Angels place Mike Trout on 10-day IL (left ribcage inflammation), claim Phil Gosselin off waivers, outright Monte Harrison

[Tank]

this team . . . *sigh*

[CaliAngel]

Definitely frustrating but I'm curious as to what caused Trouts injury? 

Didn't seem to see anything during the game he was pulled, was this simply due to his last at bat?

And if he's aggravating his back (or ribs same thing right?) by just swinging, this seems like something that would be long term.

Just updating the medical directory.

Let’s not forget Day to Day = season over, @T.G..

I love that they put an Outfielder on the IL and grab an Infielder to take his spot on the roster.

Trout probably hurt himself shagging for the Angel's pitching staff.  Simple overuse.

So this is why we waived Criswell.

He was already off the 40-man by being on the 60 day IL, we never filled the 40-man spot that opened when we DFA'd Harrison

Trout has quit 

If true, isn't this the worst single event from this season?  Last year's calf strain.  What was that?  I've watched the play in which he injured his calf last May (also against the Dodgers) and I can barely see how he "strained" his calf.  It should have been called a complete tear considering he never played another game last season.  This year, back spasms, and now rib-cage inflammation?  Curious what's next.  

[Stradling]

Can we all grow up and not pretend Trout quit or no longer cares?  Can we just be above that as a community? Is that too much to ask?

[Stradling]

I mean the actual reality of the performance of the team is bad enough without the mouth breathing conspiracies.

Let's see how long this actually keeps him out, but I'm getting hints of Ben Simmons. Nebulous nagging injury that isn't obviously serious (like a fracture or torn ACL) but keeps flaring up indefinitely just enough to keep him out for long stretches of the season, to the point that it may be partially psychological.

And "ready by the next homestand" in April, May, or June = ASB.

[AngelsFaninGA]

I mean I guess we could discuss the triumphant return of Phil Gosselin instead

From Mike Trout today:

“I wanted to wait till Friday (in Atlanta) to see how I felt, but the right decision is to get it right and then come back,” Trout said, adding that this “is really day by day.”

Oh shit.

[Angel Oracle]

Is there any part of the body Trout hasn’t injured yet.

He is the modern day Mantle, in talent and injury issues.

[failos]

Hopefully this is just Trout not wanting to play in the ASG.

His vagina.

Trout needs to rest and get his body right for the World Baseball Classic in March.

No one can say that he’s given up or know where he’s at mentally but I think there is little argument against saying he is becoming injury prone.  They need to tell him he’s moving to a corner spot next year to try and help him stay healthy as much as they can. It’s not his choice.
