Trout, who is out with a bruised left knee, says he’s been hitting and could start running early next week. He’s eligible to come off the injured list on Sunday.

Without the star outfielder, the Angels have still been able to rack up homers due to contributions from Logan O'Hoppe and Taylor Ward. Their 51 home runs as a team are tied for the fifth-most in the majors this season.

Angels star MIke Trout quelled the many concerns about the injury that has kept him out since April 30. The outfielder has a knee bruise.
