Mike Trout looks to be heading to the disabled list for the first time in his career.
The Angels outfielder jammed his thumb while sliding into second base on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Trout tried to stay in the game but was eventually pulled, then underwent an MRI on Monday. It did not bring great news.
Mike Trout has a UCL tear in his left thumb. Surgery is an option. He's heading to the DL for the first time in his career.
Surgery is on the table for the 25-year-old Trout and, if that’s the chosen course of action, he could be out weeks.
