Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is set to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee, an injury he sustained during a game. Trout, visibly emotional and fighting back tears, discussed the injury with the press, noting he first felt discomfort in the third inning but did not experience severe pain until after the game. Despite the setback, the surgery is not expected to be season-ending, with a best-case recovery scenario of 4 to 6 weeks, though no specific timetable for his return has been provided. This marks Trout's fourth major injury in the last four seasons, raising concerns about the long-term impact on his career.
