Trout originally suffered the injury on April 30, exiting Wednesday's game early. The issue occurred while the outfielder was running to first base. On the evening of May 2, Trout provided a hopeful update on his injury, as well as a potential recovery timeline ( via Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher ).

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.
