OC Register: Mike Trout out of Angels lineup after getting hit by a pitch

[AngelsWin.com]

ARLINGTON, Texas — Mike Trout was out of the Angels lineup on Wednesday, a day after he was hit in the leg by a pitch.

Manager Mike Scioscia said Trout’s calf was still “tight.” He hoped that after the team’s scheduled day off on Thursday, Trout could return to the lineup on Friday in Chicago.

Trout was hit by a Mike Minor pitch in the first inning on Tuesday, but he remained in the game.

UPTON UPDATE

Justin Upton played some catch on Wednesday, as he slowly resumes activity following a few days off in the wake of the concussion he suffered on Saturday.

“I’m just moving around and doing normal stuff,” Upton said. “The last few days I just sat around and did nothing. I’m starting to function like a normal person again.”

Upton said he’s hoping he’ll be able to return to the lineup on Friday.

The Angels recalled Deck McGuire, bringing their active roster to 33 players. They are expected to recall at least two more, left-hander Williams Jerez and right-hander Luke Farrell. …

The Angels’ Double-A affiliate, which has played in Mobile, Ala., is moving to Madison, Ala., and changing its name to the Rocket City Trash Pandas in 2020.
