Los Angeles Angels player Mike Trout is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to an April 30 report from NBC Sports Chicago.
While the procedure will sideline Mr. Trout, it is believed that he will be able to return this season, according to the report.
This is the fourth season in a row that Mr. Trout, one of the two highest-paid players on the team, has been sidelined by a major injury.
He missed all but 36 games of the 2021 season with a strained calf, and he missed several weeks of the 2022 season due to a rare spine injury. Mr. Trout then broke a bone in his hand last season, missing all but one game after July 3. This is the first time he has ever had problems with his knee.
