The Los Angeles Angels are struggling at the bottom of the American League West with a 16-23 record. After a promising 9-5 start to the season, hopes for a turnaround have dimmed following a left knee injury to Mike Trout, who was moved to right field to improve his health. Trout, eligible to return from the IL after a bone bruise, has yet to begin running, raising concerns about his availability. Meanwhile, rumors suggest the Angels may consider trading Jorge Soler, currently signed through 2026, to bolster their roster and gain salary relief.
