Trout struggled with a .179/.264/.462 batting line before a knee injury placed him on the injured list on May 2. After being activated, he showed significant improvement, batting .287/.432/.483 in his last 183 plate appearances. His success correlates with his exclusive role as a designated hitter, which has helped manage his leg health following recent injuries. While eager to return to right field, both Trout and the interim manager recognize the benefits of limiting his outfield appearances to maintain his performance.
Since returning from the injured list, Trout has batted .287/.432/.483 across his last 183 plate appearances, highlighting his improved performance as a designated hitter.
Angels have cautiously managed Trout's leg health due to previous injuries, allowing him to excel while exclusively serving as DH since his activation.
