Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Angels' 4-3 win over the Marlins on Friday.
Trout opened Friday's scoring with a solo homer in the first inning, marking the sixth time he's hit a long ball on his birthday, tying Alex Rodriguez and Mark Reynolds for the major-league record, per Angels Senior Communications Manager Matt Birch. It was also Trout's first homer since July 8 and 19th of the year, bringing him one step closer to logging 20-plus home runs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2018-19.

Angels' Mike Trout: Perfect at plate in win
Rotowire
Trout went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Trout didn't drive in any runs, but he reached base in all four plate appearances during Sunday's win. It marked the three-time American League MVP's first four-hit effort since April 2021. Since returning from a right hamstring strain July 8, the 34-year-old has slashed .319/.421/.447 with a homer, three doubles, four RBI, six runs and a stolen base in 13 games.
Trout is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Fletcher relays that it's a planned off-day for Trout, who will play center field Saturday and will either play center field or serve as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale. Josh Lowe will start in center field Friday while Wade Meckler and Jo Adell man the corners.
Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Rangers.
Trout missed about three weeks due to a hamstring strain before being reinstated from the injured list Wednesday. He served as the designated hitter in his return to the lineup, and it wouldn't be surprising to see most of his playing time there as he eases back into action without a rehab assignment. The star outfielder is up to 18 homers and 38 RBI on the year, and he's batting .234 with an .874 OPS across 75 contests.

Angels' Mike Trout: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Angels activated Trout (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Trout will skip a rehab assignment and return to the active roster after missing nearly three weeks of action due to a right hamstring strain. The three-time American League MVP will start at designated hitter and bat second in Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.
Trout (hamstring) took batting practice on the field Saturday and said he could return from the 10-day injured list during the Angels' upcoming series with the Rangers, which begins Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Trout has been shelved since June 17 due to a right hamstring strain. He recently ramped up his on-field activities and said Saturday that he ran at about 90 percent speed with "no pain." All signs point to Trout being activated next week, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. Trout was also named an American League All-Star starter Saturday, and he'll presumably be able to appear in the Midsummer Classic as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks during the upcoming week.

Angels' Mike Trout: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said Friday that Trout (hamstring) is improving in his recovery and is "really close" to returning from the 10-day injured list, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Trout continues to progress his recovery from a hamstring injury that landed him on the 10-day IL in mid-June. Per Greg Beacham of The Associated Press, Trout is expected to hit on the field this weekend and is on track to be back with the Angels early next week against the Rangers. Prior to being placed on the IL, Trout had an .866 OPS with seven steals, 17 home runs and 36 RBI across 335 plate appearances.
