ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout decided that having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee was a better alternative than postponing surgery and being a designated hitter the rest of the season. The Los Angeles Angels slugger said before Thursday’s game that being a DH was an alternative option presented, but that he didn’t think it was worth it. Trout is sidelined with a major injury for the fourth straight season. He still doesn’t know when the latest one occurred. The knee soreness worsened during an April 29 game against the Philadelphia Phillies and an MRI exam the next day revealed the tear. He underwent surgery last Friday when the Angels began a six-game road trip.
