Due to injuries sustained by both of their superstar sluggers, the 2023 season for the Los Angeles Angels has come to a disappointing close for the team’s devoted supporters.

To add insult to ιnjury, star outfielder Mike Trout’s recurring ιnjury issues have forced him onto the 60-day injured list, effectively ending his season (only seven games left) and raising concerns about his future. First, Shohei Ohtani left the season early to have surgery and most likely won’t ever return to the team. To add insult to ιnjury, Mike Trout’s recurring ιnjury issues have forced him onto the list.

Phil Nevin, the manager of the Angels, made the announcement on Sunday and acknowledged that the setbacks and persistent discomfort that Trout was experiencing left no opportunity for a late-season return attempt.

After suffering a left hamate fracture on July 3 while playing against the Padres, the slugger made a brief comeback on August 22. However, his return to the game was only temporary because he continued to suffer from agony while he was competing. As a direct consequence of this, he was positioned once more on the injured list.

Even though it doesn’t look serious, the hamate bоne ιnjury in his wrist has substantial repercussions for a hitter’s ability to generate power and swing with force. Even though Trout had surgery and was back in action in a reasonable amount of time, it may take many months for him to restore his full strength and power.

Trout, who had previously won the AL MVP award three times and been in 11 All-Star games, had high hopes for the 2023 season but was only able to play in 82 games.

Trout demonstrated his talent by hitting.263 with 18 home runs, 14 doubles, a triple, two stolen bases, and 44 runs batted in while making a limited number of plate appearances. His ability to reach base safely remained remarkable, as seen by his on-base percentage of.367, which was much higher than the average for the league.

The 32-year-old player’s struggles with injuries over the course of the last three seasons have been a cause of aggravation for both the Angels organization and the player himself.

Due to a torn calf muscle, he was only able to play in 36 games the entire season in 2021. In 2022, he suffered a back ιnjury that caused him to miss more than a month of activity, which reduced the number of games in which he was able to participate to 119.

When we travel further back in time, we find that the slugger has only participated in 140 games since the year 2018.

Trout and the Angels finish the 2023 season on a disappointing note, which raises worries about his future performance ability and whether or not he will be able to maintain his place as one of the game’s top players.

Even if the move from the 10-day ιnjury list to the 60-day ιnjury list didn’t have to be made because of his wrist issue and more because of the team using his spot on the 40-man roster to activate right-hander Carson Fulmer, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, there is starting to be doubt on the player’s overall ability to perform at the high standards he had fans accustomed to seeing from him.

Despite rumors that he could be traded throughout the winter, Trout has not wavered in his commitment to the Angels, with whom he has a contract that guarantees him $426.5 million over the course of 12 years.
