Mike Trout Throws on Tuesday, Feels Better
Mike Trout (finger) played catch on Tuesday and said his finger felt much better. It is still day-to-day when he will return to the field. He will serve as the designated hitter again on Tuesday, with Chris Young playing center field. As long as Trout is still in the lineup, his finger shouldn't be a major concern for fantasy owners.

Mike Trout Out Of Thursday's Lineup
Mike Trout (knee) is absent from Thursday's lineup in the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and is batting third, while catcher Logan O'Hoppe will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Travis d'Arnaud is catching and in the six-hole. The Angels pulled Trout as a precaution in Wednesday's game after he dealt with some soreness in his left knee, so it's not all that much of a surprise that he's not playing a day later. As far as we know, the 33-year-old All-Star isn't dealing with any structural damage and is just considered day-to-day for now. But given all of his injury issues in recent seasons, it wouldn't be a surprise if he finds his way to the injured list. Trout is hitting just .179 in 106 at-bats so far, but he has contributed nine homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored in 29 games played.

Mike Trout Pulled As Precaution Due To Knee Soreness
Mike Trout (knee) felt soreness in his left knee when he hit first base in Wednesday's 9-3 loss to the division-rival Seattle Mariners, and the Angels removed him as a precaution. He went 1-for-2 in the game before being replaced by Jo Adell in right field. Trout said his knee is already feeling better and has undergone some tests. The 33-year-old three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star said he will try to play in Thursday's series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. This is not what fantasy managers that selected Trout at a discount this year want to hear with the calendar about to flip to May, but as of right now, it sounds like he's just day-to-day. Trout had yet to miss a game this year, appearing in all 29 games (22 of them in right field). Last year, he made it just 29 games before suffering a torn meniscus that eventually required surgery. Trout started strong in 2025 but is now hitting .173 with nine homers and 18 RBI.

Mike Trout Blasts His Ninth Home Run Of The Season
Mike Trout saw a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever Cole Sands in the seventh inning and deposited it into the left field seats for his ninth of the season as the Angels lost to the Twins 11-4. He is now tied for the MLB lead in that department. Trout is enjoying a nice power surge to start the 2025 campaign, but is only batting .185 thus far. Look for Trout to find more consistency at the plate throughout the season, but his power production has been incredible for fantasy managers. He is now slashing .185/.280/.511 with the nine home runs, 14 runs scored, and 18 RBI to go with two stolen bases. Next up for Trout are a few right-handed Twins pitchers, Simeon Woods Richardson and Joe Ryan, to wrap their three-game series against the Twins.

Mike Trout Hits Two Home Runs In Saturday's Loss
Mike Trout connected on a pair of solo home runs to provide all the Angels' offense in their 3-2 loss to the Giants on Saturday night. Trout had solo blasts in the fourth and sixth innings off San Francisco's starter Landen Roupp, who was excellent aside from those two home runs. Trout's two taters bring him to eight home runs on the year, just one behind the MLB lead held by the Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom. Trout is hitting just .189 in his 20 games, but his eight home runs and two stolen bases have helped him keep his fantasy value. He has a .338 ISO and .333 wOBA along with a 50.9% hard-hit rate. His .133 BABIP and his batting average will likely trend up if he keeps hitting the ball so hard. Continue to play Trout for his power potential, and expect the batting average to come around as well.
