Trout went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Trout struck out in his first plate appearance of the campaign, but he reached base in his subsequent three trips to the dish and picked up his first RBI with a single in the eighth inning. Now in his 11th big-league season, Trout remains one of the most consistently productive forces in the game and is likely to end up as one of fantasy's elite performers once again.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that he's leaning toward hitting Trout third in the lineup this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been somewhat quiet at the plate this spring, slashing .250/.417/.393 with one home run, one double, six RBI, four runs, seven walks and 10 strikeouts over 14 Cactus League games. Trout has batted second over most of his career, but he mainly batted third during the 2020 season and appears likely to do so once again in 2021.

Trout is batting just .167 (3-for-18) with a home run, two RBI and seven strikeouts so far in Cactus League play.

EDGE Analysis

Trout hasn't made much noise in camp thus far, but it would be unwise to slide him down your draft board based on his performance in exhibition games. The superstar outfielder batted only .240 during spring/summer camp in 2020 and still went on to post a very Trout-like campaign, compiling a .993 OPS and ranking fourth in the league with 17 home runs.

Trout is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout sat out Saturday and will observe again after the Angels were officially eliminated from postseason contention Friday. Jo Adell will start in center as Taylor Ward bats third. Trout's probably not going home with the AL MVP this year, but he still had a fantastic offensive season overall and is a no-doubt first-rounder for fantasy in 2021.

Trout will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels are resting several players after being officially eliminated from the playoffs Friday. Whether or not Trout plays in Sunday's season finale remains to be seen. Jo Adell will start in center field in his absence.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Trout pushed the Angels ahead with a three-run blast against Clayton Kershaw in the third inning, ending a 12-game drought without a home run. The long ball was number 17 of the year for the talented 29-year-old, who is slashing .281/.390/.603 overall.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a base hit Sunday in the Angels' 7-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Trout remains on track to turn in an OPS over 1.000 for the fourth straight season, but he's slowed down a bit over the past week and a half. Since taking over the MLB lead in home runs after smacking his 16th long ball of the season Sept. 10, Trout has gone 9-for-33 with three extra-base hits (all doubles) over the Angels' subsequent nine games. Given that he's managed to draw seven walks while striking out only five times over that stretch, Trout still seems to be seeing the ball well, so fantasy managers have reason to hope that he'll heat up over the final week of the season. He'll remain in the lineup for Monday's series finale, starting in center field and batting third.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Trout's solo shot off Kyle Gibson in the fifth extended the Halos' lead to 4-1. The center fielder now leads the majors with 16 homers as he continues to slash a tremendous .296/.392/.664.

Trout is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

This seems like nothing more than a well-deserved rest day after Trout started 32 consecutive games, including both ends of Saturday's doubleheader. He moved atop the franchise's all-time home-run leaderboard during the twin bill with his 300th career homer. Jo Adell starts in center field as Taylor Ward takes over in right against lefty Framber Valdez.

Trout went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a two-run homer and four total runs scored during a 10-9 win over the Astros in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old superstar also went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and two runs in the nightcap, but it was his third-inning blast off Brandon Bielak in the matinee that put his name in the franchise record book -- it was Trout's 300th career homer, making him the Angels' all-time leader in that category. On the season, he's hitting .295 with 15 home runs and 38 RBI, and he is on pace for his fourth straight campaign with an OPS over 1.000.
