Trout (wrist) isn't in the Angels' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout was held out of Game 1 due to lingering wrist soreness, and he'll now officially sit out both halves of Wednesday's twin bill. Mickey Moniak will fill in for Trout in center field and bat sixth.

Trout (wrist) is not in the lineup for the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout experienced lingering soreness in his surgically repaired left wrist after returning to the lineup Tuesday following a six-week stay on the injured list. He reportedly doesn't face any risk of a re-injury, but the 32-year-old superstar might have to play through some pain for a bit and could require regular days off as he rounds back into full strength. Randal Grichuk, Mickey Moniak and Hunter Renfroe are starting across the outfield for the Angels in the first half of Wednesday's twin bill. The Angels haven't ruled out Trout from starting during the nightcap.

Trout (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured and is batting second Tuesday against the Reds, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout says he is still dealing with soreness, but he felt the urgency to return with time running out on the season. It sounds like he'll be playing injured and playing regularly, but those plans could change if and when the Angels are officially eliminated from the AL Wild Card picture.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Trout (wrist) could be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout could have returned Monday, but he will have to wait at least one more day after the Angels' scheduled matchup with the Reds was postponed due to effects of Hurricane Hilary on the West Coast. Nevin didn't guarantee that Trout would be activated Tuesday, but fellow outfielder Jordyn Adams was optioned Sunday. With that in mind, if all checks out with Trout's wrist when he's re-evaluated Tuesday, it seems more likely than not that he will rejoin the roster ahead of the series opener with Cincinnati.

Trout (wrist) could be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener against the Reds, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels optioned Jordyn Adams to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, and as Blum notes, the move seemingly paves the way for Trout to return to action. Trout already appeared to be close to returning after taking swings in an indoor batting cage over the weekend, and the Adams demotion is another strong sign that the star center fielder is ready to be activated. Fantasy managers in weekly lineup leagues should plan accordingly.

Trout (wrist) took swings in an indoor batting cage Saturday and is "very close to returning," per the Associated Press.

EDGE Analysis

Trout progressed to facing live pitching Thursday and experienced some soreness afterward, but he went right back to swinging a bat Saturday. That bodes well for his chances of being activated from the injured list in the near future, perhaps as soon as Monday, when the Angels are slated to start a three-game home set versus Cincinnati. The team is taking a "wait-and-see" approach with Trout for the time being, per MLB.com, with manager Phil Nevin calling the slugger's status "a day-to-day thing."

Trout (wrist) faced live pitching Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first time doing so since he fractured the hamate bone in his left wrist in early July. Trout was still experiencing some lingering discomfort as of Tuesday, but Fletcher notes that the 32-year-old outfielder could be activated from the injured list "any day now" -- maybe after just a couple more live BP workouts.

Trout (wrist) may begin facing live pitching this week, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has been hitting off a machine for about a week, and it now appears that he's on the verge of facing live pitching for the first time since suffering a hamate bone fracture in his left wrist in early July. The star outfielder recently said that he's still feeling pain in the wrist but expressed optimism in his progress and indicated that he believes he's getting closer to returning to the field. The Angels have been patient with Trout's recovery, though they could certainly use the boost that his return to the lineup would bring, as the team currently sits seven games out of a wild-card spot in the American League.

Trout still has some pain in his left wrist and remains without a timetable for a return, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout has made progress in his recovery from a hamate bone fracture over the first half of August, moving from dry swings to hitting soft toss before advancing to taking contact swings against a pitching machine. However, he indicated Monday that he's not yet hitting full-velocity pitches and that he's still experiencing some pain, though he added that he's experiencing daily improvement. The Angels currently sit seven games out of a wild-card spot in the American League and could certainly use Trout's bat in the lineup, but they are unlikely to rush him back into action. Jalyn Smoot of MLB.com reports that the superstar outfielder's return will depend on pain tolerance and that Trout feels that he's getting closer to getting back on the field. "I'm feeling better every day," Trout said. "I'm getting more confident with my swing. Once it gets to a point where the pain is bearable, I'll be out there."

Trout (wrist) began hitting against a pitching machine Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trout will only face machine-thrown breaking balls initially, but he should soon advance to hitting high-velocity fastballs as he continues to work back from the hamate bone fracture that has kept him sidelined since early July. If his surgically-repaired wrist responds well to this uptick in activity, the Angels can then begin plotting out a date for his return.
