The Los Angeles Angels were dealt a blow on Tuesday when it was announced that Mike Trout is expected to undergo knee surgery.
The three-time AL MVP has a torn meniscus in his left knee and will require surgery, Angels general manager Perry Minasian announced Tuesday via MLB.com.
However, to some consolation for Angels fans, the injury is not expected to rule him out for the remainder of the season.
According to ESPN, the procedure will take place on Friday and it is currently unknown how long the 32-year-old will be ruled out.
The midfielder played the entirety of LA’s comeback 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The surgery marks the fourth straight season Trout has been plagued by injuries
However, he reportedly began suffering pain during the third inning and underwent an MRI scan on Tuesday morning, which revealed the tear.
The surgery marks the fourth straight season Trout has been plagued by injuries.
Trout hasn’t played more than 140 games in a season since 2018 and was limited to just 82 games last year due to a broken bone in his left wrist.
In 2021, he played just 36 games due to a calf injury he suffered in May, while a back injury limited him to 119 games in 2022.
Trout had made a good start to the 2024 season, tied for the MLB lead in home runs with 10, while driving in 14 with six stolen bases and an .867 OPS.
