Mike Trout is out of the Lineup for the First Game of the Doubleheader Saturday for the Los Angeles Angels

Kevin and Donnie discuss the early season success for the Los Angeles Angels and how good it is for the MLB to have some of its best players on full display.

Mike Trout is sitting for the first game of the doubleheader for the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, BaseballPress.com reports.

There is no injury involved here, but instead, the Angels are just giving Trout the first game off. Trout is expected to be back in the starting lineup for the second game. Aaron Whitefield will bat ninth and play centerfield in Trout’s absence.

The Angels are well aware that Trout hasn’t played more than 140 games in a season since 2016.
