SACRAMENTO\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Angels outfielder Mike Trout<\/a> is back on the injured list.<\/p>\n

The team announced before Thursday night\u2019s 5-0 loss to the Athletics<\/a> that the 11-time All-Star was put on the 10-day IL because of a right hamstring strain. The Angels<\/a> recalled infielder Christian Moore from triple-A Salt Lake among a flurry of moves.<\/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 \u2014 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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

In Thursday\u2019s game, Gage Jump gave up one hit over seven innings, and Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom hit back-to-back homers in a five-run first for the Athletics.<\/p>\n

The first six A\u2019s batters got hits off Johnson, who was recalled before the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Angels outfielder Mike Trout is back on the injured list.
