Angels' Mike Trout Thumb Injury Diagnosed as Ligament Tear; Surgery an Option

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

DiGiovanna noted surgery is a possibility and added it would keep him out five to eight weeks. J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group said he heard Trout will be placed on the disabled list.

Trout suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team announced at the time it was a thumb sprain and said X-rays were negative.
