EDGE Analysis

Trout (hand) said after Wednesday's win over the Astros he intends to play Friday versus Baltimore, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Joe Maddon said earlier Wednesday he expects Trout to rejoin the lineup Friday, so it's not a major surprise to see the center fielder echo those comments.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said that he's "pretty certain" Trout (hand) will return to the lineup in Friday's series opener with the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was struck by a pitch in his left hand in Sunday's win over the Rangers, Trout has proceeded to ride the bench in all three of the Angels' games in Houston to begin the week. The Angels seem encouraged that Trout won't miss any time beyond Wednesday, however, and Maddon indicated that the star outfielder could even make a pinch-hitting appearance in the series finale with the Astros. The skipper suggested that Trout was held out of the lineup Wednesday mostly because he thought it would be more beneficial for the 30-year-old to get two full days off with the Angels not playing a game Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Trout will sit for a second consecutive game after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday's matchup with Texas. The 30-year-old appears to have avoided a fracture with an MRI and X-ray coming back negative, and his return is apparently dependent on his pain tolerance. The Angels have a scheduled off day Thursday, so Trout could be held out of the lineup again for Wednesday's series finale in Houston, which would give him four full days of recovery time for Friday's series opener versus Baltimore.

Trout (hand) underwent an MRI on Monday which confirmed he didn't suffer a fracture when hit by a pitch Sunday, and athletic trainer Mike Frostad said the center fielder's return to the lineup will be a matter a of pain tolerance, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old underwent X-rays after being hit by a pitch on the left hand Sunday against the Rangers, but fortunately all the testing to this point has come back negative for a fracture.

EDGE Analysis

Trout exited Sunday's game against the Rangers after getting hit in the hand by a pitch.

Trout was removed from Sunday's win over the Rangers after he was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, and he said after the game that he's feeling better, but his hand is still sore and swollen. Although he's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative, it appears likely that he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game.
