Trout bounces back from injury with 3 more hits and his 2nd career homer at Fenway Park
BOSTON — It hasn't taken Mike Trout long to regain his form after missing a month with a bruised left knee. Trout had three more hits on Monday night, including a 454-foot homer that was the longest at Fenway Park this year, in the Los Angeles Angels' 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox — his second three-hit game in three starts since returning from the injured list on Friday.

Trout bounces back from injury with 3 more hits and his 2nd career homer at Fenway Park
BOSTON (AP) — It hasn't taken Mike Trout long to regain his form after missing a month with a bruised left knee. Trout had three more hits on Monday night, including a 454-foot homer that was the longest at Fenway Park this year, in the Los Angeles Angels' 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox — his second three-hit game in three starts since returning from the injured list on Friday. 'Anybody that knows Mike Trout shouldn't be surprised,' Angels manager Ron Washington said. 'Mike Trout can still do a lot of things that a lot of people can't do. And he's showing that.' Trout hit a three-run homer in the first inning and singled in his next two at-bats. In the seventh, he grounded into a double play but said he had no problem with his left knee as he tried to beat the relay. In all, the 11-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP is 8 for 14 since coming off the IL to raise his batting average from .179 to .225. It was only his second homer in 35 career games at Fenway Park. Trout, 33, said he was able to work on his swing while he was out, though he was limited to 30-40 swings per day. The break helped him reset some bad habits he had developed, he said. The three hits on Monday gave Trout 1,675 in his career and moved him into second place on the franchise list, surpassing Tim Salmon. Garret Anderson holds the Angels record with 2,368. Zach Neto homered leading off the game, Trout added a three-run shot and Jo Adell put one over the Green Monster to make it 6-0 — all in the first. It was the first time in the 114-year history of Fenway Park that a visiting team has hit three homers in the first inning, according to 'Anytime you set records in a stadium like this, it's pretty special,' Trout said. 'It's pretty crazy.' ___ AP MLB:

Patriots' Stefon Diggs Sends Five-Word Message Upon Arrival to OTAs Amid Latest Drama
Patriots' Stefon Diggs Sends Five-Word Message Upon Arrival to OTAs Amid Latest Drama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. By now, everyone has seen the viral video of Patriots' receiver Stefon Diggs with a 'pink substance' on a boat over Memorial Day weekend. The drama from the footage only intensified when Diggs failed to appear at OTAs on May 28. However, the four-time Pro Bowl receiver arrived at Monday's OTA with a five-word message as he jogged onto the field. Advertisement "Nice to see you all," Diggs said. There are many feelings fans could have about this return, as Diggs seems rather jolly arriving to the field following the drama of the past week. But, for Patriots fans wanting Diggs to be the No. 1 option for Drake Maye in 2025, like the plan was when he signed, this is the best news possible. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels spoke with the media this morning, expressing his excitement about working with the players at OTAs, which includes Diggs today. Stefon Diggs got in off-field trouble recently, less than three months after joining the Taormina-Imagn Images "It's a voluntary part of the year; we know that. As a coach, selfishly you love it when they're all here ... (Diggs is) here today, and we're excited to have an opportunity to work with the guys that are out here and available to us," McDaniels said. "I know he's staying up on the information and the material, and there's so many things and opportunities for us to teach all of our guys going forward ... so, I'm not concerned about Steph." Advertisement The Patriots' leading pass catcher in 2024 was tight end Hunter Henry. Tight end Austin Hooper was fourth on the team in receiving yards. Only three of the Patriots' top seven pass catchers were receivers last season. DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte led the receivers with 621 and 589 receiving yards, respectively. The Patriots had an obvious need at the position this offseason if they want to see growth from Maye in his sophomore campaign. New England's answer was to sign Diggs to be Maye's No. 1 option. Despite Diggs' history of drama, with Vrable as the new head coach and a shift in culture underway in New England, the Patriots decided to take a chance on the All-Pro receiver. Now, after a week full of drama, Diggs' five-word message as he arrived at OTAs this morning is a welcoming sign for fans. Only time will tell if Diggs will work out with the Patriots.
