Mike Trout sidelined with hamstring strain, Angels adjust roster

Los Angeles Angels placed veteran center fielder Mike Trout on the 10‑day injured list Thursday after he suffered a right hamstring strain running to first base in Wednesday’s 6‑5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Trout homered and drove in three runs in that game. He told reporters he feels better after a brief rest and is not overly concerned, though he offered no return date.

Trout is batting .234 with 17 home runs and 36 RBIs this season, keeping him among the AL’s top outfield producers. He placed second in All‑Star fan voting with 926,601 votes, trailing Aaron Judge’s 977,460. In Trout’s absence, Jose Siri will take over center field, and Christian Moore earned a call‑up from Triple‑A Salt Lake, where he is hitting .333 with nine homers and 45 RBIs.

The Angels lose a key offensive spark as they chase a wild‑card berth. Without Trout’s power bat, the lineup must rely on younger pieces and Siri’s defense to sustain run production. Management expects a focused rehab regimen, but the undefined timeline adds uncertainty to Los Angeles’ push for postseason contention.
