Another Setback For Mike Trout
4 months agoLos Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said that outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has had another setback with his surgically repaired knee and is being re-evaluated on Tuesday. Trout was hoping to return in late July after having surgery to fix the meniscus in his knee earlier this season, but he returned to LA to have an MRI exam last week after taking just one at-bat with Triple-A Salt Lake on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old apparently still isn't feeling great, and at this point with the Angels firmly out of contention, it's fair to wonder if the 11-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer will return this year at all. Trout is now in the midst of a second straight lost season due to injury and will lose even more fantasy value going into 2025, regardless of whether he returns to close out this season. Mickey Moniak should continue to play regularly in center field for the Halos with Trout sidelined.
