Mike Trout has had a healthy start to the 2025 season, already close to surpassing the number of games that he played in last year. However, the Angels star endured a health scare during Los Angeles’ game on Wednesday.
Trout was pulled from the Angels game against the Mariners after suffering a potential injury while running the bases. The 33-year-old has had durability issues over the past several years, which includes tearing the meniscus in his left knee last season.

Mike Trout injury history
After beginning his career as a durable player, Trout has dealt with a variety of injuries over the past five seasons. The Angels outfielder has had calf issues, back issues, a broken hamate, and a torn meniscus since 2021, and he played in a career-low 29 games due to his torn meniscus last year.
