'd be back in the lineup Friday, but he'll ultimately require at least one additional day to recover. However, manager Phil Nevin said prior to Friday's matchup that Trout is close to a return, so it's certainly possible that he returns sometime during the team's weekend series against the Mets.

Trout (groin) said after Thursday's win over the Red Sox that he's feeling better, and if he feels good again Friday he plans to play against the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout exited Tuesday's contest with left groin tightness and hasn't seen the field in the past two games, but a trip to the injured list appears increasingly unlikely. Even if the 30-year-old sits out again Friday, he appears on track to rejoin the lineup at some point this weekend.

Trout (groin) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout is dealing with left groin tightness but isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. However, he'll remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while Juan Lagares starts in center field and leads off. It's not yet clear whether Trout will be available off the bench, but he remains day-to-day for now.

Trout (groin) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, but he's considered day-to-day and may be available off the bench, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout was removed from Tuesday's contest with tightness in his left groin, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Angels figure to remain cautious so the 30-year-old could be held out of the lineup for a couple days depending how he feels. Juan Lagares will man center field Wednesday in Trout's place.

Trout was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox with left groin tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout appeared to be a bit hobbled while running to second base on a double during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch runner. The 31-year-old entered the contest 1-for-28 over his past eight games but clubbed a two-run homer in the first frame before doubling in the third, and he's now dealing with an injury. The severity of the issue remains to be seen, leaving Trout's availability up in the air.

Trout has gone 0-for-26 with nine strikeouts over his past seven games.

A 3-for-4 performance against Toronto on May 28 had Trout's season batting average up to .320, but that number has tumbled all the way down to .274 as a result of the superstar's hitless streak. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, the 0-for-26 slump is the worst of Trout's storied career. Despite his recent struggles, Trout's .953 OPS on the season still ranks 10th in the majors.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an HBP and an additional run in a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Trout singled in the first inning, singled and scored in the fifth, launched a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh and was hit in the ninth. The solid performance breaks a 1-for-12 mini slump for the 30-year-old, who's now slashing .320/.422/.673 with 13 home runs, 37 runs and 28 RBI.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI and an additional run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Trout posted a 1.319 OPS during the Angels' six-game week and is now up to 12 home runs on the season, putting him behind only the Yankees' Aaron Judge (15) for the MLB lead. The running game isn't a part of Trout's skill set at this stage of his career -- he's yet to attempt a steal through 38 games -- but he's re-emerged as an elite four-category contributor coming off an injury-plagued 2021 campaign.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored Tuesday in a loss to Texas.

Trout came into the contest in a bit of a slump, having gone 3-for-18 over his previous five games. The superstar outfielder busted out of the cold snap against the Rangers, falling a triple short of a cycle and blasting his 10th long ball of the campaign in the seventh inning. Trout has unsurprisingly been among the league's top hitters this season, complementing the homer total with a .325/.440/.684 slash line, 10 doubles, 21 RBI and 31 runs. The only disappointing part of his season from a fantasy perspective is that he has yet to attempt a stolen base.

Trout will sit for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader in Oakland, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout has produced excellent numbers as usual thus far this season, hitting .323/.446/.697 with nine homers in 29 games. The Angels won't ask him to play twice in one day, so he'll hit the bench here before presumably returning to the lineup for the nightcap.

Trout is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout will receive his second day off this month on the heels of a highly productive stretch of five consecutive starts in which he went 8-for-19 with three home runs, a double, three walks, six runs and eight RBI. Aaron Whitefield will fill in for Trout in center field.

Trout went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored, three RBI and a walk in a 12-0 win Tuesday over the Rays.

Trout's big game may not receive that much attention as Reid Detmers upstaged him by throwing a no-hitter. Nonetheless, Trout homered off Corey Kluber in the second and added a two-run shot off outfielder Brett Phillips in the eighth. The three-time American League Most Valuable Player has homered in consecutive games and is the only AL player sporting an OPS over 1.000 with a 1.183 mark. He has scored 25 runs in 27 games and is just eight away from 1000 runs scored for his career.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 11-3 win over the Rays.

He ripped a Jalen Beeks fastball down the left-field line in the sixth inning for a two-run shot, going back-to-back with Shohei Ohtani to blow the game open for the Angels. Trout has slowed down a bit after a blistering start to the campaign, but he still carries a .319/.441/.659 slash line with seven homers, 16 RBI and 22 runs through 30 games.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in Friday's 3-0 win over Washington.

Trout knocked a two-run double off of Joan Adon in the fifth inning to give the Angels a pair of insurance runs. The star outfielder is up to 13 RBI and 15 extra-base hits and Friday's RBIs ended a three-game drought. He's now slashing .325/.449/.675 through 98 plate appearances.

Trout isn't starting Thursday against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout went 4-for-14 with a homer, a double, five runs, four walks and seven strikeouts over his last four games, and he'll get his first day off since April 20. Brandon Marsh will shift to center field while Jack Mayfield starts in left.

Trout went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a double, three runs scored and three walks in Sunday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Trout got the Angels on the board early with his solo blast off of Dallas Kuechel in the first inning. The superstar outfielder is living up to his usual hype, slashing .344/.481/.766 with 14 extra-base hits and 17 runs scored through 81 plate appearances. Nine of those extra-base knocks have come over his last nine games.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, double, an additional RBI and a walk in a 4-1 win over Cleveland on Tuesday.

Trout accounted for the Angels final three runs of the game, with a two-run homer of Triston McKenzie in the third inning and an RBI double in the fifth while tacking on a walk in the eighth. After a slow first few games of the season, Trout now has a nine-game hitting streak that's seen him bat .412 with eight extra-base hits and four walks. He now leads MLB with a 1.234 OPS.

Trout went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

Trout was the only Angel to get to Baltimore starter Spenser Watkins with solo shots in the first and fifth innings while he later tacked on a single in the ninth. The 30-year-old has wasted no time rounding back into form following a three-game absence due to a hand injury and has improved to his seasonal line to .316/.435/.711.

Trout (hand) is back in the lineup as expected Friday against the Orioles, batting second and playing center field.

Trout hasn't played since getting hit in his hand by a pitch Sunday against the Rangers. He's ready to go now and will look to return to his typically strong form, as he'd hit .267/.405/.567 through nine games to start the season.

Trout (hand) said after Wednesday's win over the Astros he intends to play Friday versus Baltimore, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Manager Joe Maddon said earlier Wednesday he expects Trout to rejoin the lineup Friday, so it's not a major surprise to see the center fielder echo those comments. The 30-year-old sat out the three-game series in Houston after being hit by a pitch on the left hand Sunday, but he's set to return to the field Friday after taking a few days to recover.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said that he's "pretty certain" Trout (hand) will return to the lineup in Friday's series opener with the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After he was struck by a pitch in his left hand in Sunday's win over the Rangers, Trout has proceeded to ride the bench in all three of the Angels' games in Houston to begin the week. The Angels seem encouraged that Trout won't miss any time beyond Wednesday, however, and Maddon indicated that the star outfielder could even make a pinch-hitting appearance in the series finale with the Astros. The skipper suggested that Trout was held out of the lineup Wednesday mostly because he thought it would be more beneficial for the 30-year-old to get two full days off with the Angels not playing a game Thursday.

Trout (hand) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Trout was hit by a pitch on the left hand Sunday, and he'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game in Wednesday's series finale. The Angels have a scheduled day off Thursday, so Trout will have an additional day to recover prior to Friday's matchup against the Orioles. Brandon Marsh will start in center field while Jo Adell takes over in left field Wednesday.

Trout (hand) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout will sit for a second consecutive game after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday's matchup with Texas. The 30-year-old appears to have avoided a fracture with an MRI and X-ray coming back negative, and his return is apparently dependent on his pain tolerance. The Angels have a scheduled off day Thursday, so Trout could be held out of the lineup again for Wednesday's series finale in Houston, which would give him four full days of recovery time for Friday's series opener versus Baltimore.

Trout (hand) underwent an MRI on Monday which confirmed he didn't suffer a fracture, and athletic trainer Mike Frostad said the center fielder's return to the lineup will be a matter a of pain tolerance, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 30-year-old underwent X-rays after being hit by a pitch on the left hand Sunday against the Rangers, but all the testing to this point has come back negative for a fracture. Trout is out for Monday's matchup with the Astros, but he should be considered day-to-day for now and may be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Trout (hand) is out of the lineup as expected Monday against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Trout exited Sunday's game against the Rangers after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. His X-Rays were negative, but manager Joe Maddon noted after the game that Trout was expected to sit for at least one game. Brandon Marsh will start in center field Monday, but it's possible Trout could return as soon as Tuesday depending on when his soreness and swelling subsides.

Manager Joe Maddon said Sunday that Trout (hand) is unlikely to play Monday against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout was removed from Sunday's win over the Rangers after he was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, and he said after the game that he's feeling better, but his hand is still sore and swollen. Although he's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative, it appears likely that he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game.

Trout is considered day-to-day after X-rays conducted on his left hand Sunday returned negative, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Much to the relief of fantasy managers, Trout doesn't appear to have fractured any bones in his hand after he departed from Sunday's game against the Rangers in the fifth inning, when he was struck by an 81 mile-per-hour slider. While a long-term absence looks to be off the table for Trout, he could still be dealing with enough soreness and swelling in the hand that may make it difficult to swing the bat or comfortably wear a glove. The Angels will likely re-evaluate him early Monday before deciding on his status for their series opener in Houston later that day.

Trout was removed in the top of the fifth inning after he was struck by a pitch in his left hand, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double, a run and an RBI before departing.

Brandon Marsh came on to pinch run for Trout, who appeared to be in considerable pain after he was struck in his non-throwing hand by Spencer Patton's 81 mile-per-hour slider. The extent of Trout's injury won't be known until he undergoes X-rays, with the Angels likely to provide an update on the matter after the game or at some point before Monday's series opener in Houston. Marsh would likely be the main beneficiary for extra playing time in the outfield alongside Jo Adell and Taylor Ward if Trout's hand injury is in fact significant enough to force him to the injured list.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk in a 10-5 loss Thursday in Texas.

Trout's first-inning blast went an estimated 472 feet. He later added a walk, his fifth in six games this season. The three-time American League Most Valuable Player continues to be one of the most dangerous hitters in all of baseball and now has an OPS over .900 on the season.

Trout is starting in center field and batting second Tuesday against the Marlins.

Trout was scratched from Monday's lineup due to stomach distress but was able to make an appearance off the bench, and his absence from the starting nine will be limited to one contest. The 30-year-old is 3-for-13 with a solo homer, a double and two walks through his first four games of the season.

Trout (illness) has been cleared to rejoin the Angels lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Angels haven't indicated whether Trout will start in center field as he usually does or serve as the team's designated hitter in his return from a one-game absence, but his availability in any capacity is a welcome sight for fantasy managers who took the gamble by keeping him active this week. Trout was a late scratch ahead of Monday's eventual 6-2 win after experiencing stomach distress, but he was able to make a cameo off the bench and apparently showed improvement in his condition when he reported to the ballpark earlier Tuesday.

Trout (illness) is feeling better and could be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout was a late scratch Monday due to stomach distress, but he stated after the game that he's feeling better. The team will re-evaluate Trout in the morning in an effort to determine his status for Tuesday's matchup.

Trout was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game versus Miami due to "stomach distress," but he's expected to be available off the bench, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout was unavailable at the end of spring training due to a stomach bug but was ready for Opening Day, and he's now dealing with another stomach issue. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern given the 30-year-old could be available off the bench, but it's worth monitoring if it continues to be a recurring problem.

Trout was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins for undisclosed reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels confirmed Trout won't be hitting the injured list but didn't provide any more details. Jo Adell entered the lineup in his place, starting in left field and pushing Brandon Marsh to center.

Trout (illness) is starting Thursday's game against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Trout missed the Angels' final two spring games due to a stomach bug, but he's starting in center field and batting second in Thursday's Opening Day matchup. The 30-year-old appeared in just 36 games during his injury-plagued season last year, and he hit .333 with eight homers, 23 runs, 18 RBI and two steals.

Trout (illness) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Dodgers.

Trout was withheld from Monday's contest due to a stomach bug, and he won't return to the lineup for the final spring game Tuesday. It's not believed to be a serious issue, and the 30-year-old will have one more day to recover ahead of the Opening Day matchup with the Astros on Thursday.

Trout won't play in Monday's exhibition against the Dodgers due to a stomach bug, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout reportedly began to feel ill following Sunday's spring training game, so the team will hold him out Monday likely as a precaution. Blum adds that while it's unclear at this point how long he'll be out, the issue doesn't sound overly serious, and skipper Joe Maddon is hopeful for a quick return to the starting nine.

Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Friday that he may experiment with Trout as the team's leadoff hitter on occasion this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout hit atop the order for Friday's Cactus League contest, with Shohei Ohtani batting behind him. That isn't likely to be the Angels' most common lineup construction this season, however, since Maddon indicated earlier in the spring that he wants Ohtani to be the team's primary leadoff man. Still, Maddon appears to be thinking of experimenting with Trout atop the order at times during the regular season, though such a scenario won't do much to change the superstar's fantasy projection unless it becomes a frequent occurrence.

Trout went 0-for-1 with two walks and a run scored Monday in a Cactus League win over Oakland.

Trout took three days away from camp at the end of last week in order to attend a funeral, and he played in a minor-league contest Sunday. The superstar outfielder was back in the big club's lineup for Monday's tilt and was able to log three plate appearances. Trout hit second behind Shohei Ohtani on Monday, which is expected to be a common lineup configuration for the Angels this season.

Trout will be absent from spring camp until Saturday in order to attend a funeral, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout has gotten into three Cactus League games thus far, going 3-for-6 with a walk and an RBI. His temporary absence won't affect his availability for Opening Day and certainly shouldn't impact fantasy managers taking part in drafts.

Trout will be the Angels' center fielder this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

There had been some speculation dating back to last season that Trout could move to a corner outfield spot in order to reduce his risk of injury, but manager Joe Maddon confirmed Monday that the superstar will remain in his customary center-field position for now. It's worth noting that Trout has discussed with team management moving to a corner outfield spot down the road, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, though that isn't expected to happen this year. Such a shift could take place if Trout continues to struggle to remain healthy for a full campaign. He hasn't played in more than 140 contests since the 2016 season.

Trout said Monday that his calf has been fully healthy since mid-October, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout hit the injured list in mid-May with a calf strain which was originally expected to take up to eight weeks to heal, but he wound up sidelined for the rest of the campaign. While it's undoubtedly a positive that he's healthy for the start of camp, it's fair to still treat him as an injury risk, as he averaged 129.3 games over the three full seasons prior to last year.

Trout (calf) will be a full participant whenever spring training begins, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout opened last season in blistering form, hitting .333/.466/.624 through his first 36 games. He suffered a calf strain in mid-May, however, and while the injury originally carried a timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, he never wound up returning to the field. Reports from the very end of the season indicated that the injury had healed, and it appears as though he's had no further setbacks over the winter. The delayed start to the season buys him even more time to get back to 100 percent, though he may not have needed it.

Trout recently decided to shut himself down for the season despite the fact that recent scans have shown that his right calf strain has healed, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout indicated that the decision to shut it down for the season was his own, though the writing has been on the wall for some time that the superstar outfielder would not be able to return by the end of the campaign. On a positive note, Trout stated that he's essentially 100 percent healed and that he expects to have a normal offseason. The 30-year-old will finish the campaign having played in only 36 games and registering a .333/.466/.624 slash line along with eight home runs, 18 RBI and two stolen bases. Despite his injury-shortened 2021, Trout will undoubtedly be a first-round fantasy pick in 2022 drafts given his prognosis for a return to full health next season.

Trout (calf) still isn't participating in baseball activities and remains unlikely to return to action this season, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The superstar outfielder last tested his calf while aggressively running the bases at the end of August, but he continued to experience soreness and has essentially been shut down from any baseball-related activities since. With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, it would be an extreme surprise if Trout were to make it back to the Angels by the end of the campaign. Manager Joe Maddon echoed that sentiment Sunday, expressing the expectation that Trout will be sidelined the rest of the way.

Manager Joe Maddon admitted Wednesday that it's unlikely Trout (calf) is able to return from the injured list before the end of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Maddon first conceded in late August, publicly at least, the potential of Trout not returning this season, and it appears the outfielder's outlook hasn't improved much over the past couple weeks. The three-time AL MVP continues to travel and work out with the team in hopes of being activated, but with less than three weeks left to go in the campaign there's little reason for the team to rush him back with a spot in the playoffs not within reach.

Trout (calf) hasn't given up on playing again this season, but he is still rehabbing and is unlikely to return, per MLB.com.

Trout has remained committed to taking the field again throughout the course of his time on the injured list, but he hasn't progressed to the point of being ready for a rehab assignment. With less than four weeks remaining in the campaign and the Angels firmly out of the playoff hunt, it makes little sense for the organization to clear their superstar outfielder for a return unless he is fully healthy.

Trout is feeling lingering soreness in his right calf, and manager Joe Maddon conceded Monday the outfielder could be shut down for the season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout being shut down has always been a possibility given the lingering injury and the fact the team is essentially out of playoff contention, but this is the first public indication from the Angels that route is actually being considered. The 30-year-old still hopes to retake the field in 2021, but time is running out as he continues to experience calf soreness. Brandon Marsh will continue to start in center field in the meantime.

Trout (calf) was able to aggressively run the bases at Angel Stadium on Friday, per MLB.com.

This is a significant step in the superstar's path to a return this season, as Trout hadn't aggressively tested his injured right calf since experiencing discomfort July 22. He's expected to continue his running program and could begin a rehab assignment whenever he's completely pain-free. According to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, Trout will play center field if he is able to rejoin the big club this season despite some discussion of him shifting to a corner-outfield spot.

Manager Joe Maddon said Tuesday that Trout (calf) is feeling better following his workouts, but that the outfielder is still not ready to begin a rehab assignment, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout has been participating in baseball activities for nearly two months, but the outfielder simply has not been able to get to the point where he feels ready to play in a live game. The club has maintained that he could return this season, though he will need to begin a rehab assignment sooner rather than later for that become a reality.

Trout (calf) worked out on the field prior to Friday's game and indicated that he is feeling good, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Though Trout admitted to experiencing some soreness after resuming on-field activities earlier in the week, he has continued to work out, and the soreness appears to have since subsided. Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated that the team still doesn't have a timeframe for when Trout may begin a rehab assignment, though there remains optimism that the superstar outfielder can return this season. Maddon also mentioned that there has not yet been a decision made about whether Trout will shift to a corner-outfield spot upon his return. "The first thing is to get him back," Maddon said. "As we're on the comeback trail, we'll discuss the different options and get his feelings and his opinion on how he believes he'd be able to handle that moment."

Trout (calf) participated in on-field activities prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It marked the star outfielder's first participation in on-field workouts since he felt discomfort in his injured calf while running in late July. Manager Joe Maddon said the club will have to see how he responds in the next few days to Tuesday's workout before determining his next steps. Considering that Trout still lacks a concrete return timeline, it seems near certain that he'll remain on the injured list through August, and possibly well into September.

Angels general manager Perry Minasian recently revealed that the organization has not discussed shutting Trout (calf) down for the remainder of the season, though the star outfielder still hasn't been able to resume running aggressively, per MLB.com.

It's coming up on three months since Trout last saw game action for the Angels, and it is certainly discouraging that he remains unable to run at full speed. The 30-year-old is said to be making progress with his injury, but he hasn't aggressively tested the calf since feeling discomfort while running July 22. The Angels are currently sitting at .500 and are 7.5 games out of a wild-card spot, so time could be running short for Trout to return in time to play in meaningful games.

Trout (calf) has been feeling better but hasn't yet ramped up his running, per MLB.com.

Trout had begun to run the bases and participate in outfield drills over a week ago, but he subsequently pulled back after feeling discomfort while running. The superstar outfielder hasn't been able to ramp back up since then, though a recent MRI provided encouraging results. According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Trout has been given the green light to do more work when the discomfort subsides, but there isn't much clarity about how long that may take.

Trout (calf) received an MRI on Thursday and was encouraged with the results, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Despite the encouraging results, Trout remains without a timetable and has yet to begin running. He has now been sidelined for 10 weeks with the injury and continues to feel soreness or pain in his calf, which has prevented him from fully ramping up. The team will likely continue to be cautious, as it was also reported Thursday that Trout could return to a corner outfield position to try to avoid an aggravation of the issue.

The Angels are considering moving Trout (calf) to a corner-outfield spot when he is able to return to action, J.P. Hoornstra of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout has missed 10 weeks after straining his right calf while running the bases, which has prompted the organization to consider having him shift to either right field or left field in order to reduce the amount of running he'd have to do on defense. Rookie Brandon Marsh has taken over primary center field duties of late, and the team appears to be considering keeping him in the lineup on a near-everyday basis even after Trout returns. While a decision has yet to be finalized, manager Joe Maddon indicated Thursday that the scenario has at least been discussed with the star slugger. "You would think giving him less ground to cover might be wise," Maddon said. "So we'll see how that plays out. I've already broached the subject with him. His thought was originally that he was going to be OK once his leg feels fine but we'll wait and see."

An evaluation Monday revealed Trout (calf) hasn't suffered any setbacks, and he continues to heal slowly, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

This is positive news for Trout, who recently had been feeling something in his calf while running. There's no doubt the Angels will continue to take things slow with their superstar centerfielder moving forward, and a concrete return date has yet to be disclosed.

Trout has been feeling something in the calf area while running recently and will be evaluated Monday by a doctor, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Manager Joe Maddon said it's a routine doctor visit, but Trout also hasn't run the past three days after recently ramping up his running program. The skipper also indicated whatever the outfielder is feeling isn't believed to be serious, though it's an obvious concern as he appeared to be closing in on his return from the injured list. Trout was expected to begin a rehab assignment in the near future, but those expectations should be put on hold until after the results of Monday's examination are announced.

Trout (calf) has not yet received clearance to begin a rehab assignment, the Associated Press reports.

Trout has been ramping up his activity of late and has progressed to running the bases. However, he is not yet ready for game action, and manager Joe Maddon suggested that the organization is taking a cautious approach with the superstar outfielder. "You don't want to hurry something like this. You don't want to push it to the point where he ends up reinjuring it and it becomes chronic," Maddon said. A late-July return is still within reach for Trout, though it wouldn't be surprising if he is held out until early August.

Trout (calf) ran the bases, participated in outfield drills and took some batting swings Thursday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout has ramped up his running within the past few days, and he's now progressed to some baseball activity. Though he continues to take steps toward a return, there's still no word on when he will begin a rehab assignment. He should be able to progress quickly through any game action in the minors, so a return in the final days of July could still be realistic.

Trout (calf) ran the bases Tuesday, although not at full speed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It marked the first time Trout ran the bases since landing on the shelf with a right calf strain in mid-May. While the superstar outfielder didn't run at a very high intensity, it still marks an important step toward him beginning a rehab assignment. With that being said, the Angels will likely want to see the 29-year-old increase his running speed before having him participate in a live game.

Trout (calf) said he ran at 90 percent Monday but still doesn't know when he'll begin a rehab assignment, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout recently said he was feeling close to 100 percent, and his effort in running drills Monday echoes that assessment. The 29-year-old has yet to run the bases, and he'll need to do so before embarking on a rehab assignment. He appears to be nearing his return from the injured list, but he'll likely require at least a few rehab outings in the minors before being cleared for big-league action.

Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that Trout's strained right calf is close to being fully recovered, but that the outfielder still doesn't have a rehab assignment scheduled, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While the Angels still haven't determined when Trout could begin a rehab assignment, the fact that he's feeling close to 100 percent indicates that announcement could be coming any day now. Once he is able to start a rehab stint, the star outfielder will likely need to get at least a hand full of games under his belt before he's activated. With that in mind, Trout should have a chance to return by the end of July, though it's possible he doesn't get reinstated until the beginning of August.

Manager Joe Maddon said the Angels have yet to decide when Trout (calf) will begin a rehab assignment, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The Angels' skipper added that Trout will be re-evaluated after continuing his workouts through the All-Star break next week. Having been sidelined since May 17, the outfielder will likely require more than one or two games of rehab, so a late-July activation appears to be the best-case scenario for Trout.

Trout (calf) participated in batting practice on the field Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout was taking swings off a tee last week but has now progressed to batting practice. He only recently resumed baseball activities, so it's a good sign to see him progressing toward live work. The 29-year-old is eligible to be activated off the 60-day injured list right after the All-Star break July 17, and he's expected to be ready to play by that point or soon after.

Trout (calf) took 50 swings off a tee, threw from 90 feet and jogged Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Trout isn't eligible to come off the 60-day IL until July 17 and only recently resumed baseball activities. That said, he appears to be headed in a positive direction in his recovery from the strained right calf that sidelined him in mid-May. As long as doesn't suffer any setbacks, Trout should be ready to return to the Angels' lineup soon after the All-Star break.

Trout (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The move doesn't have much of an impact on Trout's recovery timeline. He won't be eligible to return until July 17, but that's approximately when he was expected to return anyway. He began swinging in the cage Monday, an important step in is rehab process, but he still has several more steps to go.

Trout (calf) hasn't yet resumed any baseball activities, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout was hopeful that he'd be able to resume running in early June, but general manager Perry Minasian said that the 29-year-old still doesn't have a clear recovery timetable due to his lack of activities. The Angels initially said that the center fielder could return to game action around the All-Star break, but a better idea of his status could be known once he resumes baseball activities.

After another examination, the Angels believe Trout (calf) is about one month away from a return, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout still hasn't been cleared to jog, but he was examined Monday and the physician determined that he's recovering at a normal pace. If he stays on track, he should be ready to come off the injured list right after the All-Star break. More information on his timeline should surface as Trout clears more hurdles on the road to recovery.

Trout (calf) is expected to have a clearer return timeline once he's cleared to resume jogging in the coming days, Jeff Fletcher reports.

Trout said following last Monday's workout that he was hoping to get clearance to jog soon, though he's yet to reach that milestone in his recovery as of early Sunday afternoon. Once the superstar outfielder is able to run, a more-concrete return timeline should come into focus. At this point, Trout is expected to be out through the All-Star break, though an earlier July return won't necessarily be ruled out if he progresses faster than expected in coming weeks.

Trout (calf) was pleased with Monday's workout and intends to begin jogging soon, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, but he continues to make progress from a right calf strain sustained in mid-May. At this point, he remains on track to return shortly after the All-Star break.

Manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that Trout (calf) is likely to remain out until after the All-Star break,Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout has been on the injured list since suffering a calf strain May 17. The star outfielder has been targeting a July return, and based on Maddon's update, a mid-to-late July return appears to be the most likely scenario at this point.

Trout (calf) is no longer wearing a protective walking boot on his right lower leg, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 29-year-old has been sporting the walking boot since being diagnosed with a strained right calf about two weeks ago, and it's the first major step in his rehab progress. Trout is expected to be sidelined for at least another month, assuming he remains on the initial 6-to-8 week recovery timeline.

Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right calf and will be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks.

The 29-year-old underwent an MRI after exiting Monday's win over Cleveland during the first inning, and he's now facing an extended absence due to injury. Trout could be sidelined through the All-Star break, which runs July 12-15, if he's unable to return at the front end of the recovery timeline.

Trout is expected to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after he was removed in the first inning of Monday's 7-4 win over Cleveland due to a right calf strain, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After walking in his first plate appearance of the night and advancing to second base on a wild pitch, Trout appeared to tweak his lower leg while running out an inning-ending popout off the bat of Jared Walsh. At this time, the Angels are viewing Trout as day-to-day, though it's worth noting that he previously missed three games in 2019 due to a right calf strain of the mild variety. Though the Angels have dropped 10 of their last 15 games to fall four games under .500, Trout has continued to enjoy an excellent individual season. Despite striking out at a career-worst 28.1 percent clip, he's holding down personal-best marks in batting average (.333) and on-base average (.466) while slugging eight home runs and stealing two bases across 146 plate appearances.

Trout suffered a strained right calf during Monday's game against the Indians.

It's unknown whether Trout will be forced to miss significant time as a result of the injury. As Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com notes, Trout suffered a similar injury during the 2019 campaign and was forced to miss just three games. The team should have more information on his status moving forward after further evaluation.

Trout was lifted from Monday's game against the Indians after appearing to suffer a lower-body injury Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout appeared to limp off the field and was visibly upset heading to the dugout after running out a flyout to end the first inning, per Harris. The extent of his injury is unknown at this time.

Trout is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

With a team off day looming Thursday, manager Joe Maddon has elected to hold multiple everyday players out of the lineup to give them a more extended breather. In addition to Trout, David Fletcher, Justin Upton and Kurt Suzuki will also take a seat in the series finale. Trout will rest after going 0-for-9 over his last three starts, but he's still holding down a magnificent .355/.477/.673 slash line for the season.

Trout went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks, a steal and a run in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Astros.

Though the superstar slugger wasn't able to collect any hits in the contest, he reached base twice via walk and was cashed in on a Jared Walsh double in the fourth inning. Trout also teamed with Walsh on a successful double steal in the seventh frame. After going through the first 27 games of the campaign without a stolen-base attempt, Trout has picked up a pair of steals in his past four games. If he's able to continue adding to his stolen-base total, the veteran could easily reclaim his spot as fantasy's top offensive performer. As it is, he's been very productive with a .365/.484/.692 slash line, eight home runs and 18 RBI.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a stolen base in a 9-2 win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Trout's triple in the sixth inning plated the final run of the game for the Angels and resulted in his 18th RBI of the season. The superstar outfielder also singled and swiped second base in the fifth for his first steal of 2021. He has now picked up at least one theft in each of his 11 big-league campaigns, though he no longer runs nearly as often as he did early in his career.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday in a loss to the Rays.

The superstar outfielder put the Angels on the board in the sixth inning with a 383-foot shot to left field. The long ball pushed Trout's total to eight on the season, and he has also driven in 17 runs. The 29-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in his 11th big-league season, slashing a robust .407/.514/.779 across 105 plate appearances.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored Saturday in a victory versus the Mariners.

Trout put the Angels on the board with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball was Trout's seventh of the campaign and pushed his RBI total to 16. The superstar outfielder is slashing an incredible .429/.527/.805 through 93 plate appearances on the campaign. He has collected multiple hits six times during his past eight games and is batting .552 (16-for-29) over that stretch.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a double as the Angels fell 6-1 to the Rangers on Tuesday.

Continuing his torrid start, Trout recorded multiple hits for the fourth straight game but failed to knock in a run for the first time in the stretch. He increased his league-leading average and OPS to .431 and 1.353 respectively.

Trout went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI during Monday's win over the Rangers.

After missing the last three games due to a bruised left elbow, Trout returned to action Monday with a hot night at the plate, swatting a season-high four hits. The 29-year-old is no stranger to making solid contact, leading the Angels with a .426/.539/.820 slash line to go with six home runs.

Trout (elbow) is starting Monday's game against the Rangers, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout had been out of the lineup for the last three games due to a bruised left elbow, but he expected to return for Monday's series opener against Texas. Manager Joe Maddon confirmed that Trout and third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) will be back in the lineup Monday. Trout will bat third and play center field in the series opener.

Trout (elbow) expects to play in Monday's game against the Rangers, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout wasn't in the lineup for the last three games, but manager Joe Maddon said that the 29-year-old was able to take some swings in the batting cage Sunday. Even though Trout said after his cage work that he still isn't quite 100 percent healthy, the center fielder should be back in the starting nine for Monday's series opener.

Trout (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout is on the bench for the third day in a row while he contends with a bruised left elbow, but the superstar outfielder still appears in good position to avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Joe Maddon said that Trout was able to take some swings in the batting cage Sunday. Per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Trout said after the cage work that he's still not quite 100 percent healthy, but he expects to be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers.

Trout (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Trout suffered a left elbow contusion Thursday, and he'll be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Saturday. The 29-year-old should still be considered day-to-day, and it's not yet clear whether he could be available off the bench. Scott Schebler will start in center field and bat sixth Saturday.

Trout (elbow) was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Astros.

The 29-year-old was listed in the original lineup for Friday's contest, but the bruised left elbow apparently remains bothersome after being hit by a pitch Thursday. Trout should be considered day-to-day, while Scott Schebler takes over in center field for the Angles.

Trout (elbow) is starting in center field and batting third Friday at Houston.

The 29-year-old exited Thursday's series opener with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch, but it's reportedly a minor issue so he's back in the lineup Friday. Trout is off to a strong start in 2021 with a .393/.521/.804 slash line, six home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI, 15 runs and 14 walks through 17 games.

Trout (elbow) is expected to be in the lineup Friday for the Angels, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Trout exited Thursday's game after suffering an elbow contusion. However, manager Joe Maddon told reporters after the game that he believes Trout will be able to play Friday, unless something changes overnight. Regardless, it appears that Trout avoided serious injury, a relief for one of the brightest stars of the game.

Trout was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion Thursday.

Trout took a fastball off of his left elbow in the fourth inning. He remained in the contest for one additional frame, but was eventually taken out. It's unclear whether the injury will cause him to miss time, but it doesn't appear that he will be sidelined for an extended amount of game action.

Trout exited Thursday's contest in the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch on his elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Trout was hit by a fastball in the fourth inning and was tended to by trainers for a couple minutes. He remained in the game and played in the field for one frame after, but was ultimately pulled. At the time of his exit, the Angels were down 7-0 so it's possible the team simply decided to play it safe to ensure Trout's health moving forward.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

He connected on the first of four Angels solo shots, giving the team a quick lead in the first inning. Trout has come flying out of the gate this season, slashing .393/.507/.804 through 16 games with six homers and 12 RBI.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

After coming off an uncharacteristic night Monday, Trout returned Tuesday with three hits including a sixth-inning home run off Jordan Lyles. The outfielder is reminding everyone who's best, slashing .385/.508/1.277 through 15 games. His OBP leads the league and his OPS is second to Ronald Acuna. If there is any concern with Trout, it's that he hasn't attempted a stolen base.

Trout went 1-for-2 with two RBI, two runs, and two walks in Friday's 10-3 win over the Twins.

Trout did not homer nor did he notch an extra-base hit, but he still had an impactful performance Friday. His sixth inning two-run single would put the Angels on top for good. The great start to the 2021 season continues for Trout as he now owns a .385 batting average and 10 RBI. The 29-year-old has also put together an impressive 22.8 percent walk rate across 57 plate appearances.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Royals.

The future Hall of Famer is now batting .394 with a 1.394 OPS through 10 games. He has at least one extra-base hit in five of his last six games, but Trout still has not attempted a stolen base yet in 2021.

Trout went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.

The best player in baseball continued to dominate on Thursday, hitting a solo shot in the fifth inning off Ross Stripling. It was the third of the year for the 29-year-old, who is currently slashing a ridiculous .417/.563/.875.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

Trout took a 2-2 slider down in the zone for a two-run homer to give the Angels the first lead of the day. The 464-footer was his first career long ball against Zack Greinke. Trout has now homered in back-to-back games while batting .368 overall. He'll look to eclipse his career-high 45 home runs tallied during the 2019 season.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a home run and two walks in Monday's win over the Astros.

Trout went deep in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Luis Garcia, but that wasn't his only contribution at the plate -- he got on base four times and continues to see the ball extremely well, as he has walked multiple times in three of his first five games of the season. Trout is hitting .400 with a .609 on-base percentage through the first five games of the campaign, and while those numbers are not sustainable, they clearly indicate how hot Trout has begun the year.

Trout went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Trout struck out in his first plate appearance of the campaign, but he reached base in his subsequent three trips to the dish and picked up his first RBI with a single in the eighth inning. Now in his 11th big-league season, Trout remains one of the most consistently productive forces in the game and is likely to end up as one of fantasy's elite performers once again.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that he's leaning toward hitting Trout third in the lineup this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout has been somewhat quiet at the plate this spring, slashing .250/.417/.393 with one home run, one double, six RBI, four runs, seven walks and 10 strikeouts over 14 Cactus League games. Trout has batted second over most of his career, but he mainly batted third during the 2020 season and appears likely to do so once again in 2021.

Trout is batting just .167 (3-for-18) with a home run, two RBI and seven strikeouts so far in Cactus League play.

Trout hasn't made much noise in camp thus far, but it would be unwise to slide him down your draft board based on his performance in exhibition games. The superstar outfielder batted only .240 during spring/summer camp in 2020 and still went on to post a very Trout-like campaign, compiling a .993 OPS and ranking fourth in the league with 17 home runs.

Trout is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout sat Saturday and will observe again after the Angels were officially eliminated from postseason contention Friday. Jo Adell will start in center as Taylor Ward bats third. Trout's probably not going home with the AL MVP this year, but he still had a fantastic offensive season overall and is a no-doubt first-rounder for fantasy in 2021.

Trout will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The Angels are resting several players after being officially eliminated from the playoffs Friday. Whether or not Trout plays in Sunday's season finale remains to be seen. Jo Adell starts in center field in his absence,

Trout went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

Trout pushed the Angels ahead with a three-run blast against Clayton Kershaw in the third inning, ending a 12-game drought without a home run. The long ball was number 17 of the year for the talented 29-year-old, who is slashing .281/.390/.603 overall.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a base hit Sunday in the Angels' 7-2 loss to the Rangers.

Trout remains on track to turn in an OPS over 1.000 for the fourth straight season, but he's slowed down a bit over the past week and a half. Since taking over the MLB lead in home runs after smacking his 16th long ball of the season Sept. 10, Trout has gone 9-for-33 with three extra-base hits (all doubles) over the Angels' subsequent nine games. Given that he's managed to draw seven walks while striking out only five times over that stretch, Trout still seems to be seeing the ball well, so fantasy managers have reason to hope that he'll heat up over the final week of the season. He'll remain in the lineup for Monday's series finale, starting in center field and batting third.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over Texas.

Trout's solo shot off Kyle Gibson in the fifth extended the Halos' lead to 4-1. The center fielder now leads the majors with 16 homers as he continues to slash a tremendous .296/.392/.664.

Trout is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

This seems like nothing more than a well-deserved rest day after Trout started 32 consecutive games, including both ends of Saturday's doubleheader. He moved atop the franchise's all-time home-run leaderboard during the twin bill with his 300th career homer. Jo Adell starts in center field as Taylor Ward takes over in right against lefty Framber Valdez.

Trout went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a two-run home run and four total runs scored during a 10-9 win over the Astros in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

The 29-year-old superstar also went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and two runs in the nightcap, but it was his third-inning blast off Brandon Bielak in the matinee that put his name in the franchise record book -- it was Trout's 300th career homer, making him the Angels' all-time leader in that category. On the season, he's hitting .295 with 15 home runs and 38 RBI, and is on pace for his fourth straight campaign with an OPS over 1.000.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, three walks and another run scored during Friday's win over the Astros.

Trout launched a two-run homer to dead center field off Lance McCullers in the first inning to give the Angeles an early lead. The 29-year-old becomes the first player in the majors to reach the 14-home run mark this season. To top it off, the long ball was number 299 of Trout's career, tying Tim Salmon on the Angels' all-time leaderboard. Trout is now slashing .276/.371/.627 with 36 RBI and 29 runs scored.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three additional runs and six RBI in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Mariners.

Trout was unsurprisingly at the center of the Angels' biggest scoring output of the season, driving in at least six runs for the third time in his career. He's now collected two home runs and seven RBI through the first two games of the series, vaulting him into the MLB lead in the latter category with 32. His 12 home runs leave him tied for third in baseball and one behind the Twins' Nelson Cruz and Padres' Fernando Tatis for the MLB lead.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a victory over Seattle on Friday.

Trout entered the contest in the midst of an uncharacteristic slump, having hit only .122 (5-for-33) with no homers over his previous nine games. The veteran got back on track Friday, drilling his first long ball since Aug. 17. Despite Trout's recent struggles, he is still tied for fourth in the league with 11 home runs. He is also tied for eighth with 26 RBI.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a walk during Saturday's 4-3 win over the A's.

The 29-year-old brought home the first run of the game on a fielder's choice in the opening frame, and he then delivered a two-run double to give the Halos a 4-0 lead during the second inning. Trout has a .281/.349/.635 slash line with 10 homers and 25 RBI through 24 games.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a home run in Monday's win over the Giants.

Trout became the first player in MLB this season to reach double-digit home runs following his solo shot in the bottom of the third inning. The star centerfielder has gone deep five times in his last seven games as well, posting a .857 slugging percentage over that stretch.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's loss against the Dodgers.

Trout smacked a two-run shot in the bottom of the first off starter Walker Buehler, and that was his ninth home run of the season. The reigning AL MVP is tied with Aaron Judge and Fernando Tatis for the MLB lead in dingers, and he has been on a tear since returning from a short absence in late July and early August due to the birth of his child. Trout has hit for .311 with a 1.204 OPS and eight homers in 45 at-bats this month.

Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a sacrifice fly and a walk during Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the A's.

The 29-year-old clubbed his eighth homer of the year 399 feet to right field to tie the game at one during the first inning, and he brought home another run with the sac fly in the third inning. Trout unsurprisingly continues to put up MVP-level numbers with a .328/.377/.738 slash line in 15 games this season.

Trout went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Trout knocked a two-run shot in the bottom of the fourth, and he would also hit the game-winning bomb in the bottom of the eighth off reliever Yusmeiro Petit. Trout has been nearly unstoppable since returning to action Aug. 4, hitting safely in all but one of his games and posting a 1.373 OPS with six homers with 10 RBI in that stretch.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Trout got the scoring started in the first inning with his fourth homer in the last four games. The superstar center fielder, who turned 29 years old Friday, has five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored with a .317 batting average in 10 games this season.

Trout went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.

Trout unleashed a solo shot off starter Marco Gonzales in the sixth inning, and he later added a three-run bomb off reliever Taylor Williams in the eighth, although his late power surge wasn't enough to mount a comeback. Trout has homered three times in two games since returning to the lineup following a paternity leave, and he is slashing a strong .323/.389/.742 with a 1.131 OPS after a slow start to the season.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

The 29-year-old had missed the past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, and he didn't waste time to announce his presence -- he blasted a solo shot in the first inning off starter Justin Dunn. Trout got off to a slow start this season but is now riding a three-game hitting streak, going 5-for-13 with a .429 on-base percentage during that stretch.

Trout is starting in center field and batting second Tuesday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 29-year-old missed the past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, but he's back with the Angels and will reclaim his usual spot in the lineup. Trout has a .292/.357/.458 slash line with one homer through six games, and he'll now be joined in the outfield by the organization's top prospect, Jo Adell, who was recalled Monday and is making his major-league debut in Seattle.

The Angels reinstated Trout (personal) from the restricted list Monday.

The transaction indicates that Trout has cleared all COVID-19 testing protocols upon arriving in Seattle in advance of Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners. Trout missed the Angels' past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, but the eight-time All-Star should immediately slot back in as the team's everyday center fielder. He could be joined in the outfield Tuesday by top prospect Jo Adell, who will be formally called up from the team's alternate training site prior to the contest.

Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Sunday that Trout (personal) was transferred from the paternity to the restricted list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Trout is scheduled to join the Angels in Seattle for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners and is expected to be activated ahead of that game.

The impending birth of Trout's first child was something that weighed heavily into his valuation leading into fantasy drafts conducted shortly before the 60-game season began, but the star outfielder looks like he'll only end up missing four games on account of the personal matter. Assuming he clears all COVID-19-related protocols prior to rejoining the club, Trout should slot back in as the Angels' starting center fielder and No. 2 hitter Tuesday, resulting in Brian Goodwin shifting back over to right field. Before leaving the team Thursday, Trout looked like his usual self through the Angels' first six games, going 7-for-24 with a home run and four RBI.

Trout is expected to return from paternity leave as soon as Sunday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trout's wife, Jessica, gave birth to the couple's first child within the last few days. Trout indicated prior to the season that he wasn't entirely sold on the idea of playing during a pandemic immediately before or after becoming a father, though manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that he expected his star outfielder back soon. Saturday is Trout's final day of paternity leave, though it hasn't been confirmed that he'll be back in the lineup Sunday.

Trout was placed on the paternity list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The reigning American League MVP will head to the paternity list a little bit earlier than expected, with his wife Jessica originally due to have their first child Aug. 3. Trout will likely be out of the Halos lineup through the weekend series against the Astros, with him potentially returning to the fold for the following series against the Mariners.

Trout went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-7 loss against the Mariners.

Trout got off to a 1-for-7 start in the first two days of the season, but he has gone 6-for-17 with one homer and four RBI since then. Wednesday's game represented his season-high mark for hits and the fourth straight contest in which he reached base safely. All signs point towards him moving in the right direction.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.

Trout was responsible for knocking in all four of the Angels' runs in Sunday's game. That accounts for the 28-year-old's first contributions to the offense in three contests this year. There's no worry when it comes to Trout's offense -- he's coming off of a 45-homer, 104 RBI campaign in 2019.

Trout went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Trout has started the season 1-for-7 with two strikeouts and a walk, but it's only a matter of time before the reigning AL MVP gets it going. Trout hit .291 with 45 home runs and 104 RBI in 470 at-bats last season.

Trout will be tested regularly when away from the ballpark so that he will not have to quarantine to come back to the Angels once he and his wife have their first child, which is due Aug. 3, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

He recently confirmed his intentions to play this season, but will likely miss a few games for the birth of his child. This plan should minimize the time he ultimately misses to be with his wife and child.

Trout confirmed Wednesday that he intends to play to begin the season, Pedro Gomez of ESPN reports.

Trout was uncertain about his playing status for the 2020 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but he confirmed Wednesday that he's committed to playing. "Last time I talked I was up in the air. I'm playing," Trout said. He said that a COVID-19 outbreak could make him reassess his status, but he's encouraged by the health and safety measures that the league has taken so far. Trout intends to leave the team for the birth of his first child in early August, and he'll have to clear league protocol afterward before he's allowed to rejoin the team. The 2019 American League MVP hit a career-high 45 home runs with 104 RBI last season.

Trout seems to be ready to play on Opening Day, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It had been public for a few months that Trout would be away from the team at some point this season, as his wife is due to give birth to the couple's first child in early August. When he arrived at camp, however, he expressed doubts about playing in any capacity this year, given that a poorly-timed positive COVID-19 test would render him unable to be present for his child's birth. While Trout is still expected to miss a few days on either side of that event, both for paternity leave and then to clear league protocols for returning to the team, he's been a full participant in workouts and intrasquad games, and talk of him opting out of the season entirely seems to have died down.

Trout hasn't fully made up his mind to play this season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Trout's wife is due to give birth to the couple's first child in August. He told reporters Friday that keeping his wife and future child healthy is his top priority, so he may elect to stop playing if an outbreak of coronavirus occurs in order to be sure he can be present for his child's birth. He's previously made it clear that he intends to take paternity leave in order to be with his wife for the birth itself, but he could still elect to be away from the team for a longer period to help ensure that he doesn't test positive for COVID-19, something which would prevent him from seeing his baby for at least two weeks.

Trout has been staying in shape during the MLB hiatus in part by getting work in at a Little League field near his home in New Jersey, Mike Oz of Yahoo Sports reports.

Trout indicated that he has been working out every day, though he hasn't done much hitting. He also explained that he spent about a month "working hard like the offseason" and is now "transitioning into getting ready for the season." If a 2020 campaign takes place, expect Trout to once again put up MVP-caliber numbers while hitting in the heart of an improved Angels offense.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's Cactus League game against Kansas City.

Trout smoked the long ball to deep left field in the third inning off right-hander Jorge Lopez. It figures to be the first of many balls Trout will punish in 2020 as he vies for another MVP award. Trout is batting .333 (5-for-15) this spring.

Trout (foot) will bat second and play center field Tuesday against the Reds.

Trout underwent foot surgery in mid-September and didn't play in the Angels' first two spring games. He should still have plenty of time to get ready for the start of the regular season with Opening Day just over a month away. The three-time MVP's health is pretty much the only question surrounding him heading into the season, as he hasn't played more than 140 games in a season since 2016.

Trout (foot) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Reds, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The three-time and reigning American League MVP underwent surgery on his right foot in September, but it won't impact his preparation in Arizona, as expected. Trout finished 2019 with a 1.083 OPS, 45 home runs, 104 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 134 games. New manager Joe Maddon said last week it's possible he utilizes his center fielder out of the leadoff spot, though the skipper hasn't made any lineup decisions at this point.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that he hasn't ruled out deploying Trout (foot) as the club's leadoff hitter this season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. "It's in the playbook," Maddon said, though he noted that he yet to decide on lineup spots for any of his hitters at this point.

Trout hasn't been a fixture in the leadoff spot since his rookie season in 2012, with former skippers Mike Scioscia and Brad Ausmus using the outfielder almost exclusively out of the Nos. 2 and 3 spots over the past seven years. The safe money is on that pattern holding once Opening Day arrives, though it's worth noting that during his tenure with the Cubs, Maddon frequently used one of his top power hitters in Anthony Rizzo atop the order. Trout's superior speed and on-base skills would seemingly make him an even more natural fit than Rizzo as a leadoff man, so it wouldn't be surprising if Maddon at least experiments with the 28-year-old in a table-setting role during Cactus League action. No matter where he slots into the batting order once Opening Day arrives, Trout looks like he'll be a consensus top-three selection in fantasy drafts, provided he's fully healthy after undergoing surgery on his right foot last September.

Trout left Friday's game against the White Sox early for undisclosed reasons, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Trout exited a one-run game in the fifth inning, a move which wouldn't make much sense unless some sort of injury were involved. No update has come from the team yet.

Trout is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Rangers due to an injury on the bottom of his right foot, jeff reports.

Trout's absence from the lineup was initially labeled as a scheduled off day, but it's actually to manage the nagging foot issue. The 28-year-old will now have two days in a row to rest up thanks to Thursday's scheduled off day. Brian Goodwin is starting in center field in his place.
