Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Friday, with hopes of returning to the field later this season. The three-time AL MVP had a partial medial menisectomy procedure in California and will begin his rehab process in Anaheim.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that Trout has faced a significant injury, but Angels manager Ron Washington remains optimistic about his recovery. “When they went in, it was exactly what we said it was and nothing else,” Washington said. “So we’re all good.”
Trout, who was leading the majors with 10 home runs before his injury, expressed frustration at being sidelined once again. However, Washington assured him of the team’s support and encouraged him to focus on his rehabilitation.
The 32-year-old outfielder has faced injury setbacks in recent seasons, including a strained calf in 2021 and a back injury in 2022. Despite these challenges, Trout remains a key player for the Angels and is determined to make a strong comeback.
As Trout begins his recovery journey, fans and teammates alike are eagerly awaiting his return to the lineup. With his talent and determination, there’s no doubt that Trout will bounce back stronger than ever.
