Instead, Trout remains on the IL after his latest knee injury, one he suffered in an awkward collision during an April 30 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Although Trout will join the Angels for their upcoming three-game series against the San Diego Padres, that doesn’t mean we’ll see the future Hall of Famer in action this week.

Trout, who is out with a bruised left knee, says he’s been hitting and could start running early next week. He’s eligible to come off the injured list on Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is headed to the injured list again, but there appears to be some optimism he won't miss an extended stretch. Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters after Thursday's loss to the Detroit Tigers that the 33-year-old will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left knee.
