Trout is making his way back from thumb surgery to repair a torn UCL. The two-time MVP underwent the operation at the end of May. Trout was given a 6-8 week recovery timetable, but he has said his goal is to return before the All-Star Game on July 11.
Trout, 25, is batting .337/.461/.742 with 14 doubles and 16 home runs in 47 games this season in what was shaping up as another MVP effort.
