When is Mike Trout Coming Back - Fantasy Baseball Injury Return Update

When is Mike Trout coming back? Will Mike Trout play again this MLB season? Read about Mike Trouts return date and fantasy baseball injury updates for 2024.

Mike Trout is arguably the best baseball player of this generation; however, his injuries have caused him to miss a significant amount throughout his career. He recently suffered a knee injury and will remain sidelined for an extended period of time. 

Before getting hurt, Trout had a great start to the season and was leading the league in home runs (10). The Angels, who lost Shohei Ohtani in free agency, are now without their other superstar as well, who has suffered a significant injury in each of the last four seasons. 

How serious is Trout's knee injury? Will he play again this year? Let's take a look at his injury status for fantasy baseball.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

Mike Trout Injury Update for Fantasy Baseball

As per the latest reports, Mike Trout has undergone successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The 32-year-old outfielder underwent the surgery in California and will start his rehabilitation in Anaheim. Although there is no timeline for Trout's return, the club expects him to return to the field later this season. The Angels are 12-20 on the season and are currently tied for the worst record in the AL West with the Houston Astros. 

Making the playoffs remains unlikely for the Angels. However, the team will expect the likes of Taylor Ward, Logan O'Hoppe, and Nolan Schanuel to continue their good form and uplift the players around them in Trout's absence. 

 

Mike Trout Fantasy Baseball Outlook

Before getting hurt, Mike Trout played 29 games and had a batting average of.220. With an on-base percentage of .332, he recorded 24 hits, 10 home runs, 14 RBIs, and 17 runs. As mentioned earlier, the Angels star was leading the Majors in home runs before suffering the knee injury, and his unavailability is a huge loss for the managers who had him on their team.

Replacing a player like Trout is never easy for a team, but based on the past five years, it's clear that the three-time AL MVP is prone to injuries. Hopefully, Trout will return later this year, but until then, the Angels and the managers who have him on their roster must rely on other players to contribute.

Stashing the Angels star on the IL is the ideal advice for the fantasy managers who have him on their roster.
