Mike Trout finally reveals injury update and timeline

Mike Trout is one of the faces of Major League Baseball — everyone wants to see him healthy. 

Recently, he provided an update that is certainly positive towards when he might return to the diamond. 

“I came out, I feel good,” Trout said. “I’m really excited with where I'm at right now. We're upping the intensity and there’s no soreness.”

“I wish,” Trout said when asked what his timeline truly is. “I just trust what they tell me. They’ve got a routine for me every day, just building it up and hopefully to get running the bases here. I think running the bases is a big hurdle. Just have to make sure I come in and don’t have any crazy soreness.”

Trout also mentioned that he won’t want to go on a rehab assignment, stating that he feels good while swinging and just needs to reacclimate to running the bases. 

“The hitting has been unbelievable,” Trout said. “I’ve been hitting and throwing every day. No pain with that. Been hitting off the tee, flips, from live arms and the machine. No pain, no issues.”

Everyone wants to see Trout back in action, his manager certainly included. 

“I'm pretty excited too,” Washington said. “He wanted to do more, but he's on a ramp-up program, and we're not going to rush it because we don’t want any setbacks. I'm more than certain Mike probably told you he’s ready to go now, but we’ve got to hold Mike back until we certainly check every box. But he's coming along. This eagerness to get back on the field is mounting.”
