Mike Trout Hit on Left Hand in Angels’ Win, X-Rays Negative and Status Day-to-Day

The HBP marked his second run-in with Seattle pitchers this series and renewed his concern about high, inside fastballs.

Overview

  • Trout, who was struck Sunday in the eighth inning, left after a 94.2 mph fastball from Mariners reliever Casey Legumina hit his left hand.
  • Postgame X-rays were negative, and manager Kurt Suzuki called it a hand contusion with a day-to-day outlook.
  • Trout tried to stay in before trainer Mike Frostad led him off the field, and Oswald Peraza entered as a pinch-runner.
  • The Angels beat Seattle 8-7 in 11 innings, with Peraza laying down a bunt in the 11th that set up the winning sacrifice fly.
  • This was Trout’s second HBP-related incident of the series after a Bryan Woo pitch Friday, and he later urged Mariners pitchers to avoid throwing high and inside if they cannot command it.
