Angels’ Mike Trout Says He’s ‘Excited’ About Progress From Knee Injury
- Mike Trout, an 11-time All-Star and three-time MVP with the Los Angeles Angels, has been out of action since May 1, 2025, due to a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered while attempting to reach first base during a game versus the Seattle Mariners at the end of April.
- Trout's injury, which occurred while attempting to beat out an infield single, continues a trend of him missing large portions of the last four seasons due to different injuries.
- Currently, Trout is engaging in hitting, playing catch, and running at about 50% intensity at a West Sacramento facility, with plans to increase running intensity later in the week.
- Trout said he does not have a firm return date and that "the last remaining hurdle" is running the bases, while manager Ron Washington stated the team is "holding Mike back until we’ve checked every box."
- Trout's progress suggests he is moving closer to playing, but his history of setbacks after nearing returns implies that the Angels remain cautious about his full recovery and timing.
