Mike Trout Nears Return After Knee Surgery

Angels star to begin rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake next week before potential Thursday activation.

Trout has been sidelined since April due to a torn meniscus in his left knee.
He will face live pitching in Arizona before starting his rehab assignment on Monday.
The three-time MVP has played only 266 games since 2021 due to multiple injuries.
Despite limited play, Trout has maintained impressive offensive stats over recent seasons.
The Angels currently hold a 41-56 record, struggling in Trout's absence.
