Mike Trout is set to return to the Angels after a month long injury, adding much-needed power to the lineup as the team struggles. Meanwhile, Guardians' star Jose Ramirez is maintaining a remarkable 21-game hitting streak, showcasing his continued excellence this season. Lastly, the Rockies find themselves in a tough spot as June nears, leaving fans questioning how their performance might worsen. The overall focus remains on the crucial impact of key players returning from injury and the implications of ongoing performance trends in the league.
Angels fans will be happy to have the three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star back for his value at the plate. Trout's .179/.264/.462 slash (95 wRC+) this year would be by far the worst season of his career, but his nine home runs in just 121 plate appearances were very impressive.
After going hitless on May 4, Ramirez collected hits in both halves of a May 6 doubleheader and has maintained the streak ever since, slashing a phenomenal .393/.446/.655 with a strikeout rate of just 10.9% during that time.
The Rockies continue to struggle as we approach June, and it remains to be seen how low their performance can go this season.
