Trout hit a solo home run and walked twice in a 1-for-2 game Monday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Trout is up to 23 home runs, but still remains well off the pace he set last year when he mashed 41 in 159 games. However, Trout's plate discipline this year has been better than ever. He now has 80 walks against 99 strikeouts, and his 16.0 percent walk rate is a career high, powering his amazing .426 OBP.

Trout is in Monday's lineup against the Mariners, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Trout is starting in center field and batting third after having the day off Sunday. He'll face off against Felix Hernandez as Los Angeles begins their series against a Seattle team that's won eight of their last 10 games.

Trout is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
With Saturday's game ending around 12:30 a.m. local time, Angels manager Mike Scioscia will just be giving Trout a rest due to the quick turnaround Sunday afternoon. Since returning from an illness last week that kept him out of the lineup for one game, Trout has gone just 6-for-27 (.222 average) at the dish, but three of those hits have been homers. Nick Buss will cover center field Sunday while Trout rests.

Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo shot and a walk in Thursday's loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was able to knock one out against Corey Kluber in the first inning, but that mattered little in a game in which the Indians put up 14 runs. The former AL MVP is having yet another phenomenal season, despite hitting under .300 in August.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a homer, a triple and four RBI in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Trout launched a three-run shot in the first inning for the second consecutive game Saturday, but was once again unable to carry the Angels to victory. Trout is pushing hard to once again by in the AL MVP conversation, having logged a .319/.431/.560 batting line with 21 homers and 74 RBI.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels looked poised to jump all over Felix Hernandez after Trout's quick strike in the first inning, but the former Cy Young Award winner closed shop thereafter, allowing just one hit over the next 26 batters. Trout is on his way to another fantastic finish, having tallied a .316/.428/.547 batting line with 20 long balls in 109 games.

Trout (illness) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
An illness kept the Angels' star center fielder out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the A's, but one day off was enough for Trout to feel better and draw back into the order. He'll reclaim his usual spot as the starting center fielder and as the No. 3 hitter in the Angels lineup. He'll be facing Seattle ace Felix Hernandez, against whom Trout has a career .375/.405/.694 slash line with five home runs across 72 at-bats.

Trout (illness) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Trout will take a day off as he's been batting a head cold for the past couple of days, after he said that he was "struggling with it yesterday." The 24-year-old rarely misses games and will be out of the lineup for the first time since July 5. In his place, the Angels will start Shane Robinson in center.

Trout went 3-for-5 with one RBI and scored twice in Wednesday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Trout has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, raising his average five points over that span. On the other hand, all but one of those hits have been singles. Trout is without a homer in his last 14 games, which has dropped the outfielder's slugging percentage down 25 points during that stretch. He might be able to rectify that situation when he faces A's starter Jesse Hahn on Thursday. In seven career plate appearances against Hahn, Trout is 2-for-4 with three walks and a home run.

Trout homered, scored twice and knocked in three runs in a win Monday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Trout busted out of a mini-slump, as he was just 3-for-17 (but with two walks and two doubles) in his past five games. At .319/.424/.567, Trout is playing at an MVP level, but unfortunately his teammates are likely to keep him out of award consideration, much like they did in 2012, 2013 and 2015.
