Angels outfielder Mike Trout will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining another meniscus tear in his left knee.
suffered another meniscus tear in his surgically repaired left knee and will not play the remainder of this season, yet another crushing development for the generational superstar who has been significantly hampered by injuries in recent years., Trout wrote that an MRI on Wednesday "showed a tear in my meniscus that will require surgery again -- ending my hopes of returning this season."
Trout, who turns 33 next Wednesday, suffered his first meniscus tear on April 29 and had surgery four days later. His initial hope, sources said, was to return within four to six weeks, which doctors told him was a best-case scenario. It instead took a little more than 11 weeks for Trout to begin a rehab assignment.
"I believe it's gonna turn," Angels general manager Perry Minasian told ESPN. "He's going to play. My call is he hits 70 homers and wins the MVP. I believe it. Looking at the look on his face, he might have the best year he's ever had next year."
