Angels close Mike Trout for rest of season

by

Mike Trout’s season is over as the Los Angeles Angels are shutting down their superstar center fielder due to a calf strain that has hampered him for more than four months.

Trout said Saturday that he will not play in any of the Angels’ last eight games.

“It’s been tough for me, but now looking back and learning from everything, this was the biggest injury of my career,” Trout said.

“It all came down to us testing the entire last month and a half to get back there. My calf and my body were not cooperating. It was frustrating. I took a week, two and a half weeks off and feel almost 100 percent. “

Trout, a three-time AL MVP, suffered a calf strain on May 17 and was expected to miss 6-8 weeks. He was hitting .333 / .466 / .624 with eight home runs and 18 RBIs at the time.

For his career, the 30-year-old Trout has a .305 / .419 / .583 line with 310 home runs in 11 major league seasons. He won the AL MVP in 2014, 2016 and 2019.
