Baseball — 07/24/2024

Mike Trout was pulled from a Triple-A rehab game two innings in because of left knee soreness, which was a disheartening report for the Los Angeles Angels, according to the team. He is currently considered to be day-to-day due to discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee. Trout struck out in Triple-A Salt Lake’s lone at-bat.

The 11-time All-Star was expected to make his comeback this week, but the most recent information indicates that might not be the case. Since his most recent game on April 29 against the Philadelphia Phillies, Trout has not played in the major leagues. The following month, he underwent surgery to repair his left meniscus; due to his recuperation, his return was scheduled for late July or early August.

Trout has been making good progress in his recovery over the last two months, clearing obstacles to start his Triple-A assignment. He was supposed to play five innings, but his stiffness forced him to leave the game before it started.

Trout was batting before going on the disabled list in April.220 along with six stolen bases, ten home runs, and fourteen RBIs.

Regarding Mike Trout’s comeback, Ron Washington is deciding to wait and see.

Manager Ron Washington announced prior to Tuesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners that Trout would play five innings as a designated hitter and then seven innings on Thursday in the outfield. After his most recent setback with an injury, those intentions undoubtedly changed.

Washington stated, according to ESPN, to “wait and see how things go each day.” “Unless he is certain, he won’t want to return. We are overjoyed to be getting him back soon.”Trout was ecstatic ahead of Tuesday’s game against Salt Lake City at Smith’s ballpark (via KSL Sports):

Trout remarked, “It brings back a lot of good memories.” “Obviously, this isn’t where I want to be when I return, but I’m making the most of it. I have to get the work done now that I’m here and have fun.

Angels supporters will watch in hopes that Mike Trout’s most recent injury setback is not catastrophic and that he can get back to playing in the major leagues as soon as possible.
