Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two runs and a stolen base in the Angels' 14-5 win over the Astros on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a typical day at the ballpark for the dynamic outfielder, who is doing some of his finest work yet, even by his lofty standards, in his age-26 season. Following his latest explosive effort, Trout is now slashing a spectacular .307/.452/.603 with 26 homers and 16 steals, putting him right on pace for yet another MVP-caliber campaign.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a walk and his 14th stolen base of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has picked things up at the plate over his last three games, going 6-for-11 with a homer and a steal in those three contests. The superstar was slumping over his previous 15 games (8-for-50) while playing through a minor finger injury, but his recent uptick in production bodes well for his health moving forward. Overall, Trout owns a tremendous .314/.457/.626 slash line with 25 homers and 14 steals through 92 games.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday;s 7-1 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The superstar has 24 homers on the year, but he hadn't gone yard since June 12 thanks in part to a nagging finger injury. With Trout apparently back at 100 percent, look for him to quickly regain the major-league home run lead from J.D. Martinez.

Trout is back in center field Friday against the Orioles after spending nine straight games as the Angels' designated hitter.
EDGE Analysis
Trout had been unable to field due to a minor finger injury, though he remained able to hit. He hit just .214 with no extra-base hits over that span, indicating that he may not have been at full strength at the plate (though he claimed not to have been affected). A return to the field indicates that he and the team are now confident that he's fully healthy, so he should return to producing Trout-like numbers at the plate.

Trout will serve as the DH in Thursday's game, but he's expected to participate in some throwing drills to test out his sprained right finger during the team's pregame warmups, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has been utilized as the Angels' designated hitter since last Thursday while recovering from this finger injury. During that span, he's gone 5-for-22 with five walks, no extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts, though he's stated that the sprain hasn't affected his hitting. If all goes well Thursday, he should be back in the field this weekend.

Trout will bat second as the Angels' designated hitter during Wednesday's game against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Trout will continue to serve as the DH while dealing with a minor finger injury that has prohibited him from taking the field. Prior to Tuesday's contest, Trout said his return defensively was "day-to-day" so expect to see him back in the outfield soon.

Trout (finger) could return to the field Wednesday, at the earliest, and will continue to serve as the designated hitter in the meantime, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is going to try to throw Tuesday, and if all goes well, he may return to the outfield before the end of this week's series in Boston. Trout has been limited to DH duty since June 19 because of his finger injury. He is 3-for-15 with five walks in the five games since injuring his finger.

Trout stated that his injured finger will probably require another week or so to fully recover, so he will continue to serve as the team's designated hitter going forward, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout sprained his right index finger last weekend, but it reportedly only affects him on throws from the outfield, which is why he has served as the team's DH over the last four games. The superstar has gone just 2-for-14 with seven strikeouts in those four contests, so the minor injury may be affecting his ability to produce at plate after all. That said, the Angels would be foolish to take risks with its superstar by rolling him out there if the ailment was severe, so we have to chalk up his recent struggled to a natural slump.

Trout has been diagnosed with a sprained right index finger, though he's been cleared to serve as the designated hitter. According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Trout is hitting second as the designated hitter Thursday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The injury, which apparently started bothering Trout over the weekend, only affects the outfielder when he throws -- something confirmed by his inclusion in Thursday's lineup as well as his .750 batting average over the last five games. He'll be reevaluated in the coming days, but Trout expects to be in the lineup as the designated hitter until he's able to return to the outfield.

Trout went 1-for-1 with two RBI and two walks in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Trout came up in the fifth with the bases loaded and delivered a two-run single that saw a third run come around on a throwing error by center fielder Jarrod Dyson. Trout is now riding an eight-game hitting streak and currently sports a .335 batting average. The young outfielder leads the majors in home runs (23), runs (60) and on-base percentage (.469).
