Angels' Mike Trout: Open to moving from center field
Rotowire
Trout (knee) said Monday that he is open to moving to a corner outfield spot or serving as a designated hitter in 2025, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Trout tore the meniscus in his left knee for the second time this season in late July, and he underwent surgery to repair the injury Aug. 9. Trout has progressed through his recovery program to do agility drills, and he revealed Monday that he has been cleared to swing a bat. He expects to have a normal offseason and appears to be considering a position shift in 2025 to reduce the risk of injury to his left knee.
Angels' Mike Trout: Shifted to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Trout (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Ryan Miller. Trout is out for the season after needing a second surgery on his left knee earlier this month to repair a torn meniscus.
Trout underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Trout only managed one at-bat during his rehab assignment before suffering what we now know is a torn left meniscus. The injury officially ended his 2024 season, but following Wednesday's successful surgery it seems as though the 32-year-old will be recovered in time for the start of the 2025 campaign. In the 29 games Trout played this year, he slashed .220/.325/.541 with 10 homers, 17 runs, 14 RBI and six stolen bases.
