Los Angeles — Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will miss the All-Star Game because of back spasms, joining Bryce Harper on the sidelines and depriving the showcase of two of baseball's best-known players.
Trout, a three-time American League MVP, has not played since Tuesday and was scratched from the Los Angels Angels' lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday night.
Trout was replaced on the AL roster Sunday by Seattle infielder Ty France, increasing to a dozen All-Stars who will miss Tuesday night's game at Dodger Stadium.
