Mike Trout out 6-8 weeks with right calf strain

Los Angeles Angels superstar outfielder Mike Trout will miss six to eight weeks with a right calf strain, the team announced on Tuesday.

Trout suffered the injury in Monday’s home game against Cleveland, and left the game in the second inning.

The Angels on Tuesday placed Trout on the injured list, though haven’t yet announced the corresponding move.

It’s a devastating blow to lose the best player in baseball for any stretch of time, as Trout is hitting .333/.466/.624 with eight home runs.
