EDGE Analysis

It's another positive step in his rehabilitation program and a further indication he could begin a rehab assignment within the coming weeks. Trout is recovering from a torn UCL in his left thumb which normally requires 6-to-8 weeks of healing, but he said he's aiming to return just prior to the All-Star break, though a timetable should become clear in the near future.
