Trout added that he’ll speak to former teammate and present Particular Assistant to the Common Supervisor Torii Hunter when he will get to camp since he made the identical change to accommodate Trout taking part in middle subject again within the day.
Trout hasn’t performed in additional than 140 video games in a season since 2016 and hasn’t performed greater than 82 video games in 4 of the final 5 years, so protecting his bat within the lineup is the No. 1 precedence for the Angels this season.
