Angels center fielder Mike Trout said Tuesday he could return from a torn left thumb ligament before the July 11 All-Star game, ahead of the standard timeline for his injury.
“It’d be pretty cool to hopefully be back by then, if everything goes on schedule,” he said. “I obviously don’t determine that, but I want to be out there as quick as I can. Hopefully, we’ll see.”
Asked to clarify whether he believed returning before the annual game was on the table, Trout said yes.
“Before the All-Star break, right at the All-Star break, depending on how it goes,” he said.
