Mike Trout

LAA Center Fielder #27

Player Stats

Mike Trout was voted as a starting outfielder for the American League All-Star team.

Trout is currently on the injured list, but is expected to be activated prior to the event in Philadelphia; a city that fans know holds a special place in the 34-year-old’s heart. Aaron Judge was also voted a starter, but won’t be available due to his injury, with Byron Buxton the third outfielder. They’ll be joined by 3B Junior Caminero, SS Bobby Witt Jr., 2B Ernie Clement, 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., DH Yordan Alvarez and Shea Langeliers the starting catcher.

Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base against the Rangers on Saturday.

Trout went 7-for-15 in a four-game series with the Rangers earlier this month. Since then and entering play Saturday, he was mired in a 3-for-26 (.115) slump with no home runs and no RBI over his last seven games. Trout broke out of it with two hits including an RBI single in the first inning. He’s hitting .239 with an .813 OPS and 46 RBI this year.

Mike Trout had a second straight three-hit game Thursday against the Rangers.

Trout has raised his average 10 points with six singles the last two nights. It’s the first time since 2018 that he’s had back-to-back three-hit games and the second time ever that he’s had back-to-back games with three singles; the only other time that happened was as a rookie on June 8-9, 2012.

LAA Center Fielder #27

Mike Trout went 3-for-5 and drove in two runs in the Angels’ 5-2 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

All three hits for Trout were singles up the middle. The future Hall of Famer has now driven in 44 runs, which says more about the hitters that bat behind Trout than anything else. It’s his first multi-hit game in August, and hopefully for fantasy managers/people who like watching historic baseball players succeed, not the last.

Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with three walks and a solo home run against the Rangers on Monday.

Trout’s home run was his 20th of the season. He hit a solo shot off MacKenzie Gore in the first inning. Trout has two home runs in his last four games. Maybe he’ll continue to pop home runs down the stretch of the season, but with his average at .237 with 42 RBI and eight steals, it’s fair to question Trout’s fantasy profile at this point in his career.

Mike Trout went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as the Angels fell to the Marlins 12-3 on Sunday.

Trout got off to a strong start, but March and April have been his best months by far. Things have only slipped further in August, with his strikeout rate well north of 40 percent in a small sample. Worse, the Angels’ lineup doesn’t surround him with much help, limiting his opportunities for counting stats. He has 19 homers this season but only 41 RBI. He stole five bases through April but has just three since. Trout is talented enough to go on a heater down the stretch, but serious environmental concerns cap his upside.

Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a run scores in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Trout also drew a walk, and he came around to score a run on a double by Jorge Soler. The future Hall of Famer is now hitting .245/.392/.456 on the season. It’d be wonderful if he played on a team that was even kind of relevant, but it’s nice to see Trout playing quality baseball even if it’s for a franchise that is going nowhere.

LAA Center Fielder #27

Mike Trout went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored Sunday in the Angels’ 4-3 win over the Giants.

It was quite the unusual day for Trout, who didn’t have anything close to a hard-hit ball. His exit velocities on a liner, a grounder and two shallow flies were 82, 64, 78 and 73 mph, but that was good enough for his first four-hit game since Apr. 26, 2021, when he went 4-for-5 against the Rangers. He last went 4-for-4 on Aug. 15, 2019 against the White Sox. The performance raised his average from .237 to .247, which is the highest he’s been since mid-May.

In his first Midsummer Classic appearance since 2019, Mike Trout will lead off for the American League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game.

The lineup: CF Trout, DH Yordan Alvarez, C Shea Langeliers, 3B Junior Caminero, SS Bobby Witt Jr., RF Cody Bellinger, 1B Ben Rice, LF Riley Greene and 2B Ernie Clement. Langeliers’ placement is odd, given that he’s hitting .186/.261/.362 since May 15, but then he did go 6-for-12 with three homers in his one series against the Blue Jays this year. That’s probably what manager John Schneider remembers.

Mike Trout is in center field and hitting second on Saturday against the Twins.

Trout has gone 1-for-9 with a home run and three RBI in a pair of games since returning from the injured list earlier this week. He sat out Friday’s series opener in Minnesota. The 34-year-old generational talent will make an appearance in next week’s All-Star Game in his hometown of Philadelphia, which is a fun storyline heading into the Midsummer Classic. It’s his first appearance in the game itself since 2019.

Mike Trout is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s tilt against the Twins.

Trout started each of the first two games since returning from the injured list on Wednesday, so the Angels will give him a breather on Friday night as they ease him back into a full-time workload. Expect him to start the remaining two games over the weekend. Josh Lowe will slide over and cover center field on Friday night while Wade Meckler starts in left field and will bat eighth against Twins’ right-hander Zebby Matthews.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that he expects Ryan Weathers to return in some capacity before the 2026 season is through.

That suggests that the Yankees could envision him returning in a bullpen role. He’ll be shut down from throwing for the next two-to-four weeks before starting to ramp back up after landing on the injured list with a left forearm flexor strain on Sunday.

Ezequiel Tovar (illness) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup on Sunday.

Tovar was removed from Friday night’s contest due to illness and then sat out on Saturday as he was still feeling under the weather. While his health has improved, his offensive game hasn’t, as he’s slashing a cringe-inducing .204/.251/.326 with just nine homers and 38 RBI on the season.

Rockies activated INF/OF Tyler Freeman from the 10-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Freeman had already been stationed at Triple-A Albuquerque on a minor league rehab assignment, and he’ll stay there for a bit longer until a spot opens up on the Rockies’ bench. The 27-year-old has hit just .247/.317/.314 with three homers, 23 RBI and six stolen bases in 288 plate appearances with the Rockies on the season.

Rockies recalled INF Ryan Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque.

With Kyle Karros (concussion) landing on the injured list on Sunday, Ritter will return to add depth to the Rockies’ infield. The 25-year-old is just 1-for-7 (.143) in his limited action with the big league club this season and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Rockies placed INF Kyle Karros on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Karros had just returned from the concussion injured list on Friday, but he’s apparently still feeling the after-effects and will need to make his way through the concussion protocol once again before returning. Ryan Ritter was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Tigers optioned LHP Enmanuel De Jesus to Triple-A Toledo.

The 29-year-old southpaw has done a nice job in 30 appearances with the Tigers this season, compiling a 3.83 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 39/15 K/BB ratio over 42 1/3 innings. Unfortunately, he has logged a heavy workload recently and the Tigers needed to add a fresh arm for a bullpen game on Sunday. De Jesus should get another chance at the MLB level in relatively short order.

Tigers selected the contract of LHP Andrew Sears from Triple-A Toledo.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 23-year-old southpaw who was a 10th round selection by the Tigers from the 2023 draft. He has done an exceptional job across four minor league levels this season, registering a 2.16 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 67/20 K/BB ratio over 58 1/3 innings. He’s expected to serve in a bulk role against the Royals on Sunday.

Outman had been on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo, but he’ll get the boot from the club’s 40-man roster as they needed the space for Andrew Sears on Sunday. With the emergence of Brett Callahan, his spot on the MLB roster became expendable.

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Rockies.

The 33-year-old superstar will get a rare day off in this one, which is very unfortunate for fantasy managers as they’re at Coors Field and taking on right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Expect to see him off the bench if needed on Sunday. Angel Genao will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Guardians.
