Trout (hand) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was hit by a pitch on the left hand Sunday, and he'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game in Wednesday's series finale. The Angels have a scheduled day off Thursday, so Trout will have an additional day to recover prior to Friday's matchup against the Orioles. Brandon Marsh will start in center field while Jo Adell takes over in left field Wednesday.

Trout (hand) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
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. Trout is out for Monday's matchup with the Astros, but he should be considered day-to-day for now and may be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Trout (hand) is out of the lineup as expected Monday against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout exited Sunday's game against the Rangers after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. His X-Rays were negative, but manager Joe Maddon noted after the game that Trout was expected to sit for at least one game. Brandon Marsh will start in center field Monday, but it's possible Trout could return as soon as Tuesday depending on when his soreness and swelling subsides.

Manager Joe Maddon said Sunday that Trout (hand) is unlikely to play Monday against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Trout is considered day-to-day after X-rays conducted on his left hand Sunday returned negative, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Much to the relief of fantasy managers, Trout doesn't appear to have fractured any bones in his hand after he departed from Sunday's game against the Rangers in the fifth inning, when he was struck by an 81 mile-per-hour slider. While a long-term absence looks to be off the table for Trout, he could still be dealing with enough soreness and swelling in the hand to make it difficult to swing the bat or comfortably wear a glove. The Angels will likely re-evaluate him early Monday before deciding on his status for their series opener in Houston later that day.

Trout was removed in the top of the fifth inning after he was struck by a pitch on his left hand, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double, a run and an RBI before departing.
EDGE Analysis
Brandon Marsh came on to pinch run for Trout, who appeared to be in considerable pain after he was struck in his non-throwing hand by Spencer Patton's 81 mile-per-hour slider. The extent of Trout's injury won't be known until he undergoes X-rays, with the Angels likely to provide an update on the matter after the game or at some point before Monday's series opener in Houston. Marsh would likely be the main beneficiary for extra playing time in the outfield alongside Jo Adell and Taylor Ward if Trout's hand injury is in fact significant enough to force him to the injured list.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk in a 10-5 loss Thursday in Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's first-inning blast went an estimated 472 feet. He later added a walk, his fifth in six games this season. The three-time American League Most Valuable Player continues to be one of the most dangerous hitters in all of baseball and now has an OPS over .900 on the season.

Trout is starting in center field and batting second Tuesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was scratched from Monday's lineup due to stomach distress but was able to make an appearance off the bench, and his absence from the starting nine will be limited to one contest. The 30-year-old is 3-for-13 with a solo homer, a double and two walks through his first four games of the season.

Trout (illness) has been cleared to rejoin the Angels lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels haven't indicated whether Trout will start in center field as he usually does or serve as the team's designated hitter in his return from a one-game absence, but his availability in any capacity is a welcome sight for fantasy managers who took the gamble by keeping him active this week. Trout was a late scratch ahead of Monday's eventual 6-2 win after experiencing stomach distress, but he was able to make a cameo off the bench and apparently showed improvement in his condition when he reported to the ballpark earlier Tuesday.
