Mike Trout, the star outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, is still in the process of recovering from knee surgery he underwent seven weeks ago to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Despite not being able to resume running yet, Trout remains optimistic about his progress.
Trout provided an update on his recovery before the Angels’ game against the Milwaukee Brewers, expressing that while it’s been slower than he initially anticipated, he is taking it day by day and trusting the process. The injury occurred during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, and Trout underwent surgery on May 3.
Although he has not started running again, Trout has been doing workouts on a stationary bike and an elliptical machine to regain strength in his knee. The team is hopeful that he will be able to start running again soon, but Trout is being cautious to avoid any setbacks in his recovery.
Trout’s career has been plagued by injuries since the shortened 2020 season, with this knee injury being the latest setback. Despite the challenges, Trout remains positive and is determined to get back on the field as soon as possible. He has been in communication with other athletes who have recovered from similar injuries, preparing himself for the challenges ahead.
The Angels, who have also been without Anthony Rendon due to a hamstring injury, have struggled this season with a record of 29-43. Rendon, the team’s third baseman, has played in only a fraction of the team’s games since the start of the 2021 season, highlighting the team’s injury woes.
Trout is focused on returning to the field and is willing to play through any aches and pains that may come with his recovery. He understands the process and is determined to progress in a smart and safe manner to avoid any setbacks.
As Trout continues his recovery journey, the Angels will be eagerly awaiting his return to the lineup to provide a much-needed boost to the team’s offense. Trout’s resilience and determination to overcome his injuries will be key as he works towards getting back on the field and helping his team compete at the highest level.
