Trout (groin) said after Thursday's win over the Red Sox that he's feeling better, and if he feels good again Friday he plans to play against the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout exited Tuesday's contest with left groin tightness and hasn't seen the field in the past two games, but a trip to the injured list appears increasingly unlikely. Even if the 30-year-old sits out again Friday, he appears on track to rejoin the lineup at some point this weekend.

Trout (groin) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout is dealing with left groin tightness but isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. However, he'll remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Thursday while Juan Lagares starts in center field and leads off. It's not yet clear whether Trout will be available off the bench, but he remains day-to-day for now.

Trout (groin) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, but he's considered day-to-day and may be available off the bench, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was removed from Tuesday's contest with tightness in his left groin, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Angels figure to remain cautious so the 30-year-old could be held out of the lineup for a couple days depending how he feels. Juan Lagares will man center field Wednesday in Trout's place.

Trout was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox with left groin tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout appeared to be a bit hobbled while running to second base on a double during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch runner. The 31-year-old entered the contest 1-for-28 over his past eight games but clubbed a two-run homer in the first frame before doubling in the third. He's now dealing with an injury. The severity of the issue remains to be seen, leaving Trout's availability up in the air.

Trout has gone 0-for-26 with nine strikeouts over his past seven games.
EDGE Analysis
A 3-for-4 performance against Toronto on May 28 had Trout's season batting average up to .320, but that number has tumbled all the way down to .274 as a result of the superstar's hitless streak. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, the 0-for-26 slump is the worst of Trout's storied career. Despite his recent struggles, Trout's .953 OPS on the season still ranks 10th in the majors.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an HBP and an additional run in a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Trout singled in the first inning, singled and scored in the fifth, launched a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh and was hit in the ninth. The solid performance breaks a 1-for-12 mini slump for the 30-year-old, who's now slashing .320/.422/.673 with 13 home runs, 37 runs and 28 RBI.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI and an additional run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Trout posted a 1.319 OPS during the Angels' six-game week and is now up to 12 home runs on the season, putting him behind only the Yankees' Aaron Judge (15) for the MLB lead. The running game isn't a part of Trout's skill set at this stage of his career -- he's yet to attempt a steal through 38 games -- but he's re-emerged as an elite four-category contributor coming off an injury-plagued 2021 campaign.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored Tuesday in a loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Trout came into the contest in a bit of a slump, having gone 3-for-18 over his previous five games. The superstar outfielder busted out of the cold snap against the Rangers, falling a triple short of a cycle and blasting his 10th long ball of the campaign in the seventh inning. Trout has unsurprisingly been among the league's top hitters this season, complementing the homer total with a .325/.440/.684 slash line, 10 doubles, 21 RBI and 31 runs. The only disappointing part of his season from a fantasy perspective is that he has yet to attempt a stolen base.

Trout will sit for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader in Oakland, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has produced excellent numbers as usual thus far this season, hitting .323/.446/.697 with nine homers in 29 games. The Angels won't ask him to play twice in one day, so he'll hit the bench here before presumably returning to the lineup for the nightcap.

Trout is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout will receive his second day off this month on the heels of a highly productive stretch of five consecutive starts in which he went 8-for-19 with three home runs, a double, three walks, six runs and eight RBI. Aaron Whitefield will fill in for Trout in center field.
