Angels' Mike Trout at Least a Week Away from Upping Activity amid Rib Injury Rehab

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout will miss at least another week before starting more activity, head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Wednesday, via Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group.

Trout had been dealing with rib cage inflammation and received a cortisone injection in his back last Thursday to help deal with the ailment.

Frostad told reporters Wednesday that it takes two weeks for the full effect of the shot.

"The injection was done into the joint where the rib meets up with the spine," Frostad said on Saturday. "So it's kind of a difficult area to get to and he just has to let that cortisone take effect.
