Mike Trout is dealing with another injury scare.

After the game, a 9-3 Mariners victory, manager Ron Washington told reporters that Trout felt soreness in his left knee when he hit the bag and that he was removed from the game as a precaution. It wasn’t immediately clear when Trout is expected to return to the lineup.
Trout experienced his soreness while sprinting to first base after grounding out on this close play:
There was no immediate sign that Trout experienced any issues on the play. But the at-bat was his last of the day. He was replaced in the lineup by Jo Adell for his next scheduled at-bat.
Trout, 33, is in his 15th MLB season, all of which he has played with the Angels. A 12-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP, he’s one of the greatest hitters of his generation.

However, injuries have limited his availability and production over the previous five seasons. Since 2020, Trout has played in more than 82 games in a single season once (119 in 2022). He has been limited to 53 games or fewer in three of those seasons, including a 29-game outing in 2024.
Trout has struggled through 28 games in 2025. He had a .173/.261/.462 slash line in 104 at-bats prior to Wednesday. That said, his power remains intact when he does make good contact, as Trout has nine home runs and 18 RBI on the season.
