Trout is considered day-to-day, with the Angels noting he “will continue to be evaluated to determine his readiness to play.” Reading between the lines, it doesn’t make sense for Trout to travel to Texas for the three-game series if he’s not expected to play. The team returns home Thursday for an eight-game homestand.
The slugger is off to a great start, with five home runs and a 1.529 OPS in 49 plate appearances.
