Mike Trout is set to undergo knee surgery, but it is not expected to end his season.

Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout is facing a setback in his stellar season as he deals with a torn meniscus in his knee that will require surgery. The injury, reported by The Athletic’s Sam Blum, has put Trout’s MVP-caliber campaign on hold indefinitely.

Trout, who is currently tied for the MLB lead in home runs with 10, has been a key player for the Angels this season. However, with this injury, the team will have to find a way to cope without their star player on the field.

This is not the first time Trout has faced significant time off due to injury in recent years. Despite his impressive performance when healthy, Trout has missed a significant number of games since 2020 due to various injuries.

The Angels are already without another key player, Anthony Rendon, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain. With Trout now facing a lengthy absence, the team will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by their injured stars.

The future looks uncertain for the Angels, especially with their farm system ranked last in the league. With Trout’s massive contract still on the books, the team will have to navigate through this challenging period without their star player leading the way.

As Trout begins his road to recovery, the Angels will have to find a way to stay competitive in a tough AL West division without their standout outfielder.
