These injuries will cost the Angles big time, who were looking solid this season apart from the recent poor outings. The injury to Mike Trout is a setback for the fans and the player. Confirming the news, Trout shared an update about the future course of action.
Trout Answered the question about his return and said, ” Of course. I’ve had a lot of guys reach out that’s had the surgery before or had this injury before. I don’t know if I have to get surgery or not, but I know in the next couple of days, I guess. But it’s, some guys came back in four weeks, some guys take it a little longer just to see how my body heals.”

Angels weren’t doing anything anyhow.
This is around the time where they start to collapse— 8waves (@8waves_) July 5, 2023
Considering the Angels have been having a decent season before Trout and Ohtani got injured, the expectation was a place in the playoffs. But with these recent developments, the postseason seems a far-fetched dream for the Phil Nevin-led side.
