Trout will not be ready to return when eligible to come off the IL

Trout was nice while it lasted.

Trout is easily my favorite player, but when can we schedule the vaginal reconstructive surgery? It’s difficult to understand how he’s constantly hurt for extended periods of time over seemingly random injuries. 
 

im going to venture to guess he has a Torn oblique and they are calling it a rib injury. Cortisone wouldn’t have been used for an injured rib. 

Trout is "officially" injury prone. I highly doubt he ever plays in 150 games in a season again. We'll be lucky if he consistently plays in 130-140.

I think sometimes it is genetic, sometimes it is training related. I've been saying for several years now that he should lift less weights and take up yoga. Yoga bodies don't get injured as much as weight-lifting bodies. And of course it doesn't have to be either/or.

He's already missed 18 games this year - that's almost 19% of the team's games.

I would imagine it’s training related. He’s bulked up so much that, like you said, he’s lost that flexibility.

What made Trout such a great hitter is his wonderfully compact and quick swing and his understanding of the hitting zone. He did not need to become the incredible hulk. His body is now breaking down from all the extreme workouts. It's sad.

This is what I said in a previous thread.  He's too muscular.

At this point I wouldn’t hesitate to call him injury prone except it would probably hurt his feelings.

And we would all expect him to be upset for a couple of days, but somehow it would bother him for the rest of the season.

"...start doing more activity"

What, like bending over to tie his shoes?!

This is absurd. Take August off to rest, and come back in September. It's not like he's a critical piece at this point.

Who wants to tell @fan_since79?

He's done. 

There is absolutely no way he is done.  People also said that Kershaw was done, he is now as good as he ever was.  We aren't dealing with Pujols, Wells, Mathews here; Trout is special and he will fight back hard.

he should become a vegetarian.

Well there you go.  That explains it.
