Mike Trout Unlikely To Return In 2021
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) is unlikely to return to the field this year, according to Angels manager Joe Maddon. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Maddon said that he would be "very surprised" if Trout made it back this year. The update isn't very surprising to hear, but it's the most clarity we've received on Trout in quite some time. The three-time MVP has been out since May 18 with a right calf strain. He played in just 36 games this year and slashed .333/.466/.624 with eight home runs, 18 RBI and 23 runs. His 1.090 OPS on the year was a career-high mark, just slightly higher than his previous career-high of 1.088 in 2018. Expect for him to be one of the first players off the board in all fantasy drafts once again next spring.
