WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is heading to the injured list once again after suffering a right hamstring strain.<\/p>

The Angels announced prior to Thursday evening’s matchup against the Athletics that the 11-time All-Star would be placed on the 10-day IL. To fill the roster spot, the team called up infielder Christian Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake as part of a series of roster moves.<\/p>

Trout told MLB.com that the injury happened while he was running toward first base during Wednesday’s 8-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>

“From last night to today, it’s a night-and-day difference, so that’s positive for me,” Trout said to MLB.com. “I was a little worried last night, but had a plane ride and just sitting down after playing, so that kind of came into effect. But feels way better today, so I’m not overly concerned about it. But I’m going to do everything I can in that training room and the weight room to get back.”<\/p>

Injuries have been a recurring theme for Trout throughout much of this decade. After claiming his third AL MVP honor in 2019, he has surpassed 82 games in a season only twice \u2014 appearing in 119 games in 2022 and 130 in 2025.<\/p>

The 34-year-old had been enjoying a resurgent campaign, suiting up for 74 of the team’s 75 games this season. He was batting .234 with an .866 OPS, 17 home runs, 36 RBIs, and seven stolen bases heading into Thursday.<\/p>

At the time of the injury, Trout led the American League with 54 runs scored, a figure tied for second-best in all of baseball behind Washington’s James Wood. His 66 walks also ranked second in the major leagues, trailing only the Athletics’ Nick Kurtz.<\/p>

Trout had also earned the second-highest vote total among AL outfielders in this week’s released All-Star Game balloting. He has a personal connection to the event \u2014 he grew up near Philadelphia, where this year’s All-Star Game is scheduled to be held next month.<\/p>

With Trout out, Moore gets his chance to contribute at the big league level. The infielder had been putting up strong numbers at Salt Lake, batting .333 with a .468 on-base percentage, nine home runs, 45 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases across 51 games while seeing time at second base, third base, and in the outfield.<\/p>

In his previous stint with the Angels last season, Moore batted .198 with a .284 on-base percentage, seven home runs, 16 RBIs, and three stolen bases over 53 games.<\/p>

The Angels made additional roster moves Thursday, recalling right-hander Ryan Johnson from Double-A Rocket City, releasing left-hander Drew Pomeranz, and optioning right-hander Brett Kerry and catcher Logan Porter to Salt Lake.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
