As the Angels remain in the hunt in the American League playoff race, their postseason prospects might have taken a major hit Monday night against the Padres.
During the eighth inning with Los Angeles trailing, 9–3, center fielder Mike Trout left the game with an apparent wrist injury after fouling a pitch off from San Diego’s Nick Martinez. Trout was briefly examined by the Angels’s training staff before heading for the dugout and down the tunnel.
Trout, who’s missed significant time due to various injuries over the past two seasons, has been healthy for all of 2023, playing in 81 of the team’s first 87 games.
