Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon says he would be 'very surprised' if star Mike Trout (calf) returns in 2021

CHICAGO -- Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout isn't expected to play the rest of the season, according to manager Joe Maddon.

Trout, 30, has been out of action since mid-May with a right calf injury. With only weeks remaining in the regular season, Maddon doesn't see time being on his side.

"I'm not anticipating anything to change in regards to him playing," Maddon said Wednesday afternoon. "I'd be very surprised."

Trout's rehab has been slowed by soreness in his calf. Maddon indicated Trout's desire is to be playing but said he can't see it happening again until 2022.
