Mike Trout returns to Angels' lineup, batting 1-for-5 after missing 26 games with left knee injury
The Los Angeles Angels officially activated Mike Trout from the injured list for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Guardians. Batting fifth for the first time in his career, he started at designated hitter and went 1-for-5 with 2 strikeouts in the Angels' 4-1 win. Trout singled in his second at-bat of the game, putting a hanging sinker into left field. He nearly got a hit in his first at-bat as well, but Guardians' third baseman José Ramírez snared the line drive for an out. Advertisement Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters (via the Orange County Register) that the original plan was for Trout to return on Monday versus the Boston Red Sox. But after his workout at Angel Stadium on Wednesday, Trout said he felt good enough to play DH. He could return to the outfield next week. Trout, 33, has been on the IL since May 1 with a bone bruise in his left knee sustained while stepping awkwardly on first base as he ran out a ground ball. The Angels initially said the injury wasn't serious and he was originally eligible to be activated on May 10. At the time of his injury, Trout was batting .179/.264/.462 with nine home runs, 18 RBI and two stolen bases. The three-time American League MVP has now missed significant time due to injury for four consecutive seasons. Advertisement Last season, Trout was sidelined for five months and played in only 29 games after requiring two surgeries on the meniscus in his left knee. In 2023, a fractured hamate bone in his left hand kept him out for the second half of the season. In 2022, Trout played 119 games but missed a month with a back injury. And in 2021, a calf strain hobbled him for nearly five months, limiting him to 39 games. Since winning AL MVP in 2019, when he batted .291/.438/.605 with a career-high 45 homers, Trout has averaged 58 games per season. With 107 games remaining in the 2025 season, he has an opportunity to increase that average. Though considering his recent history, it seems unlikely he'll play in all of those games. Prior to the season, Trout moved to right field in an attempt to "preserve the legs" after playing 92% of his career games in center field. With the position change, Jo Adell, Kyren Paris and Matthew Lugo have each played in center. Advertisement However, Lugo was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to clear a spot for Trout on the roster and Paris was also demoted when the Angels signed veteran utilityman Chris Taylor, recently released by the Los Angeles Dodgers, to help out at the position. Adell started in center on Friday, while regular DH Jorge Soler played in right field. The Angels went into Friday's game with a 25-30 record, going 13-12 while Trout was on the IL.

Blue Jay Anthony Santander hits IL, Alan Roden returns
Anthony Santander 's first season in a Blue Jays uniform went from bad to worse on Friday afternoon when he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Santander initially sustained the injury crashing into the outfield wall to make a catch against the Los Angeles Angels on May 8. Later in that game, he also jumped into the stands trying to catch a foul ball. The 30-year-old outfielder sat out the next series, but returned May 13 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite the time off, the injury did not heal and Santander had been trying to play through it until now. 'There are still a few swings, both right-handed and left-handed, where he can feel it,' Jays manager John Schneider said. 'He was on board with (the IL), just wanting to be 100 per cent. I give him credit for grinding through it. It's not an easy thing to do, when you're struggling, too. I think giving him some time to get right and then attacking the work the way we want is the goal.' The first two months of Santander's season were a nightmare. After hitting 44 homers for the Baltimore Orioles in 2024, the Jays rewarded him with a five-year contract worth $92.5 million (U.S.). He has been a shadow of his former self ever since. In 50 games, Santander is hitting just .179 with six homers and 18 RBIs. His .577 on-base plus slugging percentage is the seventh lowest in the majors among all qualified hitters. He has also been worth minus-0.7 wins above replacement per FanGraphs. He's under contract through the 2029 season, so the Jays have to hope his lack of offensive production was more tied to injuries than regression. He is not eligible to return from the injured list until June 3. 'He had an MRI last night,' Schneider said. 'We're still reading through it a little bit. I don't know the course of action, if it's going to be an injection or rehab. It just got to the point where it was bothering him and you can't put the work that you want to put in volume wise.' Rookie outfielder Alan Roden was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo. After being demoted in early May, the 25-year-old hit .361 with three homers and 12 RBIs for the Bisons.

MLB Reacts to Major Mike Trout News on Friday
MLB Reacts to Major Mike Trout News on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After missing nearly a month with a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left knee, Mike Trout jogged onto the field at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Friday and promptly reminded baseball fans why he's still the game's gold standard. Advertisement Heading into Trout's return, the Los Angeles Angels sat at 25-30, fourth place in the American League West and five games behind the division-leading Seattle Mariners. The Angels were coming off a five-game losing streak and faced mounting questions about their ability to contend in a stacked AL West. As Trout made his way from the dugout, the MLB took to X to celebrate the moment with a simple caption, "I'm back. – Mike." The Angels stumbled through the 2024 campaign, closing the year with a 63-99 record, their worst mark in franchise history and dead last in the AL West under manager Ron Washington. Advertisement Trout himself missed significant time with a torn meniscus and further knee issues, underscoring how central Trout is as the clubhouse's cornerstone. Trout entered his 15th MLB season in 2025 with credentials that few peers can match, including being a three-time AL MVP, 11-time All-Star, nine-time Silver Slugger and two-time MLB All-Star Game MVP. Los Angeles Angels right fielder Mike Trout (27).Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Trout initially suffered a bone bruise in his left knee on April 30 against the Mariners and was placed on the injured list for exactly one month, Even at .179/.264/.462 with nine home runs and 18 RBIs in 29 games before the injury, Trout's mere presence in the lineup instantly shifts the outlook in LA.
