After a disappointing trade deadline, the Los Angeles Angels were faced with the possibility of not having their star return this season.

Speaking to reporters after the 6 p.m. EST deadline, Angels general manager Perry Minasian revealed that Mike Trout faced a setback during his rehab assignment. When asked whether Trout will play again this season, Minasian, according to The Athletic’s Sam Blum, replied with, “we’ll see.”

Trout underwent surgery in April to repair a torn left meniscus. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A last week. But was removed after one at-bat with left knee soreness. The three-time MVP seemed optimistic about continuing his rehab assignment after an MRI came back clean, but it’s unclear what, if anything, changed over the last week.

Trout is no stranger to injuries. In 2017 he suffered a torn thumb ligament, a calf strain in 2021, back inflammation in 2022 and a broken hamate in 2023. The back inflammation was diagnosed as costovertebral dysfunction, which will likely stay with Trout for the remainder of his career.

At the time of his meniscus injury, Trout was batting .220 with 10 home runs and 14 RBI.

It’s not ideal for the Angels, who sit at 46-60 going into Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, to be without arguably their best player. But it doesn’t sound like Minasian has his eyes on the postseason, saying “next question” when asked if he thought LA could make a push.
