Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk and his seventh home run of the season in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels's offense slumped as a whole against Jeff Samardzija and the rest of the Giants' arms, but Trout was able to salvage his night and belt a homer off of Pierce Johnson in the eighth inning. The superstar's early struggles are in the rear-view mirror, and he now owns a .286/.398/.597 triple-slash with an American League leading seven long balls.

Trout went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI Saturday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Trout struck out twice Saturday but made sure it wasn't a wasted game as he hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning. It was his sixth home run of the season and fourth in his past seven games.

Trout went 2-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season in Tuesday's 11-1 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was part of an Angels' barrage that chased Rangers' starter, Martin Perez, after just three innings. The 26-year-old has overcome his early struggles with a pair of multi-hit games and a pair of long balls over his past three contests. Tuesday's homer moved Trout into a five-way tie for second place in home runs among all major leaguers. A .235 batting average is the last category left to correct for the five-tool outfielder.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and a steal in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Trout broke out of his 1-for-18 slump with an across-the-board stat line that reminded fantasy owners why he is considered one of the game's best. The superstar's early struggles suppressed his batting average (.220), but he has contributed three homers and two steals to keep his value afloat.

Trout went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The perennial MVP candidate has looked like anything but a superstar so far, as he's now 7-for-38 (.184) on the season. Trout still has a decent 5:8 BB:K to go with two homers in that span, so there's no need to panic yet. It's a long season, so there's plenty of time for the 26-year-old to get on track and get back to his spot as one of the league's top players.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs, accounting for all the scoring in LA's 2-1 win over Oakland on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Trout went 0-for-6 in the Angels' season-opener but he got right back to his old ways with Friday's homer. He's as safe a fantasy play as there is in the game right now, so look for the numbers to start piling up in short order.

Trout hasn't struck out this spring in 41 plate appearances, the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout seems to add something to his game almost every season, and this year it might be even more contact. The 26-year-old superstar has dropped his strikeout rate in three consecutive seasons, from 26.1 percent in 2014 to 23.2 percent, 20.1 percent and 17.8 percent in the next three years. That drop has been matched by a jump in his walk rate, from 11.8 percent in 2014 to 13.5 percent, 17.0 percent and 18.5 percent in the next three seasons. That dominance of the strike zone is yet one more reason why Trout is considered the consensus number one pick again this season.

Trout went 3-for-3 with a home run, a pair of RBI and a pair of runs scored in Saturday's spring training loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Trout entered Saturday's contest mired in a 1-for-14 slump, but he broke out of his dry spell in a big way. Spring training stats for a proven superstar of his caliber shouldn't mean much to fantasy owners, as the production (assuming good health) should be sky-high for the 26-year-old once the games begin to count.

Trout went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's spring training loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has gone hitless in his first four at-bats this spring, but that shouldn't raise any concerns at all. The key for the five-tool superstar is that he is healthy coming into the 2018 campaign after landing on the DL for the first time in his distinguished career last season. Even with his injury-shortened campaign, Trout is still regarded as potentially the best fantasy asset heading into drafts, which is a testament to his generational talent.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk and two home runs in Friday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
He took Marco Gonzales yard in the first for his 200th career home run, and followed up with No. 201 in the eighth. A thumb injury cost Trout roughly six weeks and will in turn cost him another AL MVP award, but he's been as good as ever, if not better, when on the field.
