Trout helped the Angels get off to a fast start, driving in a run with with a triple in the first frame and coming home to score on a Taylor Ward single two pitches later. Trout added to Rays starter Zach Eflin's rough outing with a 423-foot solo blast to center in the third inning.

Trout's now slashing .250/.351/.625 with four RBI and a 4:8 BB:K through 37 plate appearances.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

There was a time when a stolen base by Trout would be run-of-the-mill, but his theft Tuesday qualifies as intriguing news given that the slugger hasn't swiped more than two bags in a season since 2019. The star outfielder has gotten off to a fine start to the campaign in the power department with three homers through five games, and despite being plagued by injuries in recent years, there's little doubt that he still has the potential to be among the top home-run hitters in the sport. It would be a big bonus for Trout's fantasy managers, though, if he could get back to being a double-digit base-stealer, so it bears paying attention to see if his steal Monday was a sign that he'll be running more this year or if it turns out to be a rare occurrence in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Trout knocked his first homer in the fourth inning followed by a massive 473-foot shot in the sixth. The star outfielder had gone 1-for-7 with four punchouts over his previous two games but is now already up to three long balls on the year. Trout's hoping to diminish the injury concerns this season and he continues to prove his dominance when healthy.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Trout hit third in the Angels' Opening Day lineup and wasted no time parking his mark on the game by taking Corbin Burnes deep in his first at-bat. He was ultimately pulled from the game early with the Angels down big, but there is no injury issue. Trout has failed to reach 500 plate appearances in each of the last three full seasons, but he should remain an elite producer so long as he can stay on the field.

Trout is batting .208 with a home run, five RBI and a 1:11 BB:K through 24 Cactus League at-bats.

EDGE Analysis

Trout is tied for the second on the team in RBI this spring, through four of his five runs batted in came on a single swing when he belted a grand slam against Oakland on Wednesday. Spring training stats should typically be taken with a grain of salt, but it is a bit concerning that the star outfielder has struck out in nearly half of his at-bats thus far after posting a career-worst 28.7 strikeout rate last season. Trout did say at the end of the week that he is starting to see pitches better, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, and he has plenty of time to shake off any lingering rust before Opening Day.

Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Trout will bat third this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has traditionally hit either second or third and spent most of his time in the two-hole last season. However, that spot will be occupied by Nolan Schanuel to open 2024, with Trout providing protection. Anthony Rendon is expected to follow Trout in the cleanup spot.

Trout told reporters Monday that he doesn't want to be traded and has been pushing Angels owner Arte Moreno and general manager Perry Minasian to sign one of the remaining marquee free agents, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was speculation heading into the winter that Trout might seek a trade, but Minasian had said back in December that Trout wouldn't be dealt this offseason. While Trout on Monday wouldn't rule out asking for a trade sometime in the future, for now he remains committed to winning in Anaheim. The Angels have been somewhat loosely connected to Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, and it sounds like Trout will continue to advocate for a free-agent splurge.
