Mike Trout (finger) is back in Tuesday's lineup against the Indians. Trout was held out of the starting lineup Monday with a jammed right pinkie finger, but he did appear as a pinch-runner during the game. It shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

X-rays on Mike Trout's right pinkie finger have come back negative. Angels fans can exhale. Trout injured the finger on a slide into second base during Sunday's game and is not playing Monday, but it sounds like he'll be back out there soon enough. Peter Bourjos is handling center field against the Indians.

Mike Trout homered, doubled, drew a walk and scored a pair of runs in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Blue Jays. Just another day at the office for Los Angeles' All Star, who is now hitting .339/.395/.542 through his first 57 games this season. He's reached base 104 times, driven in 33 runs and swiped 22 bases.

Mike Trout went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and four runs scored in Tuesday's 12-5 win against the Giants. After Los Angeles blitzed Barry Zito, the hungry Angels offense got to feast off the drek of San Francisco's bullpen. Trout, the 20-years-old sensation, was amongst those who capitalized. Although the American League leader in stolen bases, with 19, didn't swipe a bag, he raised his slash line to a tremendous .337/.397/.532. The hype is real.

Mike Trout went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three stolen bases in Monday's loss to the Giants. Impressively, Trout now leads the American League with 19 stolen bases, even though he spent a month in the minor leagues and has played in just 46 games. His .323/.383/.511 would be tremendous for any player, let alone someone who's just 20-years-old. He surely looks poised for super-stardom.

Mike Trout homered, singled in a run and scored the Angels' go-ahead run in the ninth Monday in a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Albert Pujols had the RBI single that gave the Angels the lead, but Trout was the story tonight. After drawing a walk to lead off the ninth, he stole second, putting himself in position to score. He ended up with two steals on the night, giving him 15 on the season. He'll probably slump at some point, but for the last month and a half, he's been about as valuable as any player in the AL.

Mike Trout had a triple and a single to drive in three of the Angels' runs Friday in a 4-2 defeat of the Rangers. It's going to be a fun Rookie of the Year race in the AL. Trout is hitting .309, and even though he's been used exclusively as a leadoff hitter, he's driven in 19 runs in 31 games.

Mike Trout went 1-for-3 with two steals in Sunday's 4-2 win over Seattle. Trout has cooled off a bit since his last home run on May 20, batting 5-for-30 (.167) with eight strikeouts and zero RBI. However, he continues to find ways to produce at the top of the lineup, and is now 8-for-10 in steals.

Mike Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks, two runs scored and two stolen bases Sunday against the Padres. The stat line barely does it justice, as Trout's third hit came on a routine grounder to the shortstop that he simply beat out in the 10th inning. He then promptly stole second. He was intentionally walked in the 11th. The Angels' super prospect is now batting .355/.420/.605 to go along with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and six steals through only 20 starts. He's the real deal and more.
