Trout is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout will get a pre-planned day off after going 4-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run in two games since being activated from the injured list Friday. Though Trout has experienced no setbacks with his knee, manager Ron Washington noted that the 33-year-old isn't yet ready to play right field and will continue to be deployed as the Angels' designated hitter for the remainder of their current road trip, which ends Wednesday in Boston. Trout is expected to resume outfield workouts when the Angels return to Anaheim, but it's unclear how soon he might be ready to play defense.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI double in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Trout extended the Angels' lead to three runs in the fifth inning, when his double to left field brought Yoan Moncada home. It was Trout's second game back from a four-week absence due to a knee injury and his first RBI since April 25 against the Twins.

Trout went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in a 4-1 win against Cleveland on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Trout had a quiet performance in the victory, the big news is that he got through the game without issues after missing over four weeks due to a knee injury. The star slugger got a chance to run the bases after singling in his second at-bat, though he didn't play the field, instead logging the start as the team's DH. Trout may remain in that role for the short term since he didn't embark upon a rehab assignment prior to his return.

Trout (knee) was officially reinstated from the injured list prior to Friday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Trout missed the first four-plus weeks of May with the knee injury, but he'll be back in the lineup for the weekend series in Cleveland. Trout is batting fifth and will be limited to designated hitter initially after not going on a rehab assignment.

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.

Trout (knee) was spotted jogging in the outfield prior to Monday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
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.
