Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout’s injury

In the 5th Inning against the Texas Rangers, Mike Trout got hit by an 81mph slider by pitcher Spencer Patton. He immediately dropped his bat, as it was imminent that he was in serious pain. It hit him near his wrist area as he left the field with the medical staff and trainers.

Mike Trout had to conduct some X-rays and medical tests first. The X-ray reports came after a while and they were negative. This means that Trout is now day-to-day. Day-to-day means that there is no specific date when injured players will return.

Mike Trout gave an update on how did the hit take place. Trout said, “It’s just one of those things, I guess. I couldn’t really see out there with the shadows. Like on a normal day, I’d probably just turn and just get hit. But it was a battle to see the ball.”

After the game and the tests, Mike Trout’s manager, Joe Maddon, was interviewed. He gave an update on Trout’s injury status.Maddon states, “It’s kind of a sore thing. It will be a day-to-day thing. We’ll check with them (medical staff) tomorrow and hope we can get him back soon. The way he reacted when the play hit him, even though it was a slider, it was 81 (mph). He was in more pain than you would think. It is likely that he (Trout) sits tomorrow.”

Wow! Mike Trout will probably be unable to play against the Houston Astros tomorrow. Let us hope he recovers as soon as possible and gets back to what he does best. The Los Angeles Angels are the leading the AL West Division at the moment. The Angels have 10 games while losing 4.
