Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout has dealt with injuries several times throughout his career. This week, a broken hamate bone became the latest injury to sideline the outfielder.
On Tuesday, the Angles announced that Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list with a wrist injury he sustained in Monday’s game due to a pitch error in the eighth inning.
The Angels lost the first game of the three-game series to the San Diego Padres.

Trout immediately started shaking his left arm after the ball hit him. The three-time American League MVP then signaled for assistance after making his way back to the batter’s box.
Los Angeles manager Phil Nevin and a trainer went to watch Trout, and Trout left the game.

“I was just taking a swing and something felt uncomfortable,” Trout told reporters after Monday’s game. “I can’t describe the pain I felt. I’ve never felt it before — ever — before. I’ve never had wrist problems or anything. Just weird stuff.”

Trout, an 11-time MLB All-Star, had a productive game on Monday. He had two hits, including an RBI-single, and also walked. He is batting .263 this season with 18 home runs and 44 RBI’s in 81 games.
Trout had remained healthy all season prior to Monday’s game.

“We talked about our depth all along,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said via MLB.com. “It’s been tested and we’ve even added something to it. We’ve lost some big pieces. We’ve talked about how it’s the next guy.
“Same thing in this case – give someone a chance to get more looks and get more at bats depending on what the outcome of Mike’s tests are. So we’ll see how it goes.”
