Overview

  • Mike Trout is steadily recovering from a left-knee bone bruise sustained in late April, with no soreness reported as he increases jogging intensity to around 50–60%.
  • The Angels are holding Trout back until he completes full-speed base running, the final hurdle before he can return to game action.
  • Trout is hitting daily at game-speed velocity and has expressed optimism about his progress, stating he does not believe a minor-league rehab assignment will be necessary.
  • Angels manager Ron Washington emphasized the team's cautious approach, citing Trout's injury history and the need to confirm all recovery milestones to avoid setbacks.
  • In roster updates, the Angels promoted top prospect Christian Moore to Triple-A and advanced Robert Stephenson’s rehab assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
