Trout? Yes.

Who knows, maybe it is just a pinched nerve or pulled tendon. Either way we won't see him until after the ASB at best.

It's Trout. I'm putting the over/under for his return as Labor Day.

Let me guess.

Trout out until August 1

But September 1 in actuality.

I'm not sure I even care. He's been ice cold and it makes no difference to our already dismal offense

that's hilarious !!! i agree (trout saved himself from the most strikeouts in mlb this year)...this team has just been cursed since a drunk driver killed adenhart !!

Well, at least I now know what a hamate bone is.

Why? This should just allow Moniak to be an everyday starter.

[Slegnaac]

Starter gives up 4

Arson squad gives up 6

No he's not. He's been hitting the ball quite well for the last two weeks. Last 15 games: .333/.438/.648.

This is disastrous. There's no version of the 2023 Angels that makes the playoffs without Trout, unless Adell channels Hank Aaron.

Pathetic offense scores 3, so I guess what the Arson squad did is irrelevant.

The Angels need four outfielders. It is a perfect opportunity for Adell to be called up.

[PattyD22]

2 AB’s too late Renfroe.  Sure could have used a hit like that a few AB’s ago

Who's their worst outfielder in AAA? That's who's getting called up. Or we bring Steven Duggar back

But Adell shouldn't be playing everyday, unless it's instead of Ward. And oh my that sounds juicy but it won't happen... they love Ward.

Renfroe in right, Moniak in center, Ward in left, Adell 4th. Can't really channel Hank Aaron on the bench.

Looks like a mercifully brief ninth.

Leave it to Rengifo to keep it going. 

[VladdyforHOF]

Throw Renfroe into the Ohtani package and have Adell play every day, see what he can do. Season is over.

I'm not saying it is going to happen (Adell channeling Aaron) - but that's my point. This team needs the good version of Trout to win. Even with the good version over the last two weeks they've been terrible.

[Duren, Duren]

Urshela and Drury were real pros. And put in tough at bats. Big losses.

FS1 hasn't shown the pitch clock all night.

[VladdyforHOF]

So who do we want for Ohtani now?
