Angels’ Mike Trout listed as day to day after being hit in hand by pitch
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Angels got a scare when Mike Trout was hit in the left hand by a pitch in the fifth inning of the Angels game on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, but initial X-rays were negative and Trout is listed as day to day.
Trout was hit by a 3-and-2 slider from right-hander Spencer Patton. He was attended to by a trainer for a few minutes before leaving the game.
Trout had gotten off to a good start in the first 10 games, hitting two homers with a .972 OPS.
Last season Trout played in just 36 games, missing most of the season with a strained calf. He was back to 100 percent over the winter, and he said that he had a new workout regimen to help him avoid injuries.
Brandon Marsh is likely to play center field in Trout’s absence, with Jo Adell and Taylor Ward on the corners.
