'Weird Feeling': Trout exits with knee pain and looks forward to returning to the Tigers on Thursday

Head coach Ron Washington's line-up adjustments on Monday's rest day began to show results, but in today's 9-3 loss to the Mariners to swallow a five-game losing streak, the Angels' positive signals on both ends of the floor were overshadowed by Mike Trout's injury and nightmarish seven innings.

The Angels scored their first inning score since April 17 and 10 hits for the first time since April 10. The restructured line contributed in the upper and lower half of the line, and Tyler Anderson added a quality starter. But those bright spots gave way to Trout's injury, which he had surgery on his left knee as he sprinted to first base.

Trout's first two dozen hit 1 hit. In the third inning, he hit a 94.2mph sinking ball from Emerson Hancock and rolled the ball in reverse and rushed to first base at the fastest sprint speed of the season at 29.7 feet per second, with a slight stretch of his left knee in the process. He continued to guard the right field in the third inning, but was replaced by Jo Adell when it was his turn to play in the fourth inning.

After the game, Trout said he felt okay when he returned to the rest area after running the bases, but started to feel "weird" when the right fielder was guarding. "The discomfort is heightened when jogging in the outfield," Trout said, "and it has to be handled with care." Washington added: "It is better to be overly cautious than to ignore it, so replace him." "

After leaving the venue, a doctor's examination and basic examination showed no structural damage. Treated with ice and pulsed electromagnetic fields, Trout said he felt better by the end of the race: "It was just a weird feeling, but after the treatment, it was relieved, and hopefully it was just a loosening of the scar tissue." For now, he's aiming to return for Thursday's series opener against the Tigers.

The three-time MVP hit 0.173/0.261/0.462 in the third round this season, and tied for fourth in the major leagues with 9 hits. The injury alert couldn't have come at a better time – Trout has only played more than 100 games once in the past four seasons. At this time last year (April 24), he was reimbursed early for a torn meniscus in his left knee; On July 4, 2023, he entered the list of wounded soldiers due to a hamate fracture, and returned with only one game and retired again; He played just 36 games in 2021 with a calf strain.

Adel hit the last generation in the fourth inning, and the ball ended the offense. The Angels didn't take the spot again until the seventh inning — Nolan Schanuel sent a no-one hit with Adel to form a no-one or second baseman, but Jorge Soler rolled the ball to the ground, Logan O'Hoppe flew high and Luis Rengifo rolled the ball and couldn't make the mark.

The Mariners started the counterattack with two infield hits in the seventh inning, and scored six points on 11 hits in a single game to defeat Reid Detmers and Ryan Johnson. The Angels scored 12 2s and 9 bases in the game, scoring ≤ 5 points in 17 consecutive games, the longest since June 22 to July 12, 2022.

"We couldn't get the ball out of the infield when the seven-inning opportunity came," Washington concluded, "and the opponent took every opportunity — that's where the gap is." "
