Trout to return to Angels’ lineup Friday

Mike Trout will return to the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup Friday after missing 39 games with an injured thumb.

Angels spokesman Tim Mead confirmed the club’s plan Sunday night after Trout’s fourth rehabilitation game with Class-A Inland Empire.

Trout has been out since May 28, when he tore a ligament in his left thumb while sliding headfirst into second base. The two-time AL MVP had surgery and missed six weeks of big-league action.

The Angels (45-47) return from the All-Star break at home Friday against Tampa Bay. Los Angeles went 19-20 during Trout’s absence, staying in second place in the AL West.

Trout was the All-Star Game’s MVP in 2014 and 2015.

Maddon lone Cub from World Series Champs

World Series champions usually get to keep on celebrating at the following year’s All-Star Game.

Not this year.

Manager Joe Maddon is the only member of the Cubs’ first championship team since 1908 attending the All-Star Game. With the Cubs languishing at 43-45, tied for second in the NL Central and 51/2 games back of Milwaukee, their only All-Star is Wade Davis. The reliever was acquired in December in a trade with Kansas City.

“Yesterday was an awkward moment for me accepting my jersey in front of our entire team in Wrigley Field,” Maddon said Monday. “To be presented a jersey on our field in front of all of our fans and have none of our players out there was different. It was difficult.”

The previous World Series champion with just one All-Star was the St. Louis Cardinals in 2007 with Albert Pujols.

Davis predicted a rebound after the All-Star Game.

“There’s a lot of talent on that team and they’ll be fine. They’re going to be good,” he said. “I guarantee it.”
