Kavadas slashed .183/.283/.333 with four homers and eight RBI in 30 games for Los Angeles last season. The 26-year-old sports a career .250 average with 74 homers, 248 RBI, and a .901 OPS in 1,221 minor-league at-bats.

Last year, Trout tore the meniscus in his left knee on April 29, and Trout thought he’d return in six-to-eight weeks. He aggravated the injury in his first minor league rehabilitation game in July and sat out the rest of the season.

Angels star Mike Trout says he is convinced the bone bruise in his left knee won't sideline him for an extended period.
