Angels Transfer Mike Trout To 60-Day Injured List

By Anthony Franco | June 28, 2021 at 4:26pm CDT

The Angels are planning to transfer superstar outfielder Mike Trout from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list, manager Joe Maddon told reporters (including Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times and Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register). The move will create 40-man roster space for the previously-reported selection of outfielder Scott Schebler.

There’s no cause for alarm, as Trout’s transfer is largely a procedural move. He’s ruled out for sixty days from the date of his original IL placement- May 18- not from here on out. He’ll be eligible to return on July 17.

Trout is progressing well from a right calf strain, Maddon said today. He’s begun taking swings in the batting cage, and the team expects he’ll embark on a minor league rehab assignment some time around the July 12-15 All-Star Break. When Trout first went down, the prognosis was he’d miss six-to-eight weeks, so it seems he’s on pace to return just after that projected timetable. Before the injury, the game’s top player was off to perhaps the best start of his career. Trout has a .333/.466/.624 line through 146 plate appearances this season.

    The Angels are not very good at DFAing players. This is the second time that a player was on their roster, then DFA’d, only to have their contract selected a month later. Jon Jay went through this process in May and now Scott Schebler.

          Ohtani had been throwing for three months, I wrote a pitcher who was throwing in 80s after three months is troubling,

          It lasted less than a few days. Go read the thread.

          When something is unexpected, especially after an injury, it’s troubling.

          Full panic mode? You completely made that up. If Trout comes back and has no issues running, are you going to write I was in full panic mode.

          I was in full panic mode regarding the bullpen… no one else seemed to be.

        Because I learned from rotowire Saturday he’s not even jogging yet.

        If that’s true, it’s troubling. He’s a month away which puts him past the 6 to 8 week estimate.

        Speaking of Mike Trout, I absolutely despise watching this Yankees ballclub play, man.

        Hideous style of baseball.
        Made even worse when we struggle.

        Remember how easy it was to love & root for this club in ’17? Mercy. I am having a tough time not hating this team.

        So, yeah.

          @Ducky I was flipping through MLB.tv lsst night and I took a greater interest in watching the BOS-KC game. I don’t see a way the Yankees can dig themselves out of this hole the way the roster is constructed while under payroll constraints this year. Firing Boone, which I’m not opposed to, isn’t going to fix this. Getting swept by Detroit a few weeks ago pretty much cemented my feelings about this team.

          Ohhh, don’t you dare quit on me, bro.

          I am firmly convinced this is still a wild card contending team. Tough break(s) regarding Sevy & Klubers setbacks. Hoping we will still see them at some point.

          I’m completely for a change at batting coach.

          But we are now up to one hitter with an OPS over .900 & an aggregate 5 with an OPS above league average. & I have faith Voit will join that group soon.

          My biggest concern offensively is the regression we are seeing from Gleyber & Frazier. These were supposed to have been core players. But they are stinking the place up. & CF needs to be addressed ASAP.

          Our ‘pen is fire & we have a true ace.
          We are certainly flawed & play a brutal style of ball aesthetically. We are definitely in a funk but I refuse to give up on the season/postseason aspirations. Please join me, bro.

      Maybe he is or he isn’t, but the time frame is not off by much, so far. 8 weeks from the last game played would take him to July 9th. And not they are talking about returning after the AS break, which starts on July 12th.

          Right ! If there is any chance u can have mike trout in your line up 4 days or more- u 100% don’t put him on the 60 day. It’s Mike Trout !

        • WorstThrowEver

          2 years ago

          8 weeks from his injury would be July 13, which is the first day of the ASB. Putting him on the 60-day sacrifices 1 potential game where he might have been back but opens up a 40 man roster spot. You’re acting like Trout has basically lost his leg because the estimates the team gave 40 days ago were off by 1-2 games lmao.

        • Halo11Fan

          Talk about hyperbole. I’m talking like a player is going to take longer than the expected maximum to return from an injury. On what planet is that not a concern?

        @Joe- Rendon isn’t tradeable today w/out eating a bunch of the money making it likely a net neutral proposition at best –

        They just need to treat him like a show dog these days and have him healthy when/if the games ever really mean a little more for the Angels-

    He’s the franchise and this year is already another lost one. No need to rush the franchise back from injury.

    That said, I can’t wait to see Ohtani and Trout hitting back to back next month.

      Fletcher, Ohtani, Trout, Rendon, Walsh, Stassi and Upton are a solid 1-7 this year and next.

      Ohtani, Canning, Rodriguez, Sandoval, Suarez, Detmers and Barria are a solid beginning to a rotation that needs 9+ options. But at least one of the off season additions needs to join Ohtani as a TOR arm for the Angels to be successful next season.

      And a couple of RP wouldn’t hurt…

        You don’t need two top of the rotation arms to be successful. You need a rotation ERA around 4. This is what so many can’t seem to grasp about the angels.

        The Angles don’t look good right now. Under .500… lost? Can’t say that, but it doesn’t look good. The Angels’ approach to starting pitching hasn’t worked much. Not this year or the last few. I’m not seeing the reasons for your optimism.

    All soft tissue (muscle tears) heal with scar tissue that is non elastic and re-tears easily. The goal is to minimize the scar tissue and strengthen muscle fibers around the tear. He probably should not go all out to first any longer. The muscle will be prone to re-injury. Retired Athletic Trainer.

    The Angels need to fire the entire front office for the embarrassingly deficient teams they’ve created around the greatest player in the history of the game… they’ve wasted his 20’s by having garbage pitching year after year, instead shooting themselves in the foot with Rendon’s monstrous bad contract, as if having learnt nothing from the Pujols debacle.

    I think getting Mike back next month will be the best non trade any team can make. He should be rested and ready to mash with Shohei. Now if we can stay within or a few games over .500 then no reason to think we can’t have a shot at the wild card. I’ll be going to the 7/18 game to end my Batchelor party weekend and hope I can see him back in the line up! Cause there is no player like him. Well…except maybe for Ohtani now
