After missing a pair of games to begin August while he recovered from an illness, Trout started in each of the Angels' ensuing 19 contests and slashed .231/.383/.323 with one home run, five RBI and 12 runs.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels will get two key players back in the lineup for the series finale, as Trout returns from a two-game absence due to an illness, while Christian Moore (thumb) will start at second base in his return from the 10-day injured list. Though Trout has served exclusively as a DH since rejoining the Angels in late May following a month-long stay on the IL due to a bone bruise in his left knee, he's still hopeful to resume playing right field before the end of the season. Since experiencing some renewed soreness in his knee shortly after the All-Star break, Trout hasn't resumed taking part in defensive drills, so it's unclear how realistic a return to the outfield might be with just two months left in the campaign.

Trout (illness) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout will miss a second consecutive game Saturday due to his illness and aim to return to the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. While he recovers, Gustavo Campero will serve as the Angels' designated hitter, putting Jo Adell in right field and the newly promoted Bryce Teodosio in center.

Trout has started in all 13 games since the All-Star break, going 11-for-49 (.224) with three doubles, two home runs and six RBI with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate over that span. However, an illness will send him to the bench for the start of Friday's series opener while Travis d'Arnaud serves as the designated hitter and bats eighth.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Trout capped off the Angels' four-run fifth inning with a massive 443-foot blast off Logan Gilbert, with the long ball including the 1,000th RBI of Trout's career. Though the 33-year-old has been able to serve as the Angels' everyday designated hitter since coming off the injured list May 30, he doesn't appear close to being ready to play in the outfield. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Trout said prior to Sunday's game that he hasn't taken part in outfield drills since the Angels' series with the Mets earlier in the week, after he experienced some soreness in his knee. He still plans to ramp up his outfield work once the knee soreness subsides, but the Angels may not be comfortable having him serve as anything other than a DH until late in the season.
