The Angels’ outfield has taken a major hit.
Mike Trout needs surgery on his left knee for a torn meniscus, Angels general manager Perry Minasian told reporters Tuesday.
ESPN reported that the procedure is not expected to end his season, however, it is not clear when he’s expected to return to game action.
Trout played a full game on Monday against the Phillies, going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base.
The three-time American League MVP has had trouble staying on the field since 2018, playing only 140 games once over the past seven years, and two of the last three seasons have seen him suit up in fewer than 100.
Before this latest injury, Trout had an MLB-best 10 homers with an .867 OPS.
