Mike Trout, the Los Angeles Angels' superstar, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left knee contusion, retroactive to May 1. The three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star sustained the injury while running to first base during a game. However, Trout remains optimistic about a quick recovery, hoping this stint on the IL will be brief as there is no structural damage.

Despite a career-worst batting average of .179 this season, Trout has hit 9 home runs and driven in 18 runs, outpacing his previous year's totals. Unfortunately, the Angels have struggled as a team, currently sitting last in the AL West with a record of 12-18, having lost eight of their last ten games.
