WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is back on the injured list.<\/p>\n
The team announced before Thursday night’s game against the Athletics that the 11-time All-Star was placed on the 10-day IL due to a right hamstring strain. The Angels recalled infielder Christian Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake among a flurry of moves.<\/p>\n
Trout told MLB.com that the injury occurred when he was running to first base Wednesday in the Angels’ 8-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom last night to today, it\u2019s a night-and-day difference, so that\u2019s positive for me,\u201d Trout told MLB.com. \u201cI was a little worried last night, but had a plane ride and just sitting down after playing, so that kind of came into effect. But feels way better today, so I\u2019m not overly concerned about it. But I\u2019m going to do everything I can in that training room and the weight room to get back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Injuries have hindered Trout for much of this decade. Since winning his third AL MVP award in 2019, Trout has played more than 82 games in a season just twice \u2013 119 in 2022 and 130 in 2025.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old Trout had played in 74 of 75 games this year in a resurgent season. He’s batting .234 with an .866 OPS, 17 homers, 36 RBIs and seven steals.<\/p>\n
He entered Thursday with an AL-leading 54 runs, a total that was tied for second in the majors behind Washington\u2019s James Wood. Trout’s 66 walks also ranked second in the big leagues, behind the Athletics\u2019 Nick Kurtz.<\/p>\n
Trout had the second-highest vote count of any AL outfielder in the All-Star Game balloting totals that were released this week. He grew up near Philadelphia, where this year\u2019s All-Star Game will take place next month.<\/p>\n
The injury to Trout created an opportunity for Moore, who was hitting .333 with a .468 on-base percentage, nine homers, 45 RBIs and 10 steals in 51 games at Salt Lake while playing second base, third base and the outfield.<\/p>\n
Moore hit .198 with a .284 on-base percentage, seven homers, 16 RBIs and three steals in 53 games with the Angels last season.<\/p>\n
In other moves, the Angels recalled right-hander Ryan Johnson from Double-A Rocket City, released left-hander Drew Pomeranz and optioned right-hander Brett Kerry and catcher Logan Porter to Salt Lake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.
