ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout intends to resume running next week as the Los Angeles Angels slugger ramps up his recovery from a bone bruise in his left knee.
The 33-year-old Trout confirmed Saturday that he won't be back in the Halos' lineup when he is immediately eligible to come off the injured list Sunday, but the three-time AL MVP remains confident he won't miss an extended period of time with his latest injury.
