Trout was removed from Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh after being hit by a pitch on the hand, Erica Weston of Angels Broadcast Television reports.
Trout went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI over his first four plate appearances before being hit on the hand with a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder was then replaced by Jose Siri on the basepaths. Trout underwent X-rays on his hand that came back clean, per Weston. It's not yet clear if Trout will be in the lineup Sunday for the series finale.

Angels' Mike Trout: Starting Sunday as DH
Rotowire
Trout (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Sunday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Angels Broadcast Television reports.
Trout was lifted for a pinch runner after being hit by a pitch in the left hand during the top of the ninth inning of Saturday's 6-1 win, but his removal appears to have been mostly precautionary. X-rays on his hand following the game returned negative, and any soreness or swelling Trout might have experienced seems to have subsided enough for him to swing the bat without issue in Sunday's series finale. He'll get a day as the Angels' DH but will likely return to his usual spot in center field Monday in Boston.

Angels' Mike Trout: Swipes bag in win
Rotowire
Trout went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
Trout drove in a run on a single and stole second base in the first inning before coming around to score on a double in the sixth. It was a bright spot in what has been a tough August for the 35-year-old, as he still owns an ugly .675 OPS with only four extra-base hits in 20 games this month. For the year, he's slashing .239/.380/.433 with 20 homers, 46 RBI, 72 runs scored and 11 steals across 495 plate appearances.

Angels' Mike Trout: Accounts for team's only run Monday
Rotowire
Trout went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.
Trout gave the Angels an early lead with a 418-foot solo homer to center field in the first inning. However, that was the only run his team scored despite Trout reaching three more times (all on walks). The long ball was just the second over 22 games since the All-Star break for the star outfielder, who is batting a meager .237 during that stretch. Still, Trout is up to 20 home runs on the campaign, marking the 11th time he's reached that mark in his storied career.

Angels' Mike Trout: Birthday homer in Miami
Rotowire
Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Angels' 4-3 win over the Marlins on Friday.

It was also Trout's first homer since July 8 and 19th of the year, bringing him one step closer to logging 20-plus home runs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2018-19.

Angels' Mike Trout: Perfect at plate in win
Rotowire
Trout went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Trout didn't drive in any runs, but he reached base in all four plate appearances during Sunday's win. It marked the three-time American League MVP's first four-hit effort since April 2021. Since returning from a right hamstring strain July 8, the 34-year-old has slashed .319/.421/.447 with a homer, three doubles, four RBI, six runs and a stolen base in 13 games.
Trout is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Fletcher relays that it's a planned off-day for Trout, who will play center field Saturday and will either play center field or serve as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale. Josh Lowe will start in center field Friday while Wade Meckler and Jo Adell man the corners.
Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Rangers.
Trout missed about three weeks due to a hamstring strain before being reinstated from the injured list Wednesday. He served as the designated hitter in his return to the lineup, and it wouldn't be surprising to see most of his playing time there as he eases back into action without a rehab assignment. The star outfielder is up to 18 homers and 38 RBI on the year, and he's batting .234 with an .874 OPS across 75 contests.
