Angels' Mike Trout: Returns to starting nine
Rotowire
Trout (elbow) will start in center field and bat second in Monday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Trout was out of the lineup for Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians due to soreness in his non-throwing elbow, but his ability to enter the game as a pinch hitter suggested he wasn't at much risk of missing further time. Even though Trout is currently sporting an .872 OPS -- his lowest mark since his debut season in 2011 -- fantasy managers can feel comfortable inserting him in lineups this week.

It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and the 31-year-old should be back in the lineup for the Angels within the next couple days. Mickey Moniak is manning center field in Sunday's series finale at Cleveland.

Trout will not play in the Angels' remaining Cactus League games but will participate in the Freeway Series against the Dodgers before the start of the regular season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

He officially ended the tournament by striking out against Angels teammate Shohei Ohtani in the championship game, but he did play well in the WBC with a .296/.406/.556 slash line. Trout should have his timing at the plate down by this point in spring, and another stellar season is expected as long as he can maintain reasonably good health.
