HOUSTON -- Mike Trout was out of the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night, a day after the star center fielder was hit on his left hand by a pitch.
Team trainer Mike Frostad said an MRI on Monday was negative for a fracture and that Trout has a bruise. Frostad added Trout's return to the lineup will depend on pain tolerance.
Manager Joe Maddon said Trout is considered day-to-day with the injury but wasn't sure if he'd return during this series with the Houston Astros, which ends Wednesday.
