Mike Trout One Home Run Shy Of Career High
Mike Trout went 2-for-6 with one run scored in the Angels 8-7 loss in 11 innings to the Rangers. Trout is putting together another MVP-campaign and is already only one home run shy of his career-best of 41. Trout is currently slashing .321/.472/.696 in the month of August and has been lethal with runners in scoring position this season. In 83 at-bats, Trout is slashing .301/.488/.711 with eight home runs, 10 doubles and 54 runs batted in with RISP. Trout is the best offensive player in the American League right now and an elite fantasy option for the rest of the season.

Mike Trout Lands On The 10-Day Injured List With A Bone Bruise
Mike Trout (knee) landed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left knee bone bruise, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports. Trout was hustling out a ground ball on Wednesday and was removed from the game after seemingly coming up limping. After the game, Trout told reporters his knee was feeling better, but he was left out of the lineup Thursday and is now on the injured list. The Angels have downplayed the injury thus far, and manager Ron Washington added that the injury is not believed to be significant and that there is no structural damage. This is likely a proactive measure to sideline Trout for 10 days and have him return after the minimal stay on the injured list. However, no timeline has been announced yet. With Trout out of the lineup, Jorge Soler shifted to right field with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell occupying the other two outfield spots.

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.
