Still no Trout, but he took BP today and will try to run today in hopes of him playing tomorrow against the Tigers. 

No Pujols either in this one. 

I'm calling either 0 runs scored or 10. 

[Angels#1Fan]

Great line-up. [/sarcasm]

Jesse Chavez on the mound.

[Angelsfan1984]

I will never understand what goes through Scioscias mind as he puts lineups together.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

No Trout, Pujols or Maldonado. Chavez is thinking to himself  "I'm screwed".

[Angel Oracle]

All I ask for is "no Middleton in the 9th inning", regardless of the score.   Let him get used to MLB, before putting him in that spot. 

[fan_since79]

Well, Mike Trout had a good career while it lasted.

 

[Blarg]

Just what I was worried about. Trout was infected Hamilwilsonitist and will spend the rest of his contract on the DL.

[TroutField]

Didn't they say Trout would be ready to go yesterday? Now he won't play until Thursday. What is with this team and injuries? 

[eligrba4ever]

GO HALOS!!!! Go Jesse Chavez!!!

Turn Tuesday's win into a streak and take the series from the A's!!!

Go Yunel, Albert, Simba, Kole and the rest!!!! Pick up the Trout-less offensive slack again!!!

Go Mike Trout!!! The skipper says you're doing agility drills today. Don't hurt yourself and be ready to play Thursday!!

I LOVE exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This emoji looks like a friend of Kyle's from South Park Elementary!!!!!!!

I love your enthusiasm and spirit, @eligrba4ever. Keep it up!

LOL, Hackilton's MLB career is deader than South Park's Kenny.

Medical and training staff seem to be a little off. 

[Blarg]

Yesterday they said he completed batting practice and today should start testing the hamstring running. I'm in no hurry to see him in the lineup if that means a chance to reinjure it and be out months.

[Ohtaniland]

Tragic lineup 

[nando714]

Why don't they just place Trout on the DL. He hasn't played since Saturday. They be without him till about Monday?

It's just a cramp. Nothing to worry about said Garrett Richards. 

[fan_since79]

"Agility drills"??

Now I've heard everything. This team and its injuries...

 

[T.G.]

They've got this.

Yeah, we'll call up one of our can't miss minor league prospects.  We won't skip a beat.

^^^This^^^....Just wasting a roster spot....

[Angel Oracle]

Plus there's a new rule that a player can only be retroactively put on the DL a max of 3 games back.

So if Trout went on the DL after today, the DL stint would start on this past Monday instead of this past Saturday.
