Mike Trout, a star player for the Los Angeles Angels, is hopeful to return from a hamstring injury next week, just in time for the All-Star Game in Philadelphia. Trout has been sidelined since June 17 after injuring his right hamstring. He has been following his usual pregame routine and plans to hit on the field over the weekend. Both Trout and his manager, Kurt Suzuki, are optimistic about his return. Although not officially selected yet, Trout is expected to be named to the American League’s starting outfield for what would be his 12th All-Star appearance. This year’s game holds special significance for Trout, who grew up near Philadelphia. Despite past injuries preventing his participation, Trout has been performing well this season with a .866 OPS, 17 home runs, and 36 RBIs. However, he has decided against participating in the Home Run Derby to maintain his health.
