Angels' Mike Trout Exits vs. Astros After Suffering Elbow Injury
Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout exited the team's game against the Houston Astros on Thursday with a left elbow contusion.
The star took a pitch off of his elbow from Astros righthander Cristian Javier in the fourth inning, and while he took his base and remained in the game, he was pulled the following inning.
Durability has been something of a concern of late for Trout. He played 134 games in 2019 and hasn't appeared in more than 140 since the 2016 campaign.
He is slashing .393/.507/.804 with a NL-best six home runs, and 12 RBI this season and is a force in the middle of Los Angeles' lineup.
