Trout went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout unleashed a solo shot off starter Marco Gonzales in the sixth inning, and he later added a three-run bomb off reliever Taylor Williams in the eighth, although his late power surge wasn't enough to mount a comeback. Trout has homered three times in two games since returning to the lineup following a paternity leave, and he is slashing a strong .323/.389/.742 with a 1.131 OPS after a slow start to the season.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old had missed the past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, and he didn't waste time to announce his presence -- he blasted a solo shot in the first inning off starter Justin Dunn. Trout got off to a slow start this season but is now riding a three-game hitting streak, going 5-for-13 with a .429 on-base percentage during that stretch.

Trout is starting in center field and batting second Tuesday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old missed the past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, but he's back with the Angels and will reclaim his usual spot in the lineup. Trout has a .292/.357/.458 slash line with one homer through six games, and he'll now be joined in the outfield by the organization's top prospect, Jo Adell, who was recalled and is making his major-league debut Tuesday in Seattle.

The Angels reinstated Trout (personal) from the restricted list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction indicates that Trout has cleared all COVID-19 intake testing upon arriving in Seattle ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners. Trout missed the Angels' past four games while witnessing the birth of his son, Beckham, but the eight-time All-Star should immediately slot back in as the team's everyday center fielder. He could be joined in the outfield Tuesday by top prospect Jo Adell, who will be formally called up from the team's alternate training site prior to the contest.

Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Sunday that Trout (personal) was transferred from the paternity to the restricted list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Trout is scheduled to join the Angels in Seattle for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners and is expected to be activated ahead of that game.
EDGE Analysis
The impending birth of Trout's first child was something that weighed heavily into his valuation leading into fantasy drafts conducted shortly before the 60-game season began, but the star outfielder looks like he'll end up missing only four games as a result of the personal matter. Assuming he clears all COVID-19-related protocols prior to rejoining the club, Trout should slot back in as the Angels' starting center fielder and No. 2 hitter Tuesday, resulting in Brian Goodwin shifting back over to right field. Before leaving the team Thursday, Trout looked like his usual self through the Angels' first six games, going 7-for-24 with a home run and four RBI.

Trout is expected to return from paternity leave as soon as Sunday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's wife, Jessica, gave birth to the couple's first child within the last few days. Trout indicated prior to the season that he wasn't entirely sold on the idea of playing during a pandemic immediately before or after becoming a father, though manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that he expected his star outfielder back soon. Saturday is Trout's final day of paternity leave, though it hasn't been confirmed that he'll be back in the lineup Sunday.

Trout was placed on the paternity list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The reigning American League MVP will head to the paternity list a little bit earlier than expected, with his wife Jessica originally due to have their first child Aug. 3. Trout will likely be out of the Halos lineup through the weekend series against the Astros, with him potentially returning to the fold for the following series against the Mariners.

Trout went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-7 loss against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout got off to a 1-for-7 start in the first two days of the season, but he has gone 6-for-17 with one homer and four RBI since then. Wednesday's game represented his season-high mark for hits and the fourth straight contest in which he reached base safely.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was responsible for knocking in all four of the Angels' runs in Sunday's game. That accounts for the 28-year-old's first contributions to the offense in three contests this year. There's no worry when it comes to Trout's offense -- he's coming off of a 45-homer, 104 RBI campaign in 2019.

Trout went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has started the season 1-for-7 with two strikeouts and a walk, but it's only a matter of time before the reigning AL MVP gets it going. Trout hit .291 with 45 home runs and 104 RBI in 470 at-bats last season.
