Unsure about return timeline
Trout said Thursday that he doesn't yet have a timeline to return from the surgery he underwent on his left knee, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Trout also stated that he was given the option to postpone surgery until after the season and play exclusively as a designated hitter, but he opted to immediately get surgery May 3 to repair the meniscus in his left knee. The three-time American League MVP is still expected to return from the injured list before the end of the season, but it remains unclear exactly how much time he's expected to miss. Though Trout could have played through the injury and held off on surgery in order to serve as the Angels' DH, he may not have been able to do so at his usual level of effectiveness, as he indicated that such a route would have required a high level of injury management and substantial pain.
