Angels' Mike Trout: Goes deep for third time in spring
Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 5-4 exhibition win against the Dodgers.Trout bashed a ball to left-center field in the sixth inning for his third homer of the spring. The veteran outfielder has hit the ball well during the exhibition slate, slashing .297/.469/.595 over 49 plate appearances. Most importantly, Trout appears healthy after playing in only 29 games last season due to a knee injury. He's moving to right field this season in an attempt to help him avoid getting hurt, and if Trout does manage to stay relatively injury-free this year, he could be a steal for fantasy managers who have invested in him despite the fact he has logged over 100 games just once since 2019.

Angels' Mike Trout: Smacks second spring homer
Mike Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Cactus League loss to the Dodgers.The 33-year-old's second long ball of the spring was an impressive opposite-field shot off right-hander Landon Knack. Injuries have kept Trout under 83 games in three of the past four seasons, and the Los Angeles Angels will move him to right field in 2025 in an attempt to keep him healthy. Trout recently told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that despite the health woes, he still feels like he's "the best player on the field" when he's out there.

Angels' Mike Trout: Blasts spring homer
Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a Cactus League contest against Cincinnati.Trout batted leadoff as the Los Angeles Angels' designated hitter and put his team on the board with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. Injuries limited the future Hall of Famer to a career-low 126 plate appearances last season, but he appears healthy this spring and has reached base in three of his five plate appearances so far. A healthy Trout would go a long way toward the Angels improving upon the 99-loss campaign they endured last year.

Angels' Mike Trout: Spring debut coming Monday
Mike Trout (knee) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut Monday versus the Giants, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington didn't reveal whether Trout would make his first start of the spring at designated hitter or if he'll be used in right field, the position that he's expected to play on a regular basis in 2025 after he had exclusively played in center field over the past decade. The Angels' decision to shift Trout to a corner spot is borne out of an effort to preserve his health, after he played 82 games or fewer in three of the past four seasons. Trout was limited to a career-low 29 games in 2024 after he required a pair of surgeries to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, with the most recent procedure taking place Aug. 7. While the 33-year-old now appears to be fully healthy, his poor medical record over the past few seasons means that fantasy managers will have to be willing to accept a high level of risk in investing in the three-time American League MVP. Additionally, Trout's move to the corner outfield could hint that he'll be less aggressive on the basepaths to guard against a potential injury.

Angels' Mike Trout: Moving to right field
Mike Trout (knee) will move to right field this season in an effort to preserve his health, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.The decision was made during a meeting Trout had with Los Angeles Angels coaches Sunday. Trout has some limited experience playing the outfield corners, but he has been a center fielder exclusively since 2014. The 33-year-old has averaged just 66.5 games played per season over the last few years and played only 29 contests in 2024 due to knee problems. With Trout shifting over to right field, Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak will be in the mix to handle center field for the Angels.

Angels' Mike Trout: Working on plan to stay healthy
Mike Trout (knee) will meet with Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington and GM Perry Minasian to discuss ways to maintain the star outfielder's health, including by having him log more time in the corner outfield and at DH, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.Trout has had trouble staying healthy in recent campaigns, as he's played in over 82 games just once since 2019. Last year, he tore the meniscus in his left knee in late April, and then suffered the same injury while attempting to rehab in the minors. The knee issues limited Trout to 29 games last year, though he was productive before getting hurt, slamming 10 home runs and stealing six bases. Trout's work on defense has been limited exclusively to center field since 2014, but he played some in both left field and right field earlier in his career, and it appears he'll log time in those corner outfield spots -- as well as at DH -- during the coming campaign as the Angels look to keep arguably their most important hitter healthy.

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.

Angels' Mike Trout: Surgery successful
Mike 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
Mike 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 Los Angeles Angels' 648 contests.
