Trout (calf) said he ran at 90 percent Monday but still doesn't know when he'll begin a rehab assignment, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout recently said he was feeling close to 100 percent, and his effort in running drills Monday echoes that assessment. The 29-year-old has yet to run the bases, and he'll need to do so before embarking on a rehab assignment. He appears to be nearing his return from the injured list, but he'll likely require at least a few rehab outings in the minors before being cleared for big-league action.

Trout (calf) is close to a full recovery, but the outfielder still doesn't have a rehab assignment scheduled, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Angels still haven't determined when Trout could begin a rehab assignment, the fact that he's feeling close to 100 percent indicates the announcement could be coming any day now. Once he is able to start a rehab stint, the star outfielder will likely need to get at least a handful of games under his belt before he's activated. Trout should have a chance to return by the end of July, though it's possible he doesn't get reinstated until the beginning of August.

Manager Joe Maddon said the Angels have yet to decide when Trout (calf) will begin a rehab assignment, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels' skipper added that Trout will be re-evaluated after continuing his workouts through the All-Star break next week. Having been sidelined since May 17, the outfielder will likely require more than one or two games of rehab, so a late-July activation appears to be the best-case scenario for Trout.

Trout (calf) participated in batting practice on the field Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was taking swings off a tee last week but has now progressed to batting practice. He only recently resumed baseball activities, so it's a good sign to see him progressing toward live work. The 29-year-old is eligible to be activated off the 60-day injured list right after the All-Star break July 17, and he's expected to be ready to play by that point or soon after.

Trout (calf) took 50 swings off a tee, threw from 90 feet and jogged Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout isn't eligible to come off the 60-day IL until July 17 and only recently resumed baseball activities. That said, he appears to be headed in a positive direction in his recovery from the strained right calf that sidelined him in mid-May. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Trout should be ready to return to the Angels' lineup soon after the All-Star break.

Trout (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move doesn't have much of an impact on Trout's recovery timeline. He won't be eligible to return until July 17, but that's approximately when he was expected to return anyway. He began swinging in the cage Monday, an important step in is rehab process, but he still has several more steps to go.

Trout (calf) hasn't yet resumed any baseball activities, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was hoping he'd be able to resume running in early June, but general manager Perry Minasian said that the 29-year-old still doesn't have a clear recovery timetable due to his lack of activity. The Angels initially said that the center fielder could return to game action around the All-Star break, but his status should become clearer once he resumes baseball activities.

After another examination, the Angels believe Trout (calf) is about one month away from a return, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout still hasn't been cleared to jog, but he was examined Monday and the physician determined that he's recovering at a normal pace. If he stays on track, he should be ready to come off the injured list right after the All-Star break. More information on his timeline should surface as Trout clears more hurdles on the road to recovery.

Trout (calf) is expected to have a clearer return timeline once he's cleared to resume jogging in the coming days, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout said following last Monday's workout that he was hoping to get clearance to jog soon, though he's yet to reach that milestone in his recovery as of early Sunday afternoon. Once the superstar outfielder is able to run, a more concrete return timeline should come into focus. At this point, Trout is expected to be out through the All-Star break, though an earlier July return won't necessarily be ruled out if he progresses faster than expected in coming weeks.

Trout (calf) was pleased with Monday's workout and intends to begin jogging soon, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, but he continues to make progress from a right calf strain sustained in mid-May. At this point, he remains on track to return shortly after the All-Star break.
