ANAHEIM, Calif. -- In the span of four days, Mike Trout went from his career in peril to possibly picking a bat by the end of next week.
The Los Angeles Angels star visited Thursday with Dr. Robert Watkins, a back specialist and co-director of the Marina Spine Clinic in Los Angeles. Trout is slated to begin rotational exercises on Wednesday and could return to swinging a bat shortly after that.
"It went from my career is over to now hopefully I'm going to play here soon," Trout said with a laugh. "Coming out of the workouts, it's been great every day.
