The Angels plan to activate Trout (knee) from the injured list Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been sidelined since May 1 and was able to clear the final hurdle in his recovery when he ran the bases earlier in the week. He got off to a slow start by hitting just .179 across his first 121 plate appearances this season, but Trout will provide a significant boost to both the Angels and fantasy lineups.

Trout (knee) is expected to resume running the bases at some point during the Angels' three-game series versus the Yankees that begins Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being placed on the injured list May 2 due to a bone bruise in his left knee, Trout has been able to hit off a pitching machine, play catch and take part in agility drills, but being able to run the bases without discomfort is considered the final step in the recovery process before he's ready for game action. The Angels will likely want to see Trout run the bases more than once before activating him from the injured list, so he shouldn't be expected to return to the big-league lineup until next weekend's series versus the Athletics at the soonest. Before he was shut down earlier this month, Trout was hitting a career-worst .179 with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate but slugged nine home runs and stole two bases in 29 games on the season.

Trout (knee) said he had no soreness after jogging on the field Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday's jogging session was a big test for Trout, as it was the first time he has jogged on the field since he landed on the injured list May 2 due to a bone bruise in his left knee. The star outfielder was upbeat about his progress Tuesday, saying, "I'm really excited with where I'm at right now. We're upping the intensity and there's no soreness." Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports that Trout ran again Wednesday at 80 percent intensity (he was at 50-to-60 percent Monday), though he hasn't yet cleared his next hurdle -- running the bases. However, Trout has been able to play catch and hit in the cages with "no pain, no issues," so a return from the injured list may not be far away. Bollinger indicates that Trout may not need a minor-league rehab stint before being activated and suggests that the three-time AL MVP could be back in action before the end of the month, though there's no definite timeline for his return yet.

EDGE Analysis

This is another step in the right direction for Trout, who was cleared to begin hitting off a machine Friday and ran on an anti-gravity treadmill May 12. The club will presumably check in on the star outfielder Tuesday morning to see how he's feeling after Monday's activity. Trout remains without a firm timetable for a return from the 10-day injured list.

Trout (knee) has begun hitting off a machine, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to hitting in the cages, Trout has also been playing catch and doing agility drills on the field. As for his running progression, the veteran outfielder began running on an anti-gravity treadmill Monday and has since worked up to running at 75 percent of his weight. Although he seems to be progressing in his rehab, it's still hard to say how far away he is from returning to the active roster.

Trout (knee) will run on an anti-gravity treadmill Monday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been ramping up other baseball activities lately and a running progression appears imminent. There is no timetable for the outfielder's return from the 10-day injured list, but he's making progress as he works his way back from a bone bruise in his left knee. The club will likely wait to see how Trout fares on the anti-gravity treadmill before disclosing the next step in his rehab.

Trout (knee) said Saturday that he has been swinging a bat and is aiming to progress to running drills during the Angels' series against the Padres next week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout landed on the 10-day injured list May 2 due to a left knee contusion, but the veteran outfielder relayed that the pain that caused his placement on the IL has gone away, per Greg Beacham of The Associated Press. Trout is now dealing with lingering soreness, and a progression to running drills should provide the Angels a better idea of his recovery timeline. Trout was slashing .179/.264/.462 with two stolen bases, nine home runs and 18 RBI in 121 plate appearances before his injury.

The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left knee contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels haven't announced a return timeline for Trout but have said that he isn't dealing with any structural damage in his knee, so there's hope that he won't need much more than a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Niko Kavadas will come up from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the open spot on the active roster, and Jorge Soler will likely take over as the Halos' primary right fielder until Trout returns.

Trout (knee) will be placed on the injured list due to a left knee bruise, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been dealing with the injury since Wednesday and was out of the lineup Thursday. The Angels have consistently downplayed the injury, and manager Ron Washington said that there is no structural damage. It's anticipated that Trout will be sidelined for a relatively short period, though no timeline has been announced.

Trout (knee) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old slugger was taken out of Wednesday's contest after experiencing a bit of soreness in his left knee. His removal was labeled precautionary by manager Ron Washington after the game, and Trout said he would attempt to play Thursday, but it appears his injury is more serious than the team initially thought. Jorge Soler will start in right field while Trout sits and could continue to do so if the latter needs to miss any additional time.
