- Tests confirmed a bone bruise but no structural damage, leading the Angels to place him on the 10-day injured list as a precautionary measure.
- Trout had played all 29 games this season, matching his total appearances in 2024 before a meniscus tear ended his season early.
- The Angels, currently last in the AL West, face challenges replacing Trout's presence in the lineup as they explore temporary outfield options.
- At age 33, Trout's recurring injuries have raised concerns about his durability, despite his elite career achievements as a three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star.
