Trout (hamstring) is not in the lineup against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was originally expected to return by Tuesday, but it appears his tight hamstring is still acting up as the two-time MVP will take a seat for the fourth straight game. Cameron Maybin will again fill in for Trout in center field while Ben Revere gets the nod in left field.

Trout (hamstring) is not in the lineup Monday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Although a recent MRI conducted came back clean, the Angels will hold Trout out for his third straight game as it appears he isn't fully over a bout of hamstring tightness. Even though Trout remains sidelined, the Angels expect the two-time MVP to be back in action for Tuesday's contest against the A's. In the meantime, Cameron Maybin will take over in center field for Monday's game while Ben Revere slides to left field.

Trout (hamstring) expects to return to the Angels lineup no later than Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout sat out two games of the weekend with a tight left hamstring, but after an MRI conducted Sunday night came back clean, the two-time MVP doesn't anticipate missing much more action. While Trout is still unsure if he'll be ready to play in the series opener Monday, the Angels could still clear him for pinch-hitting duties if manager Mike Scioscia is uncomfortable deploying him in center field.

Trout (hamstring) expects to return to the lineup Monday in Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout is sitting his second straight game Sunday due to hamstring tightness, but from the sound of it, the move is mostly precautionary. Fantasy owners should have little-to-no qualms about deploying the perennial MVP candidate in their lineups in the upcoming week.

Trout (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros, MLB.com's Maria Guardado reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was a late scratch Saturday due to issues with hamstring tightness that also hampered him during the week. He won't be quite ready for a Sunday return, and fantasy owners may want to check back for news prior to Monday's series opener in Oakland. In the meantime, Cameron Maybin will once again shift over to center field while Ben Revere draws the start in left.

Trout was a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Astros, Julia Morales of ROOT Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout had been nursing a hamstring injury the past couple days, and although he was initially tabbed to start in center field Saturday, there are reports that he aggravated the ailment during warmups. More information on the injury should become apparent once he's examined further by team doctors. No new lineup has been released, but Cameron Maybin will slide over to center field to fill the void while Ben Revere mans left field.

Trout (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
A bout of hamstring tightness resulted in Trout's first absence of the season Thursday, but it seems the decision to hold him out was largely precautionary. Trout will return to center field and three-hole against lefty Dallas Keuchel as he looks to extend his career-long hitting streak to 17 games.

Trout, who is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, is dealing with hamstring tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was absent from the lineup Thursday for the first time all season, and the report of apparent hamstring tightness explains why. It's currently unclear how detrimental the hamstring tightness is and if he'll be forced to miss additional time. The star center fielder will be considered day-to-day for the time being. We should get a better idea of his injury status when the Angels release their lineup prior to Friday's contest against the Astros.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh off of being named American League Player of the Month, the two-time MVP went deep for the eighth time this season, bringing his on-base plus slugging percentage up to 1.169 in 29 games. Not only has Trout been hitting the ball with authority, but he has been making consistent contact as well, stretching his current hit streak to 16 games Wednesday.
