Angels outfielder Mike Trout's paternity leave expires Sunday, and manager Joe Maddon is planning for his star outfielder to be in the lineup, according to a report from Jeff Fletcher of The OCR. “That would be the optimal plan,” Maddon said on Saturday. “I’ve already written things down to put him in the lineup for tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact
Maddon admitted that he is not 100% positive that Trout will be able to be in the lineup Sunday, but it is his expectation. Even if Trout is unable to be in the lineup, the team has to remove him from the paternity list Sunday. Look for an update later on Sunday morning when lineups are announced.
