Angels star center fielder Mike Trout was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Rangers after his left hand was hit by a pitch. The three-time MVP received attention from the team’s training staff briefly before heading for the dugout.
Los Angeles later tweeted that his X-Rays came back negative and the centerfielder is considered day-to-day. Trout exited the game after going 1-for-2 with an RBI double. He’s reached base in eight of the nine games he’s played in this season.
The development is a crushing blow for the Angels, who have been forced to deal with Trout’s absence a lot in recent years.
