Superstar Mike Trout of the Angels struggled to contain his tears on Tuesday as he talked about another injury that will likely keep him out for a long time.

After suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee during Monday’s 6-5 victory over the Phillies, general manager Perry Minasian stated that Trout, an 11-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP, will have surgery in the coming days. Although Trout or the Angels did not specify an exact timeline, it is not anticipated that this will be a season-ending procedure.

Before the Angels’ 7-5 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium, a distraught Trout stated, “It’s tough.” It’s merely annoying. However, we’ll overcome it.

The most difficult aspect, according to 32-year-old Trout, is that he is unsure of when he was injured. Prior to the first game of the series on Monday, he had no knee problems, but in the third inning, as he was jogging off the field, he felt something. Despite the injury, Trout kept playing, even stealing base in the seventh inning and using a wild pitch to score the game-winning run from second base. However, the damage to his knee persisted, and on Tuesday, an MRI examination indicated the extent of the injury.

Trout remarked, “It’s crazy because looking back, I don’t even know when I did it.” “I felt an ache in the third inning while returning to the dugout, but it was only a minor ache that made me think, ‘This is weird.’” Hitting and running without giving it any thought, feeling nothing. Stole second, had no emotion. I first felt it just after I finished my activities, sat down, and then got back up.

With a.220/.325/.541 line and 10 home runs, which tied him with Gunnar Henderson for the most in the Majors, Trout was off to a great start to the season. With six thefts this year, Trout has also been more aggressive on the bases than he was throughout the previous four years combined.

Trout expressed his frustration at the thought of losing time once more, calling it another unexpected injury beyond his control.
