The star center fielder has been out of action since July 12 with a lingering back injury. The official diagnosis on paper was costovertebral dysfunction in the T5 spinal region. Following his treatment, Trout said he's feeling 100 percent. On Thursday, the Angels optioned outfielder Steven Duggar to Triple-A Salt Lake. The move clears up a spot for Trout’s comeback ahead of Friday’s clash against the Detroit Tigers.

His insignificant returns mean that Angels fans aren’t really bothered by Duggar’s demotion. MANUEL1516@Manuel_15160410@JeffFletcherOCR No DFA Really??@JeffFletcherOCR No DFA Really??

Trout faced live pitching on Monday after taking batting practice over the weekend. He enjoyed a day off on Tuesday. If everything goes to plan, we could be seeing him back on the field on Friday. Speaking to MLB.com, Trout said, "Everything feels great. I had a recovery day yesterday and I'm doing some stuff today, and hopefully I'll be in there on Friday. I'm full-go." Trout suffered a season-ending calf strain in May last year. At least this season, his injury won’t be keeping him out for the duration. Mike Trout has a point to prove despite the Angels non-existent postseason chances The Angels are 12.5 games behind for the AL’s final Wild Card Spot. Their chances of making the play-offs are practically non-existent at this point. Hence, it may appear that there is no reason to rush Trout’s return. However, it’s more than just stakes. It’s about making a point. Max Knego@maxknego@JeffFletcherOCR Cool I guess? I say let him have the rest of the season off but that’s just me.1@JeffFletcherOCR Cool I guess? I say let him have the rest of the season off but that’s just me. Drakken@Drakken25849076@maxknego @JeffFletcherOCR Why? Baseball players have legacies to play for..3@maxknego @JeffFletcherOCR Why? Baseball players have legacies to play for.. Prior to his injury, Trout was batting .270/.368/.599 with 24 homers and 51 RBIs in 79 games. He clearly wants to pick up where he left off. The Angels may no longer be realistic contenders for a postseason berth this season, but that lack of pressure may benefit Trout.Vanessa@vanessa080555@JeffFletcherOCR Pad the stats with no pressure e1@JeffFletcherOCR Pad the stats with no pressure e Returning from a serious injury is never easy. With very limited expectations and pressure to make the play-offs, Trout can ease himself back slowly into the groove.
