Mike Trout Hits 39th Home Run

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout blasted his 39th home run of the season against the Texas Rangers on Sunday. The superstar outfielder kicked off what became a six-run inning with an infield hit in the opening frame. He'd come back to blast a homer off Tyson Miller in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old is hitting .282/.367/.627 with 39 long balls and 79 RBI in just 116 games. Possibly, Trout will be able to reach 40 home runs before the season is over.

Mike Trout Is In The Starting Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) is back in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Texas Rangers. Trout fouled a ball off his foot during Friday's game and sat out Saturday's contest as a result.

Mike Trout Dealing With A Sore Foot

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) missed Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers due to a sore foot. He fouled a ball off his foot during the seventh inning of Friday's win over the Rangers. The 31-year-old is considered day-to-day. Injuries have limited the star outfielder to 115 games in 2022, and with the Angels out of the playoff race, expect Trout to have a few days off. He is slashing .27/.363/.618 with 38 home runs, 78 RBI, 82 runs, and a stolen base over 480 plate appearances. Taylor Ward will handle centerfield duties while Trout is sidelined.

Angels Reinstate Anthony Rendon, Designate Mike Ford

The Angels have reinstated third baseman Anthony Rendon from the 60-day injured list, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic. First baseman Mike Ford was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rendon, 32, played 45 games this season before he underwent wrist surgery in June. At the time, that procedure was categorized as “season-ending,” though…

Mike Trout Has A Big Game Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in the 10-3 blowout win over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. In the process he extended his modest hitting streak to five games. Amidst another disappointing season for the Angels, the 31-year-old All-Star is slashing .278/.364/.619 with a .983 OPS, 37 home runs, 77 RBI, 79 runs scored and a stolen base in 407 at-bats. The 10-time All-Star is closing out the 2022 season strong, as he's hitting .308 (24-for-78) with nine home runs, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored in 20 games in the month of September so far. He remains a must-start across all fantasy formats in the final stretch of the season.

Mike Trout Isn't In Monday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout isn't in the team's starting lineup on Monday for a matchup with the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. The 30-year-old is hitting .276 with a .364 on-base percentage, 36 home runs, and a stolen base in 437 plate appearances this season. He'll head to the bench with Magneuris Sierra starting in center field and batting ninth instead. Sierra is hitting .181 this season in 88 plate appearances for the Angels, with a .218 on-base percentage and six stolen bases. Fantasy managers are probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming options in the outfield.

Mike Trout Homers In Seventh Consecutive Game Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout continued his impressive streak in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Guardians, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. Trout crushed a fifth-inning Konnor Pilkington fastball to straightaway center for his 35th HR of the season. More importantly, this was Trout's seventh consecutive game with a long ball, putting him one away from tying the MLB record. The 31-year-old has once again been one of fantasy's most reliable performers, slashing .279/.368/.633 with 69 RBI and one steal.

Mike Trout Homers For Fifth Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is on a tear, as he hit his fifth home run in five days on Friday. He was 1-for-4 overall, and his homer was a two-run shot. Not only has Trout gone deep for five straight games, but across his last 15 contests, the superstar is batting .317 with nine bombs and a 1.169 OPS. Even though the 31-year-old missed over a month of baseball with a back and rib injury, he's having a sensational year, slashing .277/.366/.619 with 33 HRs, 69 runs, 64 RBI, and one stolen base over 98 games. Trout's been one of the best all-around fantasy players during his career, and that hasn't changed this season.

Mike Trout Resting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout appears to be getting a day of rest on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Trout returned from the injured list last Friday and had played in six straight games, so the Angels are just giving the 31-year-old outfielder a breather. In six games since his return, Trout has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored. It's great to see that his back/ribs injury that had kept him out since July 12 hasn't really affected him since he's been back. Trout will remain a must-start fantasy asset whenever he's on the field. Magneuris Sierra is starting in center field and hitting sixth against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen on Thursday. Sierra should be avoided in DFS. He has 13 hits in 69 at-bats and is still searching for his first home run.

Mike Trout Back From The Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels activated outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) from the injured list on Friday. After facing live pitching earlier this week, Trout was targeting a return on Friday for the start of the team's series against the Detroit Tigers. The 31-year-old superstar missed five weeks of action with a rare back condition, but Trout has downplayed the injury and will hopefully be fine the rest of the way. He'll return to a .270/.368/.599 slash line with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and a stolen base in 79 games. Fantasy managers need to plug him back into their starting lineups in all formats.

Mike Trout Could Return This Week

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout's (back, ribs) return from the injured list appears imminent, and interim manager Phil Nevin wouldn't rule out a return as early as Wednesday. However, it appears more likely that Trout would return against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. He started doing rotational exercises on Aug. 3 and swinging off a tee on Aug. 8. Trout then progressed to soft toss on Aug. 13 and has been throwing and running without issues. The 31-year-old said he felt great after facing live pitching on Monday, so he appears ready to return to the team without going on a minor league rehab assignment. It's great news, as there was a bit of concern that Trout might not even make it back to play in 2022 for a while.

Mike Trout Takes Live Batting Practice Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) took live batting practice on Monday, which means he hit against an actual pitcher throwing at game speed. It's the last step necessary before playing in games, but it's unknown if he'll actually go on a minor league rehab assignment. Whether Trout plays in minor league games first will be up to him, according to skipper Phil Nevin. The 31-year-old is getting very close to rejoining the Halos lineup, which should have fantasy managers ecstatic. The 10-time All-Star was hitting .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and a stolen base in 79 games before his injury, and he'll remain a must-start in fantasy lineups once he returns to the Angels.

Mike Trout Takes Batting Practice On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) reportedly took batting practice on Sunday, according to a tweet from The Athletic's Sam Blum. Blum wrote, "Phil Nevin said Mike Trout did a full round of BP today, more than yesterday." Blum also noted in his tweet that Trout's "outlook sounds optimistic that he can begin hitting off of live pitching at some point soon." Prior to landing on the injured list, Trout was in the midst of enjoying another strong year at the plate, hitting .270 with a .368 on-base percentage, 24 home runs and a stolen base in 326 plate appearances for the Angels this season.

Mike Trout Takes BP On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) took batting practice on Saturday. It was the first time he had done this since landing on the injured list in late July. The 31-year-old is dealing with a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction. He reportedly felt good after hitting on the field Saturday. The star outfielder slashed .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored, and one stolen base in 282 at-bats before landing on the injured list. Trout will continue to ramp up his baseball activities in upcoming weeks but remains without a timetable for a return.

Mike Trout Plays Catch Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) was able to play catch on the field before Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Trout recently began hitting off a tee earlier in the week and has now upped his baseball activities even more as he attempts to get back on the field before the end of the season. The Angels have yet to provide a timetable for Trout's return from the injured list but at least he's trending in the right direction. Trout is hitting .270 with 24 homers, 55 runs, 51 RBI, and a steal across 79 games in 2022.

Mike Trout Begins Hitting Off A Tee

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) started hitting off a tee on Monday. Trout took dry swings over the weekend and progressed to tee work to begin this week. The 31-year-old superstar was sidelined before the All-Star break with a rare back condition that has caused rib-cage inflammation, but he insists that he'll return before the end of the season. However, with the Angels well out of playoff contention yet again, they're unlikely to rush him back into action. Even though he's without a timetable for a return, fantasy managers should continue stashing Trout in an injured list spot in all leagues. Trout is currently hitting .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and one stolen base in 282 at-bats this year.

Mike Trout Takes "Dry Swings" On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) took dry swings Saturday and had no issues. The 30-year-old superstar had been sidelined since the All-Star break due to a rare back called costovertebral dysfunction. He will increase activity, and the Angels will see how he feels afterward. "Everything went well" today, said head athletic trainer Mike Frostad. Trout slashed .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored, and one stolen base in 282 at-bats before landing on the injured list. Trout is trending in the right direction in his recovery, but it remains unclear if he returns to action this season.

Mike Trout Starts Rotational Exercises

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) started rotational work on Wednesday, which is intended to build him up to the point where he's able to swing, according to head athletic trainer Mike Frostad. However, there is no specific timetable on when he'll resume swinging a bat. The good news is that Trout is progressing as expected. Alarm bells sounded when it was reported that the 30-year-old superstar might be dealing with a chronic back injury, but Trout downplayed the seriousness of his injury and expects to return in 2022. He's been out since July 16, though, and fantasy managers need to remain patient with one of the best players in the game. Before his injury, Trout was slashing .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and one stolen base in 282 at-bats. Keep him stashed everywhere.

Mike Trout Expects To Play Again In 2022

Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) expects to play again in 2022. He continues to battle a condition called costovertebral dysfunction. The 30-year-old said he would play again this year. "I got to stay on top of the routine I do on a daily basis to prevent it from coming back. I feel good where it's at right now. Every day it's improving. I felt really good today," said Trout. The star outfielder is not concerned about his career. Trout has been on the injured list since July 18. The Angels are out of the playoff race and won't rush their star player back. Trout doesn't have a timetable for a return, but fantasy managers should continue to stash him in all leagues for now.

Mike Trout Battling Rare Back Condition

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back, ribs) might need at least one more week for his cortisone shot to take effect before he can ramp up his baseball activity. But there remains long-term uncertainty about when he can return while he battles a rare condition called costovertebral dysfunction. Trout is feeling better, but there's no timeline for his return as he deals with rib-cage inflammation that's creating back pain. Head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said it's something that Trout could have to manage "through the rest of his career probably." The 30-year-old went on the injured list on July 18, and with the Angels now well out of playoff contention, there will be no rush to bring him back prematurely. It's definitely not good news for one of the best players in the game.

Mike Trout Remains Day-To-Day While On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels skipper Phil Nevin provided an update on outfielder Mike Trout (ribs) on Tuesday, saying, "Progressing like we think. Basically, it's a lot of rest right now as we manage our way through his IL days. It's just more with these back things ... it's more of a day-to-day thing. I meet with the trainers, I'll meet again later on today." Trout received a cortisone shot last Friday and remains on the injured list without a firm date for a return to action. The struggling Angels would like him back more than anything, but they won't rush one of the best players in baseball. There's still hope that he can return later this week. Brandon Marsh has started each of the team's last four games in center field with Trout sidelined.

Mike Trout Receives Cortisone Shot, Won't Return Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) will not be ready to return by Monday, the day he is eligible to return from the IL. Trout received a cortisone shot in his back a few days ago and won't be up to speed at the start of the new week. His timeline after that is unknown right now, but he should hopefully be ready to return later in the week. Trout has managed to stay healthier this season than he has the past few, but has started to deal with the injury bug again recently. Fantasy managers need Trout to stay healthy, as there is simply no replacement for his .270/.368/.599 slash line.

Angels Put Mike Trout On Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder Mike Trout (rib cage) on the 10-day injured list with rib-cage inflammation on Monday. Trout will be eligible to return to action for the second game after the All-Star break, so he may not wind up missing all that much time. The 30-year-old superstar missed the final four games of the first half of the season with what the team was calling back spasms, and he'll also miss the All-Star game in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Hopefully, he's back to full health when the second half resumes. Trout remains a must-start fantasy player and finished the first half of 2022 with a .270/.368/.599 slash line with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and one stolen base in 282 at-bats.

Mike Trout Won't Play In All-Star Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back), who has been out the last four games due to back spasms, will not play in Tuesday's All-Star game in Los Angeles. He's being replaced on the American League roster by Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France, and Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton will start in Trout's place Tuesday. The three-time AL MVP was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he said that his back didn't feel right while swinging in the cages before the game. Trout remains a must-start in fantasy, but he has only one multi-hit game and six RBI in the last three weeks. He'll finish the first half of the season with a .270/.368/.599 slash line, a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and one stolen base in 79 games.

The 30-year-old missed his fourth straight contest with upper back spasms. The Angels are off Sunday; Trout is considered day-to-day. It's unclear if Trout will play in the All-Star game. The superstar outfielder is having another productive season, slashing .270/.368/.599 with 24 home runs, 51 RBI, and 55 runs across 79 games.

Luckily, he's able to get in one final game before the All-Star break as the Angels will be off on Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) will not be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was initially expected back today, but the lineup card says otherwise. It sounds like he is still dealing with upper back spasms, although he is once again listed on the lineup card and could be available off the bench. Expect the five-category star to rejoin the Angels lineup very soon, in all likelihood this weekend. For now, Jo Adell will play in his third straight game with Trout out of the lineup.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the start of the Freeway Series, according to manager Phil Nevin. Trout was removed from the game early on Tuesday due to back spasms, and he hasn't played since. It isn't a serious concern, though, so fantasy managers should have the 30-year-old superstar for the weekend series against the Dodgers to close out the first half of the season. Jo Adell, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake, is starting his second game in a row on Thursday against the Houston Astros with Trout still out. Fantasy managers will want to get Trout back into lineups in all formats when he returns on Friday.

He underwent an MRI and a CT scan and the two exams showed no muscle strains or tightness. It sounds as if he will still need at least another day or two off before returning to the field, but he's still expected to play in next Tuesday's All-Star game at this point.

Mike Trout Unlikely To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Angels skipper Phil Nevin said that outfielder Mike Trout (back) is unlikely to return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the Houston Astros due to back spasms. Trout left the game early on Tuesday and was held out of the lineup on Wednesday in the team's 7-1 win. With the 30-year-old superstar dealing with injury, the Angels called up outfielder Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake, and he started and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two strikeouts on Wednesday. Taylor Ward got the start in center field and should be there again if Trout sits for a second straight game. Fantasy managers should consider Trout day-to-day at this point. He's hitting .270/.368/.599 with a .967 OPS, 24 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs scored and one stolen base this year.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros due to upper back spasms. After the game, Angels manager Phil Nevin stated that he removed Trout "without any discussion," saying that he "didn't like the way he was moving." Nevin also added that he believes that Trout won't require a stint on the injured list. Trout was 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's game before being lifted. He's had a surprisingly rough time at the plate in July. Over 10 games, he's gone just 6-for-36 with one extra-base hit (a homer), two walks and 18 strikeouts.

Mike Trout Slumping Over First Week Of July

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 0-for-4 in the team's 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. It was his second consecutive 0-for-4 outing as he continued his sluggish start to the month of July. Over his first six games of the month, he's gone just 1-for-22 at the plate with a highly uncharacteristic 13 strikeouts and only one walk. The 30-year-old has been fantastic at the plate this year as he ranks fourth in the majors in home runs (23) and sixth in the majors in OPS (.967). Expect for the future Hall of Famer to shake off this recent rough stretch soon.
