Star outfielder Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels is gradually recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee, which he suffered on April 29 against the Phillies. He was expecting a faster recovery, but it’s taken longer than he thought.

“It’s approaching. Though it’s definitely slower than I anticipated, this is Trout’s first experience dealing with a knee injury. “Just trusting the process and taking it day by day.”

An update on Trout’s health was given prior to the Angels’ 6-3 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday. Although he hasn’t started running yet, he has started jogging and riding a stationary bike and elliptical. He wants to start playing baseball soon, but first he needs to strengthen his knee.

Trout has had difficulty locating activities that do not cause discomfort to his knee. He is learning to distinguish between normal and abnormal discomfort, since he has been dealing with general soreness and pain, which is common following such surgery.

Trout’s return is not officially scheduled, but players who sustain comparable injuries usually recover in four to six weeks. Trout is at that point right now, but he doesn’t appear to be close to going back to the field.

Trout remarked, “I’ve spoken to a lot of people who experienced this.” “When I return, there will be aches and pains. It will gradually become better.

“I’ve taken lessons from the past. Trout remarked, “I’m taking it day by day. “I just have to confirm that it’s correct. When I attempted to return too quickly last year, I kind of went through it.
