Trout has been out sometime now after undergoing surgery to repair his thumb. He was deleted to his fifth straight All-Star but the club has elected to play it safe with their star player.
Trout is batting .337 with 16 homers and 36 RBI’s on the season. Anaheim has been able to stay a float with Trout and with his return they will be a serious threat in the playoff hunt. As more information surfaces on the Angels and their news we will keep you up to date.
