Trout will serve as the designated hitter and is hitting second Thursday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good news that Trout is in the lineup yet again, he still hasn't returned to the field since suffering a groin injury. He participated in pregame warmups Thursday with the hope of gaining clearance to man center field, but the Angels will keep him in the designated hitter spot for one more night. The former MVP is expected to start at center field Friday, per J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News.
