In 79 games this season, Trout has a batting average of 20.7 minutes, 24 homers, and 51 RBIs. He left the battlefield after July 12 and was on the injured list due to inflammation of the left chest, but before the game on the 17th (18th), he said, “I’m just looking forward to playing with my friends. I’m just sitting here. And it’s hard not to be able to play with them,” he said, indicating his intention to return from the Detroit trip.
