Trout (thumb) is not in Monday's lineup against the Braves, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While he still awaits MRI results on his thumb, Trout will watch Monday's series opener from the sidelines. His timetable for return should become clearer once the results of his MRI are known.

Trout sprained his thumb Sunday against the Marlins and should be considered day-to-day.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays on Trout's thumb came back negative, which is good news, but the results of an MRI will indicate how severe of a sprain he's dealing with. As such, the star center fielder's timetable for returning to action remains unclear until the team releases the MRI results. Look for a status update on Trout prior to the start of Monday night's series opener against the Braves.

Trout left Sunday's game due to an apparent hand or thumb injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Any potential absence for Trout would be devastating for fantasy owners counting on his MVP-caliber production, but stay tuned for more information before hitting the panic button just yet. In the meantime, Ben Revere will enter the game in his place. Trout had been 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout prior to exiting.

Trout went 1-for-3 with his 15th home run of the season in Monday's win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's homer placed the Angels' slugger in a tie with Aaron Judge for the league lead in long balls with 15 on the year. In addition to the tremendous power, Trout has been filling the stat sheet for his fantasy owners with 33 runs, 35 RBI and nine steals while batting .342 through 42 games. It can be tough to digest the thought of the consensus top pick in fantasy this year exceeding his lofty expectations, but the 25-year-old appears to be doing just that with no signs of slowing down.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The perennial MVP candidate continues to pick apart opposing pitchers, especially since his return from a minor hamstring injury. He now has a blistering .348/.458/.741 slash line on the season, and is showing no signs of slowing up.

Trout's only hit in four at-bats was a three-run home run in Wednesday's 12-8 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After failing to record his fifth consecutive long ball Tuesday, the five-tool outfielder got back into the home run column in the sixth inning of Wednesday's contest. Trout has been on a tear since returning from a minor hamstring ailment, collecting five dingers and three steals in just seven games.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It was Trout's fourth straight game with a home run after he snapped his 17-game hitting streak at the end of last week. The superstar also became the first Angel to homer in four straight games since Mark Trumbo in May 2012. The two-time MVP looks completely fine after missing time with a hamstring ailment last week. He's now up to 12 home runs, 26 runs scored, 27 RBI and seven steals on the season.

Trout went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's 438-foot shot to left center in the seventh off Shane Green knotted the score at 2-2 at the time and was his second homer in as many games since returning from a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old now has three round-trippers overall in just six May games and has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 games.

Trout made his first start in center since returning from his hamstring injury, going 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Fantasy owners are grateful to have their top player back in the lineup, and it didn't take long for him to make an impact in the box score. Now that Trout's hamstring passed its final test by playing the field Friday, he will look to continue building on his impressive .336/.424/.681 slash line moving forward.

Despite going 0-for-4 in his return to the lineup Thursday, Trout insisted that he is "100 percent" when asked about his lingering hamstring injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two-time American League MVP missed five games with a tight hamstring, so fantasy owners were likely happy to see his return, even if it came with an 0-for-4 performance. Trout was the team's DH Thursday, but he should return to his usual spot in center sometime this weekend as the Angels prefer to use their DH spot for the aging Albert Pujols. The 25-year-old was slashing .355/.446/.700 prior to aggravating his hamstring, and barring a setback, he should resume his league-wide tour of punishing opposing pitchers in no time.
