Eligibility
Mike Trout told reporters he does not want to be traded now.
Fantasy Impact
Trout called it “the easy way out” and he has reportedly been pushing Angels owner Arte Moreno and general manager Perry Minasian to sign one of the remaining big free agents. The Angels have been linked to Blake Snell who remains a free agent.
Angels GM Perry Minasian said Mike Trout definitively will not be traded this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
There was never anything to suggest Trout would be traded outside of rumors. He has dealt with a number of injury issues in recent seasons, but has remained elite when on the field. The whole MLB continues to wait to see where Shohei Ohtani will be playing next season.
The Los Angeles Angels have hired Ron Washington as their next manager.
Fantasy Impact
Washington has spent the last seven seasons coaching with the Atlanta Braves while he previously managed the Texas Rangers from 2007-2014, compiling a 664-611 record while making three postseason appearances, including back-to-back World Series losses in 2010 and 2011. He will look to turn around an underperforming Angels team that went just 73-89 in 2023, good for fourth place in the AL West.
The Angels placed Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
It has been a brutal night for the Angels with Trout not only being placed back on the injured list, but also the announcement of Shohei Ohtani suffering a torn UCL. Trout played one game before being placed back on the injured list after he was sidelined since early July.
Mike Trout (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for game one of Wednesday's doubleheader vs. the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Trout admitted that he is still feeling soreness in his wrist despite being activated from the IL, so it's not shocking to see him sit out one game of the doubleheader. He may have regular days down the stretch as well, but he is trying to do everything in his power to keep the Angels playoff hopes alive.
