The injury occurred while trying to reach first base after a ground ball.\n\n\n<p>Since then, Trout has been gradually increasing his baseball-related activities, including running bases and facing a minor league pitcher at Angel Stadium earlier this week. A rehabilitation assignment was not deemed necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Angels had a mixed performance in the 26 games without Trout, highlighting an eight-game winning streak followed by a five-game losing streak. Overall, their offense ranks 11th in runs per game, 17th in OPS, and last in the walk\/strikeout ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trout, a three-time Most Valuable Player and the most dominant player of the 2010s, only participated in 41% of the Angels&#8217; games between 2021 and 2024. His start in 2025 was not as expected, with nine home runs in 29 games, but with a batting average of .179\/.264\/.462.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make room on the active roster for Trout, Matthew Lugo was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Trout&#8217;s return to right field, a position he moved to during spring training after a whole career in center, Jorge Soler will likely return to being the full-time designated hitter. Jo Adell and the newly acquired Chris Taylor are the main options for center field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Trout Returns to Action with the Angels The Los Angeles Angels will activate their star, outfielder Mike Trout, before Friday&#8217;s game against the Cleveland Guardians, marking the start of a six-game road trip.
