Expects to play again in 2022 Trout (ribs) expects to play again in 2022, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Trout has been diagnosed with a rare back condition due to costovertebral dysfunction, and the Angels' head athletic trainer said Wednesday that the issue will likely be something that the outfielder deals with for the remainder of the season and the rest of his career. However, Trout said after Wednesday's win over the Royals that he expects to play again in 2022. "I've got to stay on top of the routine I do on a daily basis to prevent it from coming back. I feel good where I'm at right now. Every day it's improving. And I feel really good. I felt really good today," Trout said Wednesday. The 30-year-old didn't give a timetable for his return, but he'll meet with team doctors Sunday to help determine his status.

Facing unknown return timeline Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Wednesday that Trout's ongoing absence due to left rib cage inflammation is related to a "rare back condition" called costovertebral...
Impact Though Frostad noted that Trout is starting to feel the benefits of the cortisone shot he received in his rib cage last Thursday, the 30-year-old won't be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least next weekend, as the Angels want to give him a full two weeks off for the injection to take effect. While Trout's placement on the 10-day injured list July 18 was characterized as a rib issue, the injury has created back pain that puts the superstar outfielder at risk of a longer absence than had been expected. Trout's upcoming re-evaluation next week should shed more light on both his rest-of-season and long-term outlook, but fantasy managers should at least stay prepared for the possibility that he doesn't play again in 2022.

Return at least one week away Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Wednesday that Trout (rib) won't be able to resume baseball activities until at least Aug. 5, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register...
Impact According to Frostad, Trout will need a full two weeks off for the cortisone shot he received last Thursday to take full effect, so the superstar outfield will remain in somewhat of a holding pattern for at least eight more days. Because the left rib cage inflammation has kept Trout out of the lineup since July 12, he'll likely need a few days' worth of workouts and potentially a brief rehab assignment to get ramped back up. As such, fantasy managers probably shouldn't count on him playing until at least the second week of August, even if the cortisone shot fully alleviates the pain Trout has been experiencing. Trout's ongoing absence should continue to open up a full-time role in the outfield for Jo Adell, who is day-to-day with a bruised arm but shouldn't be in line for a trip to the injured list.

Angels' Mike Trout gets back injection, won't return when eligible Monday ATLANTA — Mike Trout will not be returning to the Angels' lineup when he’s eligible to come off the injured list Monday.

Receives cortisone shot Trout (ribs) received a cortisone shot recently and won't return when first eligible Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The Angels initially hoped that Trout would be able to be activated early next week, but he'll spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The 30-year-old will continue to receive treatment and will be monitored on a daily basis, so it's still possible that he returns at some point next week.

Could return early next week According to Angels manager Phil Nevin, Trout (ribs) is feeling better, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to return early next week, per MLB.com.
Impact Trout is eligible to be activated from his stint on the 10-day IL on Monday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, but it's far from certain that he'll be able to return on that day. Nonetheless, Nevin expressed optimism that the superstar outfielder is getting better, stating, "He feels good today. It's a situation where we had to put him on the IL and hopefully it's not much longer than that. It's something we need to address and access every day. He's getting treatment but he's not there." Trout is slashing .270/.368/.599 with 24 homers and 51 RBI across 326 plate appearances this season, but he had been struggling prior to landing on the IL, batting .167 (6-for-36) with 18 strikeouts and just two walks through 11 games in July.
