Angels are putting Veteran Star Mike Trout On the injured roster, Ron Washington told reporters (including athletes’ Sam Blum) after tonight’s game against the Tigers. Trout is bruising bones on the left knee, although Washington stresses that it doesn’t consider the injury “Too serious” And the 33-year-old has no structural damage to his knee. As ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez pointed out, the trout suffered multiple twists in different parts of his left knee last year; this required two separate surgical procedures. That is his knee that is currently suffering from bone bruises.
While Angel Brass doesn’t think the trout’s disease is at least encouraging, it’s hard to expect fans to be happy given the trout’s long history of injury. Due to the meniscus surgery mentioned above, the trout only participated in 29 games last year and missed 36 games in the 2021 season due to calf strains. He played only 82 games in 2023 due to Hamate’s fracture, and the closest decade to his 2022 campaign, where he competed in 119 games. However, even that year, he was still eliminated for a long time due to back problems.
It was a series of various injuries that have spanned fifty years now, lacking time on the field, and because of the highest talent of the game is almost without any challenges, his pedestal beats his pedestal in the game. The 11th All-Star and 3-time AL MVP numbers speak for themselves, as his career is .297/.408/.579 batsman, with 387 home runs, 214 stolen bases, 85.8 Bwar and 85.7 FWAR, in his 15-year major league career. This year, the Angels decided to remove the trout from his local central fields and the right areas in hopes of helping him stay fresh and avoid injuries. Despite this change, Trout’s first trip to the injury list this year has only 29 games, exactly the same number he ended at the 2024 season.
Trout has maintained superstar production over the past few years, even in the season of injury abbreviation. From 2021 to 2024, he did cut the incredible .276/.376/.575 (160 WRC+) and accumulated 12 FWARs in those 266 games. However, this year is not the case. On 121 trips to the plate, the Trout actually slightly below the league average at 96 WRC+. Despite his catch of nine home runs and walking with a 9.9% cut (if it is reduced), the Trout strikeout rate is as high as 29.8%, a shockingly low .159 BABIP brings him to a .187 hit with a .264. If he was going to play a full season, the Trout certainly wouldn’t keep the incredibly low Babip and would enjoy enough positive return to make it an above average overall batsman, but it’s a reasonable career to be able to keep the superstar abilities even if he could stay on the court.
Of course, all of this will be largely speculative until the trout returns to the scene for a long time. While the club said the bone bruises seemed to indicate that he would be able to come back relatively quickly, it was a very different diagnosis in terms of schedule. On the more optimistic side, Cody Bellinger He missed about a month when he suffered bone bruises with the Cubs in 2023. about Anthony Rendon In 2023 and Kyle Tucker Last season.
Rendon missed the remainder of the season with a foul from his left leg on July 4 two years ago, and although Rendon himself told reporters, the Angels called it a skeletal bruise, he was actually diagnosed with a tibia fracture. A similar situation occurred last year between Tucker and the Astros elsewhere in the West of AL, where Tucker missed more than three months due to Houston’s initially called bone bruises, but was later found to be a tiny tibial crack. It should be noted that the smaller fractures faced by Renton and Tucker are no different from bone bruises in terms of prescribed treatments, making the distinction in some ways irrelevant.
Even so, some players can recover from bone bruises in just one month, while others may miss half a season or more due to similar issues, highlighting the uncertainty facing trout and angels now. Given this uncertainty and the long injury history of veterans, it seems unrealistic to expect a trout return schedule, but it is fair to have a large absence at this point.
