27 Mike Trout CF

Trout is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Trout gets Sunday off for the second week in a row as Michael Hermosillo grabs the start in center field for the Angels. Trout is slashing .345/.462/.690 with eight home runs since coming off the disabled list in late August and should return to the lineup Monday against the Rangers.

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.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Astros.

Trout connected on a two-run homer off Gerrit Cole in the six inning of Friday's blowout loss, and he now has four home runs in his last five games. It has been another year of elite production from Trout, as he owns a .316/.461/.633 slash line with 37 home runs, 74 RBI, 97 runs and 24 steals over 582 plate appearances.

Trout went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Trout got the scoring started with a solo shot in the fourth inning -- his 35th long ball of the season. The two-time AL MVP is now 24-for-26 in stolen-base attempts this season and is slashing an absurd .404/.533/.723 since the start of September heading into the final stretch of another terrific campaign.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a walk, double and two-run homer against the Mariners on Saturday.

Trout took Erasmo Ramirez deep in the first inning to record his 34th home run of the season. It was his first home run in a week, though he still ranks seventh in the American League in long balls, despite missing the majority of August. Now hitting .318/.466/.625 across 437 at-bats, Trout has locked in another season of stellar production.
