Will continue to play CF Trout will be the Angels' center fielder this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Impact There had been some speculation dating back to last season that Trout could move to a corner outfield spot in order to reduce his risk of injury, but manager Joe Maddon confirmed Monday that the superstar will remain in his customary center-field position for now. It's worth noting that Trout has discussed with team management moving to a corner outfield spot down the road, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, though that isn't expected to happen this year. Such a shift could take place if Trout continues to struggle to remain healthy for a full campaign. He hasn't played in more than 140 contests since the 2016 season.
