ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although Mike Trout has not resumed running nearly seven weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder is optimistic about his recovery.
Trout provided an update on his progress Tuesday before the Angels hosted the Milwaukee Brewers. The three-time AL MVP hasn't played since April 29.
"It's getting there," Trout said. "Obviously slower than I thought, but it's the first time with a knee injury. I'm trusting the process and taking it day by day."
The 32-year-old Trout first felt pain in his knee during a win over his hometown Philadelphia Phillies, and an MRI exam confirmed he had torn his meniscus -- although he had no idea when or how the injury occurred in a fairly normal game.
