Trout Out For A Possible 2-3 Months More

Just read that Trout's return might be 2-3 months away.
July or even August.
according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register,
Trout's recovery is currently limited to cardiovascular work on an elliptical machine, a significant step away from the rigors of on-field play. The timeline for his return is now estimated at two to three months, provided there are no further complications.
The three-time American League MVP and perennial All-Star has faced a string of injuries in recent years. Since 2019, Trout has only managed to play in over 100 games in a season once, with setbacks including a torn calf muscle, a rare back condition, a fractured left hamate bone, and now, a torn meniscus.

LAA are not going anywhere this season regardless if Trout is in the lineup or not.
Keep him out for the season
Will never reach 500 HR's or anything near 3000 hits. Another MLB hyped up player that will not achieve the expectations of fans. He will fade in memory over time and be forgotten. To bad really it would have been great if he did live up to expectations for baseball as a whole.
NFL: Buffalo Bills & Green Bay Packers
Trout far exceeded any reasonable fan expectations already by far. It is a shame that he has a genetic back issue and that injuries are going to hamper his career numbers. Its also a shame his career has been wasted on bad Angels teams
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
This is the most expected news in the history of baseball.
He made the most of what he had while he had it. He still had a great career, Some of the great ones like Tony Conigliaro never even had the chance that Trout had. His fortune ended with a fastball to the face and never got the opportunity.
I am not surprised one bit. In fact, I would be surprised if we see him before next season. Trout is a notoriously slow healer and always takes the longer of any time estimate. 3 months would put him into the 2nd week of September. With the Angels being their normal terrible selves, why bring him back this year?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I guess it is lucky that early in his career we did get to see Trout play a few full seasons.
The Royals had the super talented Adalberto Mondesi and he could never stay on the field very long.
They finally had to get rid of him and we never knew what he could do if he was healthy for a full season.
roaming CF @ 235 lbs
i'm surprised that this complete breakdown surprises anyone

Trout should get on the Tom Brady regimen?
@craig44 called it a few years ago when he said Trout will never be healthy again. Good prediction.
Judge had to be close to 280 at 6’7”? I wouldn’t have considered Trout’s size to be a longevity issue. I can understand the weight vs joint argument and there’s probably something there but I believe that’s more of a concern for people with unhealthy weights.
What I’m curious about is whether you believe this applies to everyone or if you see it being more specific to Trout based on assumption of the underlying that has caused his health issues. And if it does apply generally, how it might be applied to other similar players.
Cameron was maybe close to trout. Andrew jones probably a bit closer. Torii Hunter. Carlos Beltran. Trout probably has 10lbs on all of them at least. Perhaps that makes all the difference. But if there is something to it I would expect a guy like Judge to be impacted more than Trout. Am I misunderstanding?
no empirical evidence, as i keep up with baseball about as much as i do soccer now, just pure theory on my part. i tossed out the 235 figure one time and i think it was tabe who came along and said that i was being very generous -- implying that he weighed more. conventional wisdom says you'll eventually pay the price for lugging around that many lbs while patrolling center field 150-some-odd games each season.
i really can't speak on Judge because as i said, i really don't follow baseball anymore. but if his playing activity hasn't been truncated @ 280 then that's pretty remarkable
my fav player was Vlad Guerrero and by the time his playing days were over he could barely run, and this is a guy who missed a 40/40 season by two feet in 2002. a lot of the deterioration had to do with the concrete he played on in Montreal, but there also had to be a correlation between him entering the league at 165 and exiting at -- at least -- 240

Miguel Cabrera got worse the fatter he got, and I think by the end of his career he was teetering between obesity and morbid obesity.
His greatness lasted until age 33, then injuries and not taking care of himself caught up to him.
But he was such a great hitter that even his OPS+ dropping from 155 to 140 from age 34 to retirement doesn’t diminish what he accomplished.
