Trout returns to Angels lineup after 3 games out

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout is back in the lineup after missing three games with a calf injury.

Trout is batting second as the designated hitter for the final game of the series with the Houston Astros.

Trout left Sunday's 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners after the second inning. An MRI performed Monday had revealed a small strain in Trout's right calf.

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

"Hopefully he'll be able to go [Thursday] full bore," Ausmus said.
