Trout went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a double in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The perennial All-Star did also strike out twice but continued his hot start to the season with another pair of hits, including an RBI single that plated Yunel Escobar in the fifth. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Trout already has four extra-base hits (two doubles, one triple, one home run) and has racked up four RBI over the first three games of the season.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 4-2 loss to the A's on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

The two-time American League MVP didn't disappoint in the season opener. Trout, in his seventh season in the big leagues, is primed to post big-time numbers yet again in 2017. He was likely the first overall pick in most fantasy drafts, and for good reason. Along with 29 home runs last year, Trout returned to the 30-steal mark for the first time since 2013. His fantasy owners are hoping he continues to run in 2017.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Despite it being early in the spring campaign, Trout already seems locked in at the plate. The reigning AL MVP is slashing .308/.500/.538 in 17 plate appearances. The power hasn't arrived yet, but he should be showcasing that aspect of his game soon, considering he smashed 15 homers over his last three spring training campaigns. Fantasy owners will only be concerning themselves with Trout's health, as he has nothing to prove at the plate after establishing himself as an elite fantasy option over the past five seasons.

Trout said that he would like to get back to 40 steals this season, the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout saw his steals decrease exponentially after accruing 49 in his breakout campaign in 2012. They got as low as 11 in 2015 before bouncing back with 30 steals last season. The two-time AL MVP is looking to continue that trend in 2016 with 40 being the goal he set for himself this spring training. We all know Trout has the athleticism to pull it off, but stolen bases are largely dictated by a team's coaches and also are affected by where a player bats in the order. If he were to attain his goal, he would have the potential to be the fifth member of the elite 40-40 club (he hit 41 homers in 2015). It's a stretch to project he will attain that milestone, but the fact that it is even plausible is what makes Trout easily one of the top fantasy options heading into the regular season.

Trout was named the American League MVP by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

EDGE Analysis

There was some speculation that Trout might narrowly miss out on yet another MVP award, but in the end, the AL's best player received his proper recognition. Mookie Betts and Jose Altuve came in second and third in the voting, respectively. Trout hit .315/.441/.550 with 29 homers, 100 RBI, 123 runs scored and 30 steals, and figures to be the consensus top pick in drafts next spring.

Trout went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to finishing the regular season with a .315/.441/.550 slash line, Trout rounded off his counting stats nicely by picking up his 100th RBI and 30th stolen base Sunday, to go along with 29 home runs and 123 runs scored. The perennial MVP candidate will once again be a strong consideration for the top pick in fantasy drafts in 2017.

Trout (shoulder) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Eric Kay of the Angels reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout injured his shoulder in the Angels' last game Wednesday and was removed early. His setback will not prevent him from playing in Friday's game, but he will be used as the designated hitter to prevent him from having to throw. He will hit second in the Angels' batting order against Astros starter Brad Peacock.

Trout (shoulder) is expected to play Friday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was lifted for a pinch runner after being hit on the shoulder by a pitch in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game. Fortunately, X-rays were negative and Trout is expected to return without missing a start, but his status for Friday won't be confirmed until the Angels' lineup is released a few hours prior to first pitch.

Trout hit a solo homer and walked twice in a 2-for-2 game Monday against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has a ridiculous 21:19 BB:K in 23 games this season as he has continued to demolish American League pitching even as his Angels limp to the finish line. He owns a .312/.465/.545 line with four home runs and six stolen bases to close the season, neatly in line with his .318/.441/.560 marks for the full season. Trout's team may be eliminated, but he still deserves consideration for MVP honors with his performance.

Trout went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and three runs in a 10-4 victory over the Astros on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After a hot August, Trout has hit .294 and posted a .943 OPS in September, but he is 3-for-6 in the series versus Houston. Trout has also been very patient lately, walking eight times in the last five games. He is slashing .318/.440/.557 with 28 home runs, 97 RBI and 120 runs in 528 at-bats this season.
