This year’s MLB All-Star Game will have a large, fish-sized void.
The Angels announced on Monday that Mike Trout will not be participating in 2017 All-Star festivities as he continues to rehab his thumb injury.

Trout, who was just announced on Sunday to have been voted in as a starter for his sixth consecutive American League All-Star team, has been out since late May after suffering a torn left thumb ligament that required surgery. The Angels had been optimistic that the two-time AL MVP might be able to return before the Midsummer Classic, but they have apparently chosen to take the route of caution instead.
