Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) landed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left knee bone bruise, Jeff Fletcher, Angels beat writer, reports. Trout was hustling out a ground ball on Wednesday and was removed from the game after seemingly coming up limping. After the game, Trout told reporters his knee was feeling better, but he was left out of the lineup Thursday and is now on the injured list. The Angels have downplayed the injury thus far, and manager Ron Washington added that the injury is not believed to be significant and that there is no structural damage. This is likely a proactive measure to sideline Trout for 10 days and have him return after the minimal stay on the injured list. However, no timeline has been announced yet. With Trout out of the lineup, Jorge Soler shifted to right field with Tyler Ward and Jo Adell occupying the other two outfield spots.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) landed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left knee bone bruise, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports. Trout was hustling out a ground ball on Wednesday and was removed from the game after seemingly coming up limping. After the game, Trout told reporters his knee was feeling better, but he was left out of the lineup Thursday and is now on the injured list. The Angels have downplayed the injury thus far, and manager Ron Washington added that the injury is not believed to be significant and that there is no structural damage. This is likely a proactive measure to sideline Trout for 10 days and have him return after the minimal stay on the injured list. However, no timeline has been announced yet. With Trout out of the lineup, Jorge Soler shifted to right field with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell occupying the other two outfield spots.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) is absent from Thursday's lineup in the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and is batting third, while catcher Logan O'Hoppe will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Travis d'Arnaud is catching and in the six-hole. The Angels pulled Trout as a precaution in Wednesday's game after he dealt with some soreness in his left knee, so it's not all that much of a surprise that he's not playing a day later. As far as we know, the 33-year-old All-Star isn't dealing with any structural damage and is just considered day-to-day for now. But given all of his injury issues in recent seasons, it wouldn't be a surprise if he finds his way to the injured list. Trout is hitting just .179 in 106 at-bats so far, but he has contributed nine homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored in 29 games played.

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington said that outfielder Mike Trout (knee) felt soreness in his left knee when he hit first base in Wednesday's 9-3 loss to the division-rival Seattle Mariners, and the Angels removed him as a precaution. He went 1-for-2 in the game before being replaced by Jo Adell in right field. Trout said his knee is already feeling better and has undergone some tests. The 33-year-old three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star said he will try to play in Thursday's series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. This is not what fantasy managers that selected Trout at a discount this year want to hear with the calendar about to flip to May, but as of right now, it sounds like he's just day-to-day. Trout had yet to miss a game this year, appearing in all 29 games (22 of them in right field). Last year, he made it just 29 games before suffering a torn meniscus that eventually required surgery. Trout started strong in 2025 but is now hitting .173 with nine homers and 18 RBI.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout saw a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever Cole Sands in the seventh inning and deposited it into the left field seats for his ninth of the season as the Angels lost to the Twins 11-4. He is now tied for the MLB lead in that department. Trout is enjoying a nice power surge to start the 2025 campaign, but is only batting .185 thus far. Look for Trout to find more consistency at the plate throughout the season, but his power production has been incredible for fantasy managers. He is now slashing .185/.280/.511 with the nine home runs, 14 runs scored, and 18 RBI to go with two stolen bases. Next up for Trout are a few right-handed Twins pitchers, Simeon Woods Richardson and Joe Ryan, to wrap their three-game series against the Twins.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout connected on a pair of solo home runs to provide all the Angels' offense in their 3-2 loss to the Giants on Saturday night. Trout had solo blasts in the fourth and sixth innings off San Francisco's starter Landen Roupp, who was excellent aside from those two home runs. Trout's two taters bring him to eight home runs on the year, just one behind the MLB lead held by the Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom. Trout is hitting just .189 in his 20 games, but his eight home runs and two stolen bases have helped him keep his fantasy value. He has a .338 ISO and .333 wOBA along with a 50.9% hard-hit rate. His .133 BABIP and his batting average will likely trend up if he keeps hitting the ball so hard. Continue to play Trout for his power potential, and expect the batting average to come around as well.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout has been a stud early in the season. On Saturday, Trout kicked off the scoring with a two-run single off Ryan Gusto in the opening frame. Trout didn't do much more in this game, but was involved in an odd play where the fan appeared to take the ball out of his glove. The 33-year-old has been awesome early in the season with six home runs and 14 RBI with eight walks as well. The biggest problem for Trout has been staying healthy, but he's one of the best hitters in the league when he plays.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout had a big day at the plate, along with several other teammates, in the team's 11-1 drubbing of the Tampa Bay Rays in Thursday's series finale. Trout went 2-for-5 with two home runs, two runs scored and three RBI to keep his early-season power streak going. The Angels clubbed a whopping six homers off Rays right-hander Zack Littell, with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell also hitting two homers apiece. The 33-year-old Trout is hitting only .205 through his first 12 games of 2025, but he has five homers, 11 RBI and an .895 OPS. The primary takeaway is that he's been able to stay healthy after playing in only 29 games in 2024 and 82 the previous season due to injuries. If Trout can stay healthy for the majority of the season, fantasy managers that took the chance on him at his lowered cost will be pleasantly surprised.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Guardians. In addition to the two RBI, he also scored twice in the contest. That now makes three consecutive games with a home run for the veteran and four straight with an extra-base hit. Despite that, the former 3x AL MVP is hitting just .172 (5-for-29) through eight games. All told, the 33-year-old has a .172/.278/.517 slash line with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored, no steals, a .318 wOBA, and a 103 wRC+. While it is still early, fantasy managers who drafted the 11x All-Star will want to see him raise his batting average more and steal a few bases. He'll have a chance to collect a couple of hits on Sunday when the Angels face the Guardians' Luis Ortiz in the series finale. Ortiz allowed nine hits, four walks, and seven earned runs his last time out.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout belted a first-inning solo home run off of Cleveland's starter Gavin Williams, while also walking once and scoring twice in the 8-6 loss to the Guardians. While his batting averageof .160 doesn't look like much, that makes three consecutivegames with an extra-base hit (1 2B, 2 HR) and at least one run scored, as well as four straightwith an RBI. A .317 xBA suggests things should be going better for the 33-year-old slugger, so perhaps he is starting to heat up. The 3x AL MVP has never faced Saturday's starter Tanner Bibee before, but has a 121 batterversus pitcher matchup rating according to RotoBaller'sBvP tool, so he could be a solid DFS play. Fantasymanagers in season-long leagues will, of course, continueto fire up the 11x All-Star.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout continued his slow start at the plate in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Cardinals. The 33-year-old went 0-for-3 with two RBI and a strikeout. The power hitter is now 1-for-13 in his first four games. While this is not what fantasy managers were hoping for, the main thing is that Trout entered the season healthy, as his inability to stay on the field has been his biggest fantasy hindrance over the last several seasons. Unfortunately, the Angels haven't gotten things going offensively as a whole, so fantasy managers may have to hope that Trout can be a catalyst for his team. It may be frustrating, but fantasy managers need to be patient this early in the season.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout has gone deep twice over his first six spring training contests. Trout has gone 4-for-11 with a double, two long balls, and a 5:5 BB:K ratio. The 33-year-old suffered a season-ending knee injury last summer but appears to be at full strength. Last season, Trout appeared in just 29 contests and held a .220/.325/.541 slash line with 10 home runs and six stolen bases. He generated an elite .405 xwOBA, 17.1 percent barrel rate, and a 12.7 percent walk rate. In 2023, Trout appeared in 82 games and posted a strong .263/.367/.490 slash line with 18 home runs and two stolen bases. Even though Trout has battled numerous injuries throughout his career, when on the field, he is one of the most productive outfielders in the sport. If he remains healthy in spring training, Trout could be an excellent value pick in all formats.

MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) will make his Cactus League debut this year on Monday against the San Francisco Giants. The Angels are planning to move Trout to right field in 2025 in order to try and keep him healthy for the entire season. The 33-year-old three-time American League MVP has played fewer than 82 games in three of the last four seasons, including just 29 in 2024 after needing multiple surgeries to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee. Trout's injuries in recent seasons and the fact that he's now 33 have caused his fantasy stock to drop considerably from being an annual first-rounder to being ranked as the No. 35 fantasy outfielder this year. There's now plenty of risk, but the good news is that Trout was looking good last year before getting hurt, clubbing 10 home runs and stealing six bases in just 29 games.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) said on Monday that he'll be making the move to play right field in 2025. Trout will still mix in a little as the designated hitter and in center field, but he'll primarily be the Angels' right fielder. It's a move that both Trout and the team have agreed on in an effort to keep him healthy for the entire season. The 33-year-old has played regularly in center field since 2014, but he's only been able to play an average of 66 games a season the last few years as injuries have piled up. As a result, he's no longer a lock as a first-round fantasy pick this year and is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 35 outfielder. The encouraging thing is that the three-time MVP hit 10 home runs and stole six bases in 29 games in 2024 before being shut down with a knee injury, so there's still hope he can bounce back if he can stay healthy.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) hasn't played more than 119 games in a single season since 2019. Last season, Trout only managed to play in 29 contests before tearing his meniscus in his left knee. Trout obviously isn't getting any younger and these major injuries are certainly taking a toll on his body. That being said, the Angels plan to figure out a way to keep Trout healthy this season. Angels' manager Ron Washington plans to meet with Trout in person and discuss a strategy for the upcoming 2025 campaign. The expectation is that Trout will see more time at the designated hitter spot. When in the outfield, Trout will probably play the corner outfield spots which will hopeful be less demanding on his body. Having Trout healthy is great for baseball in general, so hopefully 2025 is a better year for the veteran slugger.

MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger writes that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) is currently healthy heading into spring training after having the meniscus in his left knee repaired twice last year. The 33-year-old had a normal offseason, but the Angels have talked about moving him to a corner outfield spot more often to try and keep him healthy. Trout said last year that he'd be open to a move, and he's also likely to see more time at designated hitter despite the offseason acquisition of Jorge Soler to be their primary DH. The three-time American League MVP and 11-time All-Star played in only 36 games in 2021, 119 in 2022, 82 in 2023 and 29 last year due to injuries. Trout did manage 10 homers and six steals in his 29 games in 2024, so if he can stay healthy, he could still be a top-tier fantasy commodity. But his injuries over the years have dropped him to a No. 34 rank among fantasy outfielders at RotoBaller.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) recently said that he's open to the idea of moving to a corner outfield spot or designated hitter next season. This news comes while Trout is recovering from his second knee surgery of the season. Trout has resisted the idea of moving from center field in the past, but seems open to the idea now. It's worth noting that Trout has struggled in the designated hitter spot throughout his career. However, Trout is one of the greatest hitters in the game, so he'll find a way to adjust, but there will probably be a learning curve. Trout has only played over 100 games once over the last five seasons. A move to full-time DH could help the 33-year-old stay healthy, which is great for fantasy managers and baseball in general.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) had successful left-knee surgery on his birthday on Wednesday, according to the team. Trout needed surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee that landed him on the injured list back in April. The 33-year-old 11-time All-Star attempted to start a minor-league rehab assignment in late July but made it just one at-bat before experiencing more soreness in his knee. He should have plenty of time to heal up and be ready for the start of spring training in 2025, but this is now two years in a row that Trout has lost to injuries. Once the unquestioned top overall option in fantasy leagues, Trout is falling quickly and has developed an injury-prone label on the wrong side of 30. He managed to play in only 29 games in 2024 and hit .220/.325/.541 with 10 home runs, 14 RBI, six steals and 17 runs scored.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, according to Angels general manager Perry Minasian. Trout has been sidelined since late April due to a torn meniscus. The 32-year-old began a rehab assignment last week but was pulled from a game due to discomfort. Unfortunately, the three-time American League MVP will now sit out the remainder of the summer after playing in a career-low 29 games. During this small stint, Trout held a .220/.325/.541 line with 10 home runs and six stolen bases. His metrics remained quite strong as he sat with a 17.1% barrel rate and a .599 xSLG. Injuries have gotten the best out of the future Hall of Famer over the past few seasons, and remains without a definite timetable for 2025. Fantasy managers should expect Mickey Moniak to cover center field for the remainder of the season.

Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said that outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has had another setback with his surgically repaired knee and is being re-evaluated on Tuesday. Trout was hoping to return in late July after having surgery to fix the meniscus in his knee earlier this season, but he returned to LA to have an MRI exam last week after taking just one at-bat with Triple-A Salt Lake on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old apparently still isn't feeling great, and at this point with the Angels firmly out of contention, it's fair to wonder if the 11-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer will return this year at all. Trout is now in the midst of a second straight lost season due to injury and will lose even more fantasy value going into 2025, regardless of whether he returns to close out this season. Mickey Moniak should continue to play regularly in center field for the Halos with Trout sidelined.
