Mike Trout Optimistic About Quick Return Following Knee Injury

The Angels star reports no structural damage and hopes for a minimum IL stint, though his return hinges on running readiness.

Overview

  • Mike Trout sustained a bone bruise in his left knee during a game in Seattle and was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday.
  • Trout expressed confidence in a swift recovery, citing no structural damage and significant improvement in pain levels since the injury.
  • Angels GM Perry Minasian refrained from providing a specific timeline for Trout's return, emphasizing the need for him to demonstrate running readiness first.
  • The injury adds to a series of setbacks for Trout in recent years, including a calf strain, back injury, broken hamate bone, and meniscus tears.
  • The Angels continue to struggle offensively, ranking last in on-base percentage and walks, and are reshuffling their outfield and DH roles in Trout's absence.
