Mike Trout's status as the best MLB player of his generation remains intact, but injuries have become a concern for the Los Angeles Angels star. Now, he apparently has something he'll have to deal with for a while.

Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad told The Athletic's Sam Blum that Trout, who has been out since July 12 with a back issue, has been diagnosed with a condition called costovertebral dysfunction at T5 that could be a long-term issue.
