Mike Trout Exits Game With Knee Soreness

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout exited Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners in the fourth inning due to soreness in his left knee, which he experienced while running out a ground ball in the third inning. Manager Ron Washington described the removal as precautionary, and Trout stated he felt better after the game, with medical tests returning fine. This incident is particularly concerning since Trout missed most of the previous season with a torn meniscus in the same knee after 29 games. This year, Trout has started all 29 games for the Angels, primarily in right field, and has nine home runs and 18 RBIs despite a low batting average. Initial fan speculation about a potential injury or trade was addressed by the team, clarifying the nature of the exit. Trout's status for the next game remains uncertain, and his absence would be significant given his history and role.
