Mike Trout May Not Return to the Angels This Season

In the latest in baseball, it looks like Mike Trout may not return to the Angels for the rest of the season. The Los Angeles Angels’ outfielder, Trout has not been able to return to join his club this season since May 17 due to a strained calf muscle. Many who are looking at baseball picks for the Angels should be keeping an eye out on injury updates. But the way things are going, it seems that Trout will be out for this season.

Originally, Trout’s schedule has him out for around six to eight weeks. However, his recover is not coming along as expected, and this puts him out for now. There are only 18 games left on the schedule for the Angels, and Trout will not be in any of them.

Mike Trout Not Returning

Joe Maddon, manager for the Angels, said that it is highly possible that Trout not return this year. This was also said by the Angels’ General Manager, Perry Minasian, the previous week. It is quite uncommon, as this is the worst calf injury in the last 6 years as seen in the league. In fact, no player has missed that much time away from the game due to a calf injury.

Since the Angels will be ending their regular season by October 3, it is highly improbable that Trout will be returning before then. This means that Trout will only have played 36 games this year. Mike Trout has batted .333/.466/.624 with 195 OPS+. He also has 8 home runs and two stolen bases on two attempts. What was initially a good campaign to get a fourth American League MVP Award leads to a long injury taking him out for the rest of the season.
