In the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, Mike Trout was removed from it by his team due to an injury scare. Fans on social media were left upset by this development regarding the 11-time MLB All-Star.

Health has been a huge issue for Trout in recent years. The 3-time American League MVP has missed a significant amount of time from the field due to various injuries.

During the game on Wednesday, Trout would hit a ground ball and try to beat the throw. While he got thrown out at first base, he seemed to be in some discomfort regarding his knee. The Angels would then take him out of the game as a precautionary measure.

In the past four seasons, he has suffered an injury every time. Last year, he underwent a meniscus surgery on his knee in May. A few months later, the Angels’ star was forced to undergo a 2nd meniscus surgery, which ruled him out for the season. He played just 29 games in 2024.

Ahead of the 2025 season, Trout would undergo a massive transformation. The 33-year-old transitioned to right field in the midst of these health struggles. Him leaving the field on Wednesday has once again raised concerns among the fans.

Fans on social media were left worried by this development. There were some, though, who made sarcastic remarks about this injury and the timing of it. One user wrote, “Dude is made of glass,” while expressing their disappointment towards this.

Check out that and some other reactions from X below:

The timing of this injury is something that has concerned some supporters of the Angels. After a solid start to the 2025 season, the form of the team has dipped again. Despite the team being bottom of the American League West Standings once again, the form of Trout has been good.

In the 29 games this year, the Angels’ superstar has a slash line of .179/.264/.462 while hitting 9 home runs and driving in 18 runs. Through the 29 games he played last season, he managed to hit 10 home runs and had 14 runs with a .220/.325/.541 slash line.

After exiting the game, Trout underwent some basic tests, all of which came back clean. By the end of the game, the Angels star felt some improvement.

When it happened, it was just a weird feeling. After getting treatment stuff, it actually feels a little better. Hopefully, it’s just a little scar tissue breaking up.

Mike Trout told the reporters as per MLB.com

Trout will undergo a few more tests later on. If everything goes well, he will likely take to the field on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.

The Angels on the other hand, will be looking to snap a 5-game losing run on Thursday. Since their 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team have been swept by the Minnesota Twins and the Seattle Mariners in a 3-game and 2-game series, respectively and are 12-17 for the season after 29 games.
