Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is slashing only .179/.288/.393 over his last 15 games heading into Friday night's action. He has not hit a home run since August 17 but this weekend could be a turn for the better. Trout has excelled hitting at home this season, slashing .325/.378/.725 with six extra-base hits and nine runs batted in through only 10 games. A player of Trout's caliber won't be held down for too long and this weekend could be an intriguing time to deploy Trout. He will play the Mariners and Trout is 8-for-22 (.363) with one double, three home runs and four runs batted in through five games against them this season.--Joey C - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has progressed to jogging on the field and did so before Monday's series opener in Sacramento against the division-rival Athletics, according to MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. Trout has also hit off a batting machine and has been running on an anti-gravity treadmill as he recovers from a setback to his surgically repaired knee. The 33-year-old three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star is still without a timetable to return from the 10-day injured list, but he's making good progress and presumably could rejoin the major-league lineup by the end of May, barring a setback. Trout has been unable to stay healthy the last couple years and is no longer the stud outfielder he once was -- he was hitting .179 in his first 106 at-bats before getting hurt -- but he still belongs on fantasy rosters in all leagues as he sells out for power at the plate.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has begun hitting off a batting machine. He is also throwing and doing agility work on the field while running on an Alter-G treadmill at 75 percent of his body weight. Trout appears to be making good progress, but the Angels are surely going to be extra cautious with the three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star who had season-ending surgery on the same knee a year ago. The 33-year-old veteran doesn't have a specific timetable for a return, and in a best-case scenario the Angels and fantasy managers will get him back at the end of May. Fantasy managers shouldn't be dropping Trout at this point, but the 15-year veteran is now very injury-prone and appears to be sacrificing contact for power later in his career. He had nine homers in his first 29 games but was hitting just .179 (19-for-106).--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) did some running on an Alter-G, zero-gravity treadmill on Monday at Petco Park before the team's series opener against the San Diego Padres. If everything goes well, manager Ron Washington said the team will determine Trout's next steps. There is no timetable for the 33-year-old's return from the 10-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his surgically-repaired left knee, but it's a good sign that he is running and also doing some other baseball activities. We should know more soon on perhaps how far away the 11-time All-Star and three-time MVP is to potentially going on a minor-league rehab assignment. Barring a setback, Trout could certainly be back before the end of May. The former first-rounder was hitting just .179 (19-for-106) before his injury, but with nine home runs in 29 games. Trout is now very fragile, but he should still be rostered in all fantasy formats.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) appears to be progressing from a bone bruise that landed him on the injured list roughly a week ago. The superstar outfielder has been reportedly swinging the bat without any issues. The organization is hopeful that Trout can begin running next week. It sounds like Trout no longer has pain in his knee, which is great news. There is a chance that Trout could be available to return once eligible, but the Angels might be cautious with the oft-injured outfielder. For now, fantasy managers can continue to stash Trout on the IL and hope he returns within the next few weeks.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
