• Angels' Mike Trout: Expected to bat second

  12/12/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Manager Brad Ausmus said he is anticipating Trout hitting second in the Angels' lineup next year, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Trout spent the majority of this past season split between the second and third spots in the order, though Ausmus appears to have a plan in place to put him in the two hole heading into spring training. The bottom line is that there's not much of a difference between these spots for a player of Trout's caliber, but he may wind up scoring a few more runs and having fewer RBI chances if this intention holds true.

• Angels' Mike Trout: Launches 38th homer

  09/23/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Trout went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Astros. For a brief moment it looked like Trout might once again play hero for the Angels, as his eighth-inning shot gave the team a 4-1 lead, but the Los Angeles bullpen completely fell apart in the bottom half of the inning. He's now gone yard in three straight games and five of his last six, and with 38 homers on the year, Trout's now just three back of tying his career high of 41 from 2015 with seven games remaining on the schedule.
