Trout is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Angels' elimination from the playoffs, manager Mike Scioscia elected to give a bunch of regulars the day off, so Trout will occupy a seat on the bench for the series finale. In his place, Eric Young will patrol center field.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a home run and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Trout reached the 30-homer plateau for the fourth time at the ripe age of 25, becoming the 10th player in major-league history to accomplish the feat. It is even more impressive when you consider the superstar missed six weeks of action this season with a thumb injury. The Angels' playoff hopes appear to be dwindling, but Trout can still make an impact for his owners' teams who are currently in the fantasy playoffs.

Trout went 2-for-2 with a pair of walks and a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's bat has uncharacteristically gone cold this month, as he has gone just 15-for-61 (.246) through 18 September starts. In true superstar fashion, he has still provided fantasy value during his hitting slump with two homers, six steals and 14 runs scored.

Trout led off and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and a pair of RBI in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging outfielder has been filling in for Brandon Phillips (back) atop the Halos' lineup over the past couple of games, but unlike traditional leadoff hitters, he took matters into his own hands and drove himself in with his 29th homer of the season. Trout's six-week absence due to a thumb injury derailed what could have been a career-best season, as his 1.090 OPS leads all major-league hitters.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout took Erasmo Ramirez deep to dead center field for his first home run of September. The RBI was also Trout's first of the month -- he hasn't had many opportunities with Brandon Phillips getting off to a slow start with the club.

Trout didn't record a hit in five plate appearances Tuesday, but he managed to steal two bases in an extra-inning win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has stolen five bases over his last five contests, bringing his season total up to an even 20. The 25-year-old now owns an incredible .326/.463/.655 slash line with 27 home runs through 94 games. It is almost a sure bet that the five-tool superstar would have turned in his second 30-homer, 30-steal season if it weren't for a thumb injury that cost him six weeks of action. That said, we wouldn't be surprised if Trout made a serious run at that plateau with just 23 games left in season; he is just that good.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, and a pair of runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels added two proven veterans in Brandon Phillips and Justin Upton at the waiver trade deadline, and it has resulted in nine runs scored for Trout in just three games this weekend. The five-category stud will always get his when he is on a baseball diamond, but it certainly helps to have more protection surrounding him in the lineup. The 26-year-old superstar is slashing a career best .331/.464/.669 through 89 games this season.

Trout went 4-for-4 with a triple, a home run and four runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's first two hits went for a triple and a home run, putting him in a favorable position to hit for the cycle. The star center fielder collected two more hits in his final two plate appearances, but he fell a double short of a historic night. Trout showed no ill effects of the neck stiffness that cost him two starts this week, which is great news for fantasy owners and bad news for opposing pitchers.

Trout (neck) is starting in center field and batting second Wednesday against the Athletics, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was dealing with a stiff neck after colliding with the wall over the weekend, but the star center fielder is good to go for Wednesday's after sitting out the first two games of the series. The 26-year-old, who is slashing .318/.452/.646 with 26 homers and 15 stolen bases in 86 games this season, will face Kendall Graveman in his return to the lineup.

The Angels are hopeful that Trout (neck stiffness) can return to the lineup Wednesday against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's neck is still stiff from a play at the wall in Sunday's game, and while the Angels have an off day Thursday, they are in a tight race for the second AL Wild Card spot, so they will look to slot him in Wednesday if his health allows. Cameron Maybin and Ben Revere are starting in center field and left field, respectively.
