Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout could return to the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger reports.
Trout will face live pitching at the Angels’ spring training complex in Arizona and is expected to start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Bollinger adds.
The 32-year-old has been out of action since April 29 and underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on May 3.
Trout has dealt with injuries for several seasons, appearing in more than 100 games only once since 2019. He hit 10 home runs with 14 RBIs, six stolen bases, and a .866 OPS in 109 at-bats this season before the injury.
