Trout is slashing .318/.444/.591 with a home run, a double, a triple, seven RBI, four runs and a stolen base in six games with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

EDGE Analysis

Though Trea Turner has absorbed much of the spotlight for a United States team that will be playing in the WBC final Tuesday, Trout has been a major part of the offense as well, ranking second on the team with seven RBI. After missing over 40 games with a back injury last year, the future Hall of Famer appears fully healthy this spring, as he's one of four players on Team USA who has played in all six tournament contests thus far. Trout is still one of the best hitters in baseball, so he's pretty much guaranteed to be an elite offensive producer as long as he remains healthy.

Trout told Sam Blum of The Athletic on Friday that his back has been a "non-issue" for four months.

EDGE Analysis

Trout missed time last season with a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction, which is a chronic injury. However, he showed no ill effects after returning, posting a 1.056 OPS with 16 home runs over 40 games down the stretch. The back problem remains a long-term concern and Trout has been an injury risk in recent years even beyond the back issue. However, it has not affected his offseason work and he's on track to enter spring training healthy.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Wednesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Trout took Norge Ruiz deep in the eighth inning to tally his first 40-homer season since 2019. He ended the campaign with a surge of power to reach that mark, as he slugged four long balls across his last nine games. Though Trout again missed time due to injury this season, he ended the campaign with a very impressive .283/.369/.630 line across 499 plate appearances.

Trout (foot) went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Trout missed only one game with foot soreness after fouling a ball off his foot Friday. The 31-year-old made an impact in his return, scoring the opening run in the first inning and adding a solo shot in the fourth. He's homered three times in his last six games and he's up to 39 for the year, one shy of reaching the 40-homer mark for the third time in his career. The star outfielder has added a .282/.367/.627 slash line with 79 RBI, 84 runs scored and a stolen base through 116 contests.

Trout (foot) is starting in center field and batting second Sunday against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout was held out of Saturday's lineup due to foot soreness, but his quick return indicates the injury isn't a serious concern. The 31-year-old is coming off an electric September, as he had a .301/.365/.710 slash line with 10 home runs, eight doubles, 20 RBI and 20 runs in 24 games.

Trout will sit Saturday against the Rangers due to a sore foot, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout's performance has been as strong as ever this season, but injuries have limited him to 115 games. His latest issue, which developed after he fouled a ball off his foot Friday, doesn't seem to be particularly serious, but the Angels have no incentive to push things at the end of a lost season. Taylor Ward will slide to center field Saturday, with Luis Rengifo moving out to right.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Trout struck out his first time up and came back in the fourth with a leadoff home run off Adrian Martinez to make it a 1-1 game. The star outfielder has hit safely in six of his last seven games and is now up to 10 home runs in September, to go along with 20 RBI and 18 runs scored. His 26 strikeouts over that stretch, however, are a bit concerning.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles, three runs and a walk during Sunday's 10-3 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Trout extended his hitting streak to five games during Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, and he reached base four times during the blowout win. During his current hitting streak, the 31-year-old has gone 7-for-19 with a homer, three doubles, six RBI, five runs, three walks and four strikeouts.

Trout is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout looks to be receiving little more than a maintenance day while the Angels close out their series with Seattle with a matinee game. Magneuris Sierra checks in as the Angels' center fielder in place of Trout, who is hitting .309 with eight home runs and 13 RBI through his first 14 games of September.

Trout went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Trout took a breath this week, going two games without a long ball before teeing off again Friday. He's hit seven of his 36 homers this year against the Mariners, though this was just his second in a home game versus the Angels' division rivals in 2022. The star outfielder has added a stellar .279/.366/.629 slash line with 71 RBI, 73 runs scored and a stolen base through 103 games.
