Mike Trout dealing with 'pretty rare' back condition, but Los Angeles Angels star says it's manageable, plans to return this season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Mike Trout said he appreciated all the support he received Wednesday after the Los Angels Angels' head athletic trainer revealed the three-time AL MVP had a "rare" spinal condition that could affect him for the rest of his career.

Even if Trout thought the whole thing was blown out of proportion.

"I think he meant that I have to stay on top of the routine I do on a daily basis to keep it from coming back," Trout said after watching his Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 4-0 to clinch their first series win in nearly a month.
