Angels outfielder s recovery timeline seems to be growing. Earlier this week, Sam Blum of The Athletic relayed that the Elijah Elliott Jersey superstar says he still hasnt started running and doesnt have a target for his return date. At the end of April, the Angels announced that Trout would require surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee. They didnt provide a recovery timeline but some reporters suggested a timeline of four to six weeks based on previous surgeries of this nature. Trouts surgery took place on May 3, seven weeks ago today. The fact that hes still not running suggests that hes nowhere close to a return. Even once he cro ses that bridge, he will have to gradually ramp up activities and will likely need some kind of rehab a signment after such a long layoff. Its the latest frustrating setback as the recent period of Trouts career has unfortunately come to be defined by injury absences. From 2012 to 2019, there was only one season in which Trout played le s than 134 games. He also played 53 out of the 60 games in the shortened 2020 season. But he hasnt hit the 120-game mark in any season since then and only got into more than 82 contests once. The 2021 season saw Trout hit the injured list with a right calf strain that lingered and lingered, limiting him to just 36 games that year. The following year, Trout was healthy enough for 119 games but did deal with some back problems. Last year, a left hamate fracture capped him at 82 games. This year, he was only able to get into 29 contests before the meniscus surgery and its anybodys gue s how much hell be able to add to that number later in the year. Those injuries have reduced the quantity of his playing but the quality has still been good. He has slashed .276/.376/.575 since the start of 2021 and has a line of .220/.325/.541 this year despite a .194 batting average on balls in play. But the mounting injuries are a significant problem for the organization. The Angels had two of the best players in the world on the same team for six years with Trout and both on the roster. But their attempts to build a winner around those two continually fell short, as the Halos havent even finished above .500 since 2015. Now Ohtani is gone, having reached free agency and signed with the Dodgers, while Trout has become an ongoing question mark. The Angels are one of the worst clubs in baseball this year, with a 29-45 record that is ahead of just four clubs. All in all, very little about the franchise is in good shape. In addition to the struggles at the major league level, most prospect evaluators rank their farm system as one of the worst. Owner Arte Moreno and its unclear when it will ramp up again. A lot of the money they are spending is tied up in Trout and , with each of them making more than $35MM annually while frequently injured. Rendons deal goes through 2026 and Trouts through 2030. Trout will reach his 33rd birthday in August of this year. Thomas Fitts Jersey
