Angels to put Mike Trout on IL with bone bruise in knee

Mike Trout takes another significant step toward missing games this season as he's been forced out of the Angels' lineup due to a left knee injury after running into second base during a play against the Seattle Mariners. Manager Ron Washington confirmed the injury is from a bone bruise and acknowledged that while it wasn't deemed serious, Trout might need some rest time. The star outfielder, who has struggled this season with a low batting average and limited home runs despite his 18 RBIs last year after an ACL tear in his knee, will likely miss several games as he recovers. This marks the first complete absence for Trout since tearing his meniscus earlier this season.
