Mike Trout Day To Day After Foot Procedure

By Jeff Todd | September 9, 2019 at 6:08pm CDT

6:07pm: Trout isn’t likely to be sidelined for more than a few days, but may require further offseason medical care to address the foot issue, per skipper Brad Ausmus (via Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group, on Twitter). There’s no concern that playing out the year will cause greater harm.

5:52pm: Angels superstar Mike Trout has undergone a cryoablation procedure on his right foot to “address a neuroma,” per a club announcement. He’s considered day-to-day.

In plain English, the procedure froze some nerve tissue that had been causing pain in or around Trout’s right toe. It is not entirely clear at this point how long the center fielder will be sidelined, but it seems that his own pain tolerance will largely dictate the recovery schedule.

All indications are that this non-invasive approach will not be much of a short or long-term limitation on the game’s greatest player. Medical literature suggests it can take a full month for such a procedure to be fully effective, but that full resumption of activity is possible within a few days.

The Halos will surely exercise caution, lest their franchise icon somehow come down with a more significant malady. Barring a surprise development, the procedure shouldn’t even ding Trout’s chances at securing an American League MVP award. (It’s no surprise that he’s easily pacing all of baseball with 8.7 fWAR to this point.)

      of course, the angels scouts will tell you trout would have been picked the spot above (i.e. the pick they got for k-rod), if they didn’t get the yanks pic (because according to them, trout was TOTALLY on their radar, they just wanted to save a few grand since he had supposedly agreed to sign for slot)

    No rush. Give him all the time he needs. We just need him back and 100% for next season anyway. Everything this month is just adding to the MVP award. Let’s hope he gets better pitching and help next season…

    If Trout sits a lot and he doesn’t lead the AL in anything other than BB, then does that open the door for Verlander to get some MVP votes?
    Verlander could lead the MLB in every major pitching stat; wins, ERA, SO, innings, WHIP, BAA. Plus, Verlander is on a contender. Plus, those stat counts will put his season on par with some of the best seasons ever.
    Just giving the award to Trout because he is a god of WAR does not make sense.

      verlander will get some mvp votes, regardless.

      i’m guessing you meant him getting some 1st place votes over trout (i could see him getting 1-2 of those, trout being out and/or verlander having a monster final few weeks could make that so)..

        I mean flat out, Verlander or even Bregman challenging Trout the MVP.
        Barry Bonds was the best player in the game for nearly two decades; however, he only won the MVP in the years he had the best season.
        Trout is in the same stratosphere as Barry Bonds but if Trout sits and doesn’t lead the league in the counting stats AND plays for a poop team, then a lot of first place MVP votes should be redirected to people who had better overall seasons.

        WAR is a highly flawed stat. For one thing, WAR gives too much credit to center field and not enough credit to SS and catcher.

          Every stat is highly flawed. That’s why they’re always working on it. You have it backwards, btw. WAR takes positional averages into account, so if you have a position like SS that is not particularly full of really high value talent, that factors into Andrelton Simmons having as high as a 7 WAR in 2017. It also shows us how valuable Mike Trout is, simply because it’s harder to get the WAR he gets with more really talented centerfielders than at SS.

    Shut him down for the year. The Angels have nothing to play for and nothing to gain by bringing him back for a few meaningless at bats at the risk of further injury.

        Trout is signed to essentially a career contract with the Angels. All sides have a lot at stake if there is any risk of the toe injury leading to something more serious.

    Angels might be the worst run team in all of MLB. Can’t develop or sign any decent starting pitchers. Spend way too much cheese signing over the hill hitters. Been mired in mediocrity for how long, a dozen or more years? Frankly, the Angels are so boring and blah, they make watching paint dry seem live a slam jam rock concert..

    Angels ought to do Trout a favor and trade him to an east coast team (Phillies?). If not, he’s gonna end up being one of the greatest players no one ever gets to see.

    Angel games start too late for most of the country to watch on TV. Angels suck, so they are rarely the game of choice for the TV networks, and finally, no exposure in the post season because the post season rarely includes the Angels.

      If Trout wanted to be on an east coast team he could have played out this season and be a FA. Obviously, that is not what he wanted. He signed the 12 years because he wanted to be an Angel for the remainder of the year.

      I agree that the Angels aren’t a well run franchise but they never expose their players to injury. As far as developing starting pitching, there are a majority of teams that have the same problem. There is a paucity of TOR starters and the majority of those were acquired by trade.
      As forTrout, he loves the game, he is incredibly competitive and would not sit out if he is able to play. You don’t become the best by sitting out.

      You went all the way to this thread just to say that? FYI, the Angels have been rebuilding their farm system for the past 4 years and the additions they make are either for the future or just fluff to at least have a somewhat competitive team. Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox all did the same thing. Every organization has their ups and downs. Angels still have a better track record than a lot of organizations over the last 40 years since their first playoff appearance in 1979, and especially over the last 25 years.

      PS: It’s been 20 years now since their last 90 loss season.
