What happened: Mike Trout is officially off the 10-day injured list and expected to participate in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game. He was sidelined on June 17 due to a right hamstring strain sustained against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Why it matters: The activation clears him to take the field in the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 2019. The July 14 exhibition in Philadelphia holds extra weight given its proximity to his hometown of Millville, New Jersey.
What to watch: He immediately rejoined the lineup as the designated hitter against the Texas Rangers.
