Mike Trout Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels future Hall of Fame outfielder Mike Trout was at it again in Game 2 of the regular season in Friday's 6-2 win on the road against the Houston Astros. Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk, and he's now 4-for-6 at the plate with two home runs, four walks, and a stolen base through the season's first two games. The 34-year-old has looked like vintage Mike Trout in the early going, but fantasy managers are probably cautiously optimistic after all the time he has missed in recent seasons due to injuries. The three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star has played over 100 games only twice in the last five seasons due to various injuries, which have also curbed his stolen-base numbers (14 steals since the start of 2021). Trout hit only .232 in 130 games in 2025, but he managed to club 26 home runs in 556 plate appearances. If he can stay healthy, Trout could end up being a steal for fantasy managers, especially if he runs more than he has in the last five years.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout looked like his old self in the team's 3-0 shutout win over the division-rival Houston Astros on Thursday on Opening Day. Trout led the way offensively for the Halos on a day where runs were at a premium, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks, and a strikeout. The 34-year-old 11-time All-Star and three-time MVP hit his home run off reliever AJ Blubaugh in the seventh inning to give his team a 1-0 lead at the time. Trout obviously has the skills to be a fantasy contributor across all categories, but he's also become much more of a risk as he enters his mid-30s due to injuries. He has played in under 100 games in three of the last five seasons. Trout hit 26 home runs and drove in 64 runs in 130 games in 2025, although he stole just two bases. It is very encouraging to see Trout steal a bag in the season opener. If he keeps it up and stays healthy, he'll be a major draft-day steal.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) was back in the starting lineup for Sunday's Freeway Series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was removed from Friday's Cactus League contest after getting hit by a pitch on his hand. He was immediately taken out of the game and underwent precautionary X-rays, which came back negative. The Angels gave Trout a day off to rest before he returned to the lineup on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about this injury impacting his status for Opening Day. The three-time MVP slashed .232/.359/.439 with 26 home runs and 64 RBI in 128 games last season. His ADP is around 167, which seems fair given Trout has only played over 100 games twice since 2021.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) underwent a precautionary X-ray on his hand on Friday, but it came back negative, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Trout was hit by a pitch in Friday's Cactus League game against the Chicago White Sox in his first plate appearance. The 34-year-old veteran stayed in the game to run the bases but was later pulled and sent for precautionary tests. With X-rays negative, the future Hall of Famer will be just fine for Opening Day next week. The three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star came into Friday's game hitting just .219 (7-for-32) with no homers, four doubles, two RBI, one run scored, three walks, and nine strikeouts in 12 Cactus League games. Trout was a lock for a first-round fantasy selection for years on end, but he's now ranked as RotoBaller's No. 43 outfielder because of his inability to stay healthy in recent seasons. Since the start of the 2021 season, Trout has played in over 100 games just twice. He had 26 homers in 556 plate appearances in 2025, but his injuries have taken their toll.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is playing in left field in the Cactus League game on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs, and the Angels are going to move him around in all three outfield spots this spring to "see what works best," according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Trout wants to return to center field, where he feels most comfortable, but that might not be in the Angels' best interest if they want to keep the aging outfielder healthy for the entire season. The 34-year-old three-time MVP, 11-time All-Star, and nine-time Silver Slugger winner started as the team's right fielder in 2025 before eventually becoming the full-time designated hitter after suffering a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left knee in late April. Trout will eventually be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but he's past his prime now and has durability issues. At the right price, though, Trout still has plenty of fantasy value after hitting 26 homers last year. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 45 fantasy outfielder.

The Los Angeles Angels may allow outfielder Mike Trout to play center field again in 2026. General manager Perry Minasian said he's keeping his options open, which includes Trout seeing time at all three outfield positions. Trout, 34, appeared in 130 games last season, his highest total since 2019. He served as the designated hitter in 106 games and played right field in just 22, reinforcing the idea that keeping him out of center field is likely the best path to preserving his health. In 2025, Trout slashed .232/.359/.439 with 26 home runs, 64 RBI, and 74 runs scored, good for a 120 wRC+. With a current ADP of 194, the future Hall of Fame slugger offers power upside without requiring a significant draft-day investment.

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/outfielder Mike Trout is getting the night off versus the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Yoan Moncada will DH and hit third against right-hander Stephen Kolek, while Luis Rengifo will take over at the hot corner and bat fifth. Trout slugged the 400th home run of his illustrious career last Saturday, but the 34-year-old has otherwise struggled since the All-Star break. He has gone deep just five times and posted a pedestrian .686 OPS in 56 games during the second half. Thanks to a more productive first few months of the season, Trout has hit 227/.356/.412 with 22 homers, 59 RBI, 68 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 543 trips to the plate.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout accomplished a huge milestone during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Trout put his name in the history books when he blasted a 485-foot home run in the eighth inning. He became the 59th player in history to reach 400-homers and 200-plus stolen bases by his age 33-season. He joins the elite company of Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Alex Rodriguez. Trout is certainly a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but it would be nice to see some postseason success before his career is over. This season, Trout is slashing .229/.358/.414 with 22 home runs, 59 RBI, and two steals.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (body) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Trout is back in the mix after missing each of the last two games due to a skin infection. He appears to be feeling good enough to play on Thursday, but won't play in the field. Trout will bat second and serve as the designated hitter versus left-hander Noah Cameron. The 34-year-old has struggled with the bat recently, but still needs to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/outfielder Mike Trout (undisclosed) plans to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals, Erica Weston of FanDuel Sports Network West reports. A skin infection has kept Trout out of back-to-back games, but he's feeling better and is optimistic he won't miss any more time. This has been a difficult season for Trout, as the 34-year-old future Hall of Famer hasn't played in the outfield since April 30 as a result of a bone bruise in his left knee. Worsening matters, Trout's offensive production has plummeted in comparison to his extraordinary career output. On the heels of a rough August (.669 OPS in 24 games), Trout has hit .231/.361/.425 with 20 homers, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored, and two stolen bases over 466 plate appearances in 2025.
