Mike Trout went 4-for-4 with two walks, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win against the Rangers.
Trout looks at home in the No. 3 spot in the order, where he's been moved since Albert Pujols' injury. Trout has walked and scored a run in all four games since Saturday, the day of the move. The fantasy monster is on pace for 26 homers, 35 steals and 102 RBI.

Mike Trout will get an extended look in the No. 3 spot in the lineup.
Albert Pujols' left plantar fascia, which might end his season, opened the spot for Trout, who hit third for the first time in his career Saturday. Angels manager Mike Scioscia alluded to the move's primary benefit for fantasy owners: Increased RBI opportunities. Trout's fantasy value doesn't figure to increase much by the move; batting mostly second, he saw only one fewer at-bat with runners in scoring position than Pujols, who led the team.

Mike Trout hit his 15th home run of the season in Sunday night's win over the Red Sox.
Trout homered off John Lackey in the first inning and later added a walk in the eighth. It was his second straight game with a home run after going 2-for-5 with a solo homer on Saturday. Trout missed time earlier this week due to a hamstring injury, but it was never a major concern and shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

Mike Trout is dealing with a minor hamstring issue.
"You'd never know it watching," manager Mike Scioscia said. It's part of the reason why Trout is getting his first day off of the season Sunday. The Angels don't think it's a big deal, though. Trout seems likely to be back in there after the off day Monday.
