Angels’ Mike Trout: Surgery on Knee Injury ‘Went Well,’ Focused on ‘Speedy Recovery’

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout announced that his knee surgery went smoothly and he’s now focused on a return before the end of the 2024 season.

“Thank you for all of your support and encouragement,” Trout wrote on Saturday in a post on X. “The surgery on my knee went well and I’m now focused on a speedy recovery. Looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible.”

 

ESPN’s Alden González and Jeff Passan reported on Tuesday that the three-time MVP would undergo a procedure on his knee, noting the surgery was “not expected to be season-ending.”

Trout was off to another hot start to begin the 2024 season before the surgery was announced. While his .220 batting average fell below expectations, his 10 home runs are currently tied with Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson for the most among all MLB players.

Trout also added 14 RBIs, six stolen bases, and 16 walks.

The 11-time All-Star revealed that the knee issues began during the Angels’ 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on April 29, as he started to experience soreness in the third inning that continued throughout the game.

“It was just sore,” Trout said, per Gonzalez. “I was kind of telling myself maybe I just banged it on something and I didn’t realize it. Then after the game, getting treatment, it was really sore.”

Injuries have become a common theme for the 32-year-old in recent years, as Trout has appeared in fewer than 100 games in two of the past three seasons. This includes 2023, as he was limited to just 82 appearances due to a fractured bone in his wrist.

The Angels will be hoping that Trout can return quickly, as they’ve gotten off to a slow start in 2024 following the offseason departure of Shohei Ohtani. Entering Saturday’s action, Los Angeles sat at the bottom of the AL West standings with a record of 12-20.
