ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Angels superstar Mike Trout, hoping for a fully healthy season after being significantly limited by injury the past three years, needs knee surgery, general manager Perry Minasian said Tuesday.

Trout has a torn meniscus in his left knee, Minasian said.

The procedure, which is believed to be scheduled for Friday, isn't considered to be season-ending. A source familiar with Trout's injury said a four- to six-week timetable is a best-case scenario, but a true timeline won't be established until doctors take a closer look.
