Angels' Mike Trout reportedly suffered setback in surgery rehab, leaving potential return this season in doubt
Trout hasn’t played since late April due to a torn meniscus in his left knee
Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation from knee surgery.
Trout hasn’t played since late April due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. He underwent surgery to repair the damage and was progressing with rehab in the minor leagues, but a recent comment from Angels general manager Perry Minasian has halted the optimism around Trout's potential comeback.
Minasian said that there was a setback in Trout’s rehab, though there was no specific mention of the issue, according to The Athletic’s Sam Blum.
When asked whether Trout would be able to return this season, Minasian simply said, “We’ll see.”

Prior to this news, Trout began a minor-league assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake last Tuesday. It lasted for only one at-bat, however.
After being struck out, Trout left the game during the second inning due to what the team listed as left knee soreness. It was noted as a day-to-day injury.
Before he was sidelined, Trout played in 29 games for the Angels and hit .220/.325/.541 (138 OPS+) with 10 home runs and six stolen bases.
