Angels To Place Mike Trout On Injured List
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Angels will place outfielder Mike Trout on the injured list due to a hamstring injury, with infielder Christian Moore being recalled to fill his roster spot.
- Trout showed no signs of injury during the previous game, so the issue likely arose afterward; no further details on the injury's severity have been disclosed.
- At 34, Trout has been performing well this season with a .234/.394/.472 batting line, 17 home runs, and a 139 wRC+, but injuries have limited his playing time in recent years.
- The Angels, currently 30-45 and near the bottom of the league standings, face a significant setback losing their best player amid an already challenging season.
- To compensate, the Angels plan to use Jo Adell, Wade Meckler, and Jose Siri in the outfield, with Moore and other infielders potentially covering outfield positions as needed.
