Outfielder Mike Trout is getting day off and is not in the Los Angeles Angels' lineup Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers.
With the Angels having an off day Thursday, the star outfielder will get two days off in a row.
Trout hit his league-leading 43rd home run Tuesday night, a solo shot in a 5-2 win over the visiting Rangers. It gave him 100 RBIs on the season.
Trout has a 1.356 OPS and 11 home runs against against Texas this season, and Wednesday night he would have faced Ariel Jurado, against whom he has gone 4 for 6 with three home runs and five RBIs.
