• Angels' Mike Trout: Open to moving from center field

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Trout (knee) said Monday that he is open to moving to a corner outfield spot or serving as a designated hitter in 2025, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Trout tore the meniscus in his left knee for the second time this season in late July, and he underwent surgery to repair the injury Aug. 9. Trout has progressed through his recovery program to do agility drills, and he revealed Monday that he has been cleared to swing a bat. He expects to have a normal offseason and appears to be considering a position shift in 2025 to reduce the risk of injury to his left knee.

  The Angels transferred Trout (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Ryan Miller. Trout is out for the season after needing a second surgery on his left knee earlier this month to repair a torn meniscus.

• Angels' Mike Trout: Surgery successful

  08/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Trout underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Trout only managed one at-bat during his rehab assignment before suffering what we now know is a torn left meniscus. The injury officially ended his 2024 season, but following Wednesday's successful surgery it seems as though the 32-year-old will be recovered in time for the start of the 2025 campaign. In the 29 games Trout played this year, he slashed .220/.325/.541 with 10 homers, 17 runs, 14 RBI and six stolen bases.

• Angels' Mike Trout: Tears meniscus, out for season

  08/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Trout will miss the rest of the 2024 season after he was diagnosed Thursday with a meniscus tear in his left knee, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Trout was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment last week due to some knee discomfort, and he then suffered a setback in his recovery earlier this week. After being sent in for further testing, Trout was revealed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee Monday for the second time this season. The 32-year-old will miss the rest of the season but is otherwise without an official timetable for his recovery, though he should have enough time to get healthy for Opening Day in 2025. Trout will close the campaign having played in a career-low 29 games, and over the past four seasons he's seen action in just 41 percent of the Angels' 648 contests.

• Angels' Mike Trout: Suffers setback

  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Trout (knee) had a setback and is being re-evaluated Tuesday, according to Angels general manager Perry Minasian, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. When asked if Trout could return this season, Minasian said, "we'll see." Minasian declined to go into detail about the setback, but obviously there's no reason for Trout to try to rush back for the 46-60 Angels. Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak should continue to play regularly for the foreseeable future.
