HOUSTON —
Angels center fielder Mike Trout left Thursday’s game against the Houston Astros in the fifth inning with a left elbow contusion, the Angels said, after he was hit by a pitch the inning before.
The Angels did not immediately say whether the injury would keep Trout out of the lineup in coming days.
Leading off the fourth inning, Trout got to a full count against Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier. With the payoff pitch, Javier threw a 93.1 mph fastball up and in. The ball hit Trout directly on the pad protecting his elbow, which he left extended from his body.
