Angels' Mike Trout Optimistic He will not miss the extended time with injury

Anaheim, California – Mike Trout, on the injured list after he had maintained a bone blue in his surgically repaired left knee, said on Friday that he feels “much better” and hopes to return to the position of Thelos Angeles as soon as is entitled.

Trout had two operations last year to repair two separate meniscal cracks in his left knee, and said he felt good until the third inning of the game on Wednesday when the angel's star outfield fell with his left foot towards the first basis to feel an infield single and feel uncomfortable.

Trout later left an inning and underwent another assessment when the team returned to South California the following day. The imaging showed no structural damage.

“I shaved two meniscus with the doctors and I just hit it perfectly on my pocket,” said Trout. “Both bones met each other and I injured both of us.”

Trout, who wore a sleeve on the left leg, was said that he should stay away from his legs “a few days”, then slowly ramp. When asked if he believes that after the 10-day minimum he can return on the IL, Trout said: “Yes, it is certainly possible.”

Regardless of his length of stay, the 2025 season will mark the fifth year in a row with trout on the IL. Most of these stations were defined by cases in which he hoped to return much earlier than in the end. In 2021, a torn calf muscle kept him away for the rest of the year in mid -May. In 2023 he missed a broken bone on the wrist for seven weeks, came back on August 22nd for a game and missed the rest of the season.

The 2024 campaign was probably the most confusing of all. Trout suffered an initial meniscus tear on April 29, four days later operated on and started a rehab task 11 weeks later. After he was exit after a plate on July 23 and an MRI, from which he said she had come back cleanly. Then the trout began to rise again, felt constantly discovered and underwent another MRI who showed an additional tear what the operation applied for at the end of the season.

From 2021 to 2024, Trout-The three times MVP, 11 times all-star and nine-time Silver Slugger, who was the best player of the Major League baseball in the 2010s was only 41% of the Angels games.

This time, however, Trout said that he was “not worried at all” that he will be on the road for a longer distance.

“No structural damage,” said Trout when he was asked why he believes that his optimism is validated this time, “and what progress I have made from yesterday.”

Trout scored nine times in his first 29 games in 2025, but he also collected 36 strikeouts and only fought .179. His season is a embodiment of the angels' entire offense. The Angels, Tarik Skubal, against the reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, had the second highest strike rates in the majors and the lowest walk rate. Your .662 OPS took 24th place.

While Trout goes out, Angels Jorge Soler, Jo Adell and Gustavo Campero will use in the right field. Trout also took seven starts at the defined Schlagmann this year. The angels have not determined whether he has to do this more often when returning.

“We will make this decision when we sit down and speak to him and have it included in this decision,” Angel's manager Ron Washington said. “We will not only make this decision. We will include Mike. We just have to see when he will come back. If this is the case for some reason, he will get the DH slot. I will not deny it to him.”

Trout seemed to circling the injury to a freak game and not the result of a chronic problem that he has to constantly monitor. But the operations of the last year have the meniscus of the trout up to the point where there is far less a shock absorber between its two primary knee, which could make it more susceptible to rejoice in the future.

“I will just try not to fall into my pockets, I think,” said Trout. “Yes, obviously I have to be a little careful, they don't do anything crazy. When they talk to the doctors, they said as soon as it heals completely, I will go well.”
