Shohei Ohtani reached base three times and drove in a run for the Angels, who won their first series since June 27-29 against the White Sox. In the series finale against the Royals, Janson Junk gave up four hits in five-plus innings for his first major league win. By July 18, the Angels moved him to the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 15, with left rib cage inflammation. The next day, Trout decided he didn’t want to risk hurting his back further and pulled out of the All-Star Game. Trout was in the starting lineup July 16, but right before the first pitch, he was scratched because his back issue flared up again. The slugger, after the Angels game against the Dodgers on July 15, was adamant he would return the next day. Through that week, there was cautious optimism, from Frostad, Nevin and Trout, that he would be back in the starting lineup any day. He ended up benching him for three games. Interim manager Phil Nevin initially intended to rest him for two games. Frostad explained Trout had been feeling soreness dating back to the team’s trip to Miami the week prior. Trout was first sidelined with back spasms and pulled from a game July 12. Not since 2014 has Angels slugger Mike Trout been so susceptible to the high fastball. 7, has a follow-up appointment with Watkins on Sunday.Īngels Angels’ Mike Trout susceptible again to high fastballs. “He’s a little more upbeat today and I think he’s starting to feel like he’s getting the benefits ,” Frostad said, “but long term, we do have to look at this as something that he has to manage, not just through the rest of this season, but through the rest of his career.” There is still no timeline for his return, but the team is concerned about the issue’s long-term effect. “He’s going through a good core stability program and doing a lot of cardio work. “He just continues to go through his rehab progression right now. It could take two weeks to fully take effect, which could also mean another week before he’s able to start swinging a bat, according to Frostad. Trout received a cortisone injection into the joint, located in the thoracic section of his spine, last Thursday. Trout said he’ll need “to stay on top of it.” “And for it to happen in a baseball player,” Frostad said, “we just have to take into consideration what he puts himself through with hitting, swinging on a daily basis, just getting prepared, and then also playing in the outfield.” Robert Watkins, the spinal surgeon who checked on Trout, has not seen the injury very much, Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad told reporters Wednesday. The condition, as sports injuries go, isn’t common. “I appreciate all the prayer requests, but my career isn’t over.”
“I think it’s a little exaggeration,” he continued, explaining that his phone was blowing up with people concerned about whether he could play again. “I feel really good today.”Īsked if he would play again this season, Trout said, “Of course. “Every day it’s improving,” he told reporters in Kansas City, Mo., after the Angels’ 4-0 win against the Royals. While Trout still isn’t sure how he got it, he isn’t worried. The source of Angels star Mike Trout’s back injury has a more specific name: costovertebral dysfunction, the team said Wednesday.
