Deadspin | Angels OF Mike Trout (hand) avoids serious injury 
Apr 5, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout (27) has his hand checked by trainer Mike Frostad after being hit by pitch from Seattle Mariners pitcher Casey Legumina (64) during the eighth inning at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout is considered day-to-day after X-rays on his left hand were negative.
Trout left Sunday’s eventual 8-7 victory in extra innings against the Seattle Mariners when he was hit on the hand by a 94-mph pitch from Casey Legumina. Trout was visited by a team trainer at home plate after the eighth-inning incident and made his way to first base before leaving for a pinch runner.
“I knew it didn’t feel good when it happened and when I looked down, it was already swelled up,” Trout said. “And when I couldn’t get my (batting) glove off, (the trainer) was just like ‘Go get it looked at.'”
During Friday’s series opener against the Mariners, Trout was hit in the left shoulder by a 96-mph pitch from Seattle’s Bryan Woo.
“I think we know where they’re trying to get me out, (on) fastballs up and in,” Trout said after Sunday’s game. “It’s just frustrating. If you can’t control it up there, you shouldn’t do it. So it is what it is.”
Trout played in 130 games last season, but in the prior five seasons he played in more than 82 games just once because of an assortment of injuries.
The three-time American League MVP is a career .294 hitter with a .976 OPS over 16 seasons and 1,658 games, all with the Angels. He has two home runs this season to give him 406 in his career with 1,021 RBIs.
The Angels open a three-game home series Monday against the Atlanta Braves.
