Angels' Mike Trout: Back in action Friday

Trout (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

A bout of hamstring tightness resulted in Trout's first absence of the season Thursday, but it seems the decision to hold him out was largely precautionary. Trout will return to center field and the three-hole against lefty Dallas Keuchel as he looks to extend his career-long hitting streak to 17 games.
