Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation from his 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, but a recent comment from Angels general manager Perry Minasian has halted the optimism around his potential comeback.
Minasian said that there was a setback in Trout’s rehab, although there was no specific mention of what the issue was, according to The Athletic’s Sam Blum.
When asked about whether Trout would be able to return at all during this season, Minasian simply said “we’ll see.”
Prior to this news, Trout was proceeding normally through the rehab process. He began a minor-league assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake last Tuesday. It only lasted for one at-bat, however.
After being struck out, Trout left the game during the second inning with 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.
