Trout went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
Trout has already eclipsed his number of at-bats from last season in an injury-riddled campaign and hit his 11th home run of 2025 on Saturday. His season at the plate has not lived up to his usual high standards, as the 33-year-old is slashing just .226/.313/.465 through 179 plate appearances. Still, Trout's .777 OPS is on track to be the worst since his rookie season but is still comfortably above the MLB average.

Angels' Mike Trout: Could return to outfield soon
Rotowire
Trout took part in some outfield drills Friday, and Angels manager Ron Washington said he expects Trout to play right field in a game soon, Michael Huntley of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury May 30, Trout has been limited to DH duties for the Angels. Friday marked the first time the slugger has performed outfield drills since that IL stint, and he's expected to do more drills Saturday. Trout shifted over to right field at the beginning of the season after spending most of his career in center, and it appears RF will remain his position when he's ready to play defense again. Trout went 0-for-4 as the DH in Friday's win over Seattle, his first game without a hit since he returned from the knee injury.

Angels' Mike Trout: Trio of hits and RBI in win
Rotowire
Trout went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.
Trout smoked his 10th home run of the season, a 454-foot bomb, as part of the Angels' six-run first inning. He added two more hits to cap a vintage performance and his second three-hit game in his last three contests. The 33-year-old has now recorded a hit in six straight contests, going 10-for-20 over that stretch with five RBI.

Angels' Mike Trout: Getting rest after recent IL return
Rotowire
Trout is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Trout will get a pre-planned day off after going 4-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run in two games since being activated from the injured list Friday. Though Trout has experienced no setbacks with his knee, manager Ron Washington noted that the 33-year-old isn't yet ready to play right field and will continue to be deployed as the Angels' designated hitter for the remainder of their current road trip, which ends Wednesday in Boston. Trout is expected to resume outfield workouts when the Angels return to Anaheim, but it's unclear how soon he might be ready to play defense.

Angels' Mike Trout: Logs three hits Saturday
Rotowire
Trout went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI double in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Cleveland.
Trout extended the Angels' lead to three runs in the fifth inning, when his double to left field brought home Yoan Moncada. It was Trout's second game back from a four-week absence due to a knee injury and his first RBI since April 25 against the Twins.
Trout (knee) was officially reinstated from the injured list prior to Friday's game against the Guardians.
Trout missed nearly all of May with the knee injury, but he'll be back in the lineup for the weekend series in Cleveland. Trout is batting fifth and will be limited to designated hitter initially after not going on a rehab assignment.

Angels' Mike Trout: Raps one hit in return
Rotowire
Trout went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in a 4-1 win against Cleveland on Friday.
Though Trout had a quiet performance in the victory, the big news is that he got through the game without issues after missing over four weeks due to a knee injury. The star slugger got a chance to run the bases after singling in his second at-bat, though he didn't play the field, instead logging the start as the team's DH. Trout may remain in that role for the short term since he didn't embark upon a rehab assignment prior to his return.
The Angels plan to activate Trout (knee) from the injured list Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Trout has been sidelined since May 1 and was able to clear the final hurdle in his recovery when he ran the bases earlier in the week. He got off to a slow start by hitting just .179 across his first 121 plate appearances this season, but Trout will provide a significant boost to both the Angels and fantasy lineups.
Trout (knee) is expected to resume running the bases at some point during the Angels' three-game series versus the Yankees that begins Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Since being placed on the injured list May 2 due to a bone bruise in his left knee, Trout has been able to hit off a pitching machine, play catch and take part in agility drills, but being able to run the bases without discomfort is considered the final step in the recovery process before he's ready for game action. The Angels will likely want to see Trout run the bases more than once before activating him from the injured list, so he shouldn't be expected to return to the big-league lineup until next weekend's series versus the Athletics at the soonest. Before he was shut down earlier this month, Trout was hitting a career-worst .179 with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate but slugged nine home runs and stole two bases in 29 games on the season.
Trout (knee) said he had no soreness after jogging on the field Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Monday's jogging session was a big test for Trout, as it was the first time he has jogged on the field since he landed on the injured list May 2 due to a bone bruise in his left knee. The star outfielder was upbeat about his progress Tuesday, saying, "I'm really excited with where I'm at right now. We're upping the intensity and there's no soreness." Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports that Trout ran again Wednesday at 80 percent intensity (he was at 50-to-60 percent Monday), though he hasn't yet cleared his next hurdle -- running the bases. However, Trout has been able to play catch and hit in the cages with "no pain, no issues," so a return from the injured list may not be far away. Bollinger indicates that Trout may not need a minor-league rehab stint before being activated and suggests that the three-time AL MVP could be back in action before the end of the month, though there's no definite timeline for his return yet.
