Trout hopeful to return to Angels lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Angels All-Star outfielder Mike Trout was out of the lineup for the third straight game Wednesday night against the Houston Astros due to a calf injury.

An MRI performed on Monday revealed a small strain in his right calf, and the Angels have listed the superstar as day-to-day.

Trout expects to return to the Angels' lineup on Thursday.

"I feel good," Trout told reporters Wednesday. "I feel fine. Just being cautious. I think I'll be available to hit tonight and I should be fine to play tomorrow."

Manager Brad Ausmus said Trout would be evaluated again before playing.
