ANAHEIM -- Angels center fielder Mike Trout was out of the starting lineup for the first time this season on Tuesday, while nursing soreness in his left heel.
He isn't quite sure how it happened.
"When I woke up, it didn't feel right," Trout said. "I got treatment today, and it's a lot better than it was this morning. I'll definitely try to be in there tomorrow."
The Angels' initial lineup was without both Trout and Albert Pujols, who have combined for 57 home runs. Pujols had been scheduled to be off on Tuesday, but asked Angels manager Mike Scioscia to put him back in the lineup when he realized Trout wouldn't play.
