Trout went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels would need every bit of the four-run lead Trout's 28th home run provided them, as the Rangers cut the deficit to one before being turned away in the ninth inning by Andrew Bailey. Trout, who currently sports a .318/.437/.559 batting line with 28 home runs and 26 stolen bases, has once again worked his way into the AL MVP discussion.

Trout went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and his 26th stolen base of the season Saturday versus Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Trout recorded his second straight multi-hit game, boosting his career-best on base percentage to .434. The 25-year-old has been given license to run more this year, as he has reached his highest total number of swipes since the 2013 season, although his power has regressed slightly as well. Regardless, Trout is a multi-category fantasy star and continues to produce despite a lackluster cast of characters around him.

Trout is out of the lineup Wednesday against the A's, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels will deploy their junior varsity lineup Wednesday, with Albert Pujols also getting the day off. Trout has now received off days in back-to-back weeks with the Angels well out of the playoff picture. Nick Buss, Shane Robinson and Rafael Ortega will patrol the outfield Wednesday.

Trout finished 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a pair of walks in Friday's game versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was playing for the first time since being involved in a car crash that injured two people on Wednesday, but he showed no signs of a carry-over effect, as he homered in his first at-bat to give his club the lead. He came up as the tying man in the ninth inning and sent a fly ball to deep center, but Safeco Field was just large enough to hold him to a long flyout. Trout's efforts might be underappreciated due to the Angels' poor record, but he is having another terrific season and is now up to 26 home runs, 87 RBI and 103 runs to go along with a career-high 1.005 OPS.

Trout is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Angels VP of Comm. Tim Mead reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was involved in a car accident Wednesday night, but he was not injured in the collision, and it appears he does not have any lingering effects from the crash. Trout will man center field Friday like he usually does, and will hit third in the Angels' batting order.

Trout was involved in a two-vehicle car crash Wednesday night in Santa Ana, Calif. but came away uninjured, Scott Schwebke of the Orange County Register reports. "I have spoken with Mike [on Wednesday evening] and he feels fine," Angels GM Billy Eppler said. "He is at home with his roommate and is planning on traveling with the club to Seattle [Thursday afternoon]. We will update as more information becomes available."
EDGE Analysis
The accident occurred at 8:50 p.m. local time, a few hours after the completion of the Angels' 3-0 win over the Reds. Though Trout's vehicle sustained damage, he was able to escape unharmed, though two people involved in the accident did sustain injuries. Incidentally, Trout received Wednesday's game off for rest, but since he's been cleared to travel with the Angels, it doesn't look as though he'll miss any further time.

Trout is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has continued to dominate at the plate, as he hit .349/.486/.651 for the month of August. However, he'll have a rare night off as Rafael Ortega heads to center field. The Angels don't play Thursday, so Trout should return to his normal spot Friday when they head to Seattle to face the Mariners.

Trout went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer, a walk, and two runs scored Monday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Trout showed why he's arguably the best player in baseball by demonstrating his elite combination of patience and power. He has now hit at least 25 homers in each of the last five seasons, and a third straight 30-homer campaign is well in reach with 31 games to play. Trout's .316/.434/.556 line is right in line with expectations.

Trout went 3-for-4 with four RBI and scored a run in Thursday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Trout extended his hitting streak to four game with his second straight three-hit performance. After seeing his average dip slightly during the middle of the month, the All-Star outfield has gotten back on track over the past week. Trout has gone 10-for-22 over the last six games to boost his average back up .316, its highest mark since Aug. 7.

Trout went 3-for-5 with a walk, double, a solo home run, and a pair of runs scored in the Angels' 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was Trout's 24th of the season, coming in the top of the first to set the tone for the Angels, who scored five runs over the first two innings. While Trout's success has come often this season, hitting .312 and stealing 21 bases in addition to the 20+ home runs, the Angels have struggled as a team, going 53-73. Despite their struggles, Trout has still managed to score 92 runs, fourth most in the MLB this season. Even on a bad team, Trout remains arguably the most consistent fantasy performer in the MLB.
