Mike Trout undergoes surgery for fractured left wrist; return timeline remains uncertain

Mike Trout undergoes surgery for fractured wrist, no timetable for return.

Los Angeles Angels' star center fielder, Mike Trout, underwent surgery on his fractured left wrist on Wednesday. The injury occurred when he fouled off a pitch during a game. Manager Phil Nevin provided an update on Trout's condition, stating that the surgery went well and Trout is feeling great. The team spoke to the doctor, who confirmed that everything went smoothly.

In other news, Shohei Ohtani, another All-Star player for the Angels, was in the lineup as the designated hitter despite leaving the previous game early due to a blister on his pitching hand. Ohtani has expressed that he will not be pitching in the upcoming All-Star Game, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to continue as the designated hitter for the American League.

There is no specific timeline for Trout's return, as recovery from this type of injury generally takes several weeks. Nevin mentioned that it will depend on how Trout's hand responds to treatments and rehabilitation. Trout is eager to get back to the team as soon as possible, and he was relieved that the surgery could be done promptly.

The incident occurred during the eighth inning of Monday night's game when Trout fouled off a pitch. He immediately felt discomfort in his left arm, prompting Nevin and a trainer to check on him. Trout was subsequently taken out of the game. Despite the injury, Trout was selected to his 11th All-Star team and his 10th consecutive start. He currently holds a batting average of .263 with 18 home runs and 44 RBIs.

Overall, the Angels will be closely monitoring Trout's recovery and hoping for a swift return to the field. The team will also be keeping an eye on Ohtani's blister issue to ensure that he can continue contributing as the designated hitter.
