Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout says he expects to return from a hamstring injury as early as next week. Trout believes his recovery is on track to allow him to play in the team’s early-week games, with the potential to be ready for the MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia later this month. The Angels’ manager Kurt Suzuki also indicates that Trout’s progress is consistent with a possible early return, saying he looks good.
The reports frame Trout’s status as optimistic but based on his current rehabilitation progress. While no specific date for his return is provided, both Trout and the team’s leadership portray the hamstring issue as improving and not preventing participation in the near term. The All-Star Game timing is presented as a factor in Trout’s expectations, suggesting he is aiming to reach full readiness by that mid-month event.
