Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout suffered a right calf strain that's expected to keep him sidelined for the next six-to-eight weeks, according to the team.
No corresponding move has been announced to fill Trout's roster spot while he remains on the injured list.
The three-time American League MVP exited his team's game against Cleveland on May 17 with a right calf strain. The injury was another setback for an Angels squad that sat fourth in the American League West at the time.
Los Angeles' position in the standings isn't due to the 29-year-old, who continues to be one of the best players in MLB.
