The Story: Mike Trout needed an MRI on his wrist and missed last night’s game as a result.
The Monkey Says: The MRI came back clean. The Angels were just being cautious with Trout since he’s their entire franchise. It sounds like he could be back in the lineup as soon as tonight.
The Story: In DeJesus and Murphy, the Angels are stockpiling platoon outfielders.
The Monkey Says: It is a bit surprising that they brought in someone to platoon with Cron at DH, though not entirely unwelcome.
