CLEVELAND -- Mike Trout's recovery from a right wrist contusion is taking longer than expected.
Trout was again out of the Angels' lineup Saturday against the Indians at Progressive Field, and he hasn't played since sustaining the ailment in the first inning of the Halos' 7-2 loss to the Rays on Wednesday, making it the third consecutive game the All-Star outfielder has missed. Manager Mike Scioscia said he thought Trout may have been able to pinch-hit if needed on Friday, but revealed pregame on Saturday that Trout is unable to swing a bat due to the injury.
