The Los Angeles Angels said Tuesday they are shutting down the rehab for star Mike Trout after a recent setback in his recovery from meniscus surgery and placed Anthony Rendon on the injured list.
Trout had surgery on May 3 to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
“We’re going to shut down his rehab in general,” Angels general manager Perry Minasian said of Trout. “He’s going to get re-evaluated. He still doesn’t feel good, so we’ll see where that goes.”
Minasian did not reveal any details about Trout’s setback and did not specify how much more time the 11-time All-Star will miss.
Asked if Trout will be able to come back before the season ends, Minasian said, “We’ll see.”
The three-time MVP began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake last Tuesday, but exited after just two innings because of soreness in the knee. Trout said last Friday that turned out to be some scar tissue that broke up while he was jogging on the field.
He said then he hoped to resume running “any day now,” but did not do so this past weekend, manager Ron Washington said.
Trout was off to a hot start with 10 home runs and an .867 OPS over his first 29 games.
