Injuries have cost the three-time American League MVP significant chunks of the past two seasons, so now he accepts that regular days off can help him stay on the field.
After crossing into his 30s and spending significant chunks of the past two seasons on the injured list, Mike Trout has come around on the value of a day off.
In order to try to avoid a similar fate this season, the Angels have a plan for giving him a few more scheduled days off, and Trout, 31, said he’s come to grips with the fact that it is the best solution. Trout has been out for three of the Angels’ first 38 games. Nevin said the plan all along was for him to miss about one in 10 games. If they maintain that pace all season, he would play 146 games. That would be his most since 2016.
Nevin said there are a few things he looks for to determine when Trout needs a day off, but there is one scenario that will always raise a red flag. Major League rules mandate that a team has a day off anytime it flies from the Pacific time zone to the Eastern time zone, but not the other direction. Even though there is a built-in off day when teams fly East, a few years ago the Angels began flying an extra day early to mitigate the impact of the travel. They flew from Southern California to Cleveland on Wednesday night, even though the series begins on Friday.
“You play 18 innings of baseball, you can be in the best shape of your life and you’re still going to be grinding coming out of that,” Trout said. “It probably had something to do with .”
