Trout's playing time and position moving forward is dependent on how he tolerates pain in his ailing toe, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

While there are no plans to shut Trout down, the Angels are clearly in no hurry to rush their megastar back to the lineup, as he has not played since Sept. 7. When Trout does return, his role -- either as a center fielder or designated hitter -- will be determined by the pain level in his toe. Trout was originally in Friday's lineup as the DH but was a late scratch after experiencing discomfort while trying to put his cleats on, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. He remains day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

Trout was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter for Friday's clash, but he's since been scratched. After participating in baseball activities during the pregame, he determined he's still too sore to play, per Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times. Trout's next opportunity to return will come Saturday in the second game of the series. Albert Pujols will slot in as the designated hitter and hit cleanup.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been sidelined since Saturday after undergoing a minor foot procedure, but he'll return to action without having to patrol the outfield Friday. The Angels may limit him to hitting duties as a precaution over the next few days.

EDGE Analysis

He will take advantage of Thursday's off day to get as close to 100 percent as possible. Trout said he did not want to risk the foot flaring up by returning Wednesday. Brian Goodwin continues to start in his place.

EDGE Analysis

The expectation is that Trout will be able to return before the end of the week, and hopefully Thursday's off day will allow him enough time to get right for this weekend's series against the Rays. Brian Goodwin will continue to start in his place.

Trout (toe) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected after Trout underwent a cryoablation procedure on his ailing toe Monday. The expectation is that Trout will be ready to return by the end of the homestand, if not by Wednesday for the series finale against Cleveland. Brian Goodwin is in center field in Trout's absence.

Trout (toe) is expected to miss a few games, though he could be back in the starting lineup by Wednesday's series finale against the Indians, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout underwent a minor procedure on his right foot Monday, but the star outfielder is on track to return to action during the team's current homestand, which runs from Sept. 9 to Sept. 15. Skipper Brad Ausmus noted that Trout won't make the issue any worse by playing on it and that the 28-year-old's level of pain will dictate his availability moving forward.

Trout underwent a cryoablation procedure Monday morning for a neuroma in his right foot.

EDGE Analysis

Trout isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Indians after having the procedure, which essentially alleviated pressure in his injured right big toe, per Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times. He's being considered day-to-day moving forward.

Trout (toe) is not in the lineup Monday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Trout -- who was expected to return Sunday before being scratched from the lineup -- is set to miss a third straight game as he continues to nurse a right toe injury, which he picked up Friday against the White Sox. It's unclear if the outfielder will be available off the bench. Brian Goodwin is starting in center field and hitting leadoff in his place Monday.

Trout (toe) was scratched from the lineup prior to Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Saturday's game with right toe discomfort, Trout was back in the lineup that the Angels had originally released for Sunday's game. The team evidently had a change of heart, however, so Trout will get at least one more day to rest. Michael Hermosillo will start in center field in his absence.
