Trout will undergo surgery Wednesday on the torn UCL in his left thumb and will miss 6-8 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Trout was placed on the 10-day disabled list with the thumb injury on Monday. There was still some slight hope that he would be able to avoid surgery and miss just a couple of weeks, but the outfielder and club have elected to take the safe route and undergo the procedure. The 6-8 week timeline suggested would place Trout's return around the All-Star break at the earliest, and perhaps around early August at the latest.
