Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels exited a game against the Seattle Mariners due to knee soreness after attempting to beat out a ground ball. Despite initially taking his position in the field, Trout was substituted by Jo Adell before his next at-bat. He attributed the knee soreness to scar tissue breaking up, expressing optimism about returning soon. Having played all 29 games so far, Trout's current season is marked by nine home runs but a notably low batting average of .179 compared to his career average of .297. Last season, Trout faced a season-ending meniscus tear after 29 games, prompting a position change to right field this year to preserve his health.
