The Los Angeles Angels placed Mike Trout on the injured list with a left knee contusion, the team announced Friday. The roster move is expected as it was reported after Thursday's 10-4 loss that Trout would be going on the IL.

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is headed to the injured list again, but there appears to be some optimism he won't miss an extended stretch. Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters after Thursday's loss to the Detroit Tigers that Trout will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left knee.

Postgame, Angels manager Ron Washington confirmed that Trout is being placed on the 10-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his left knee—the same knee that required two surgeries for meniscus tears last year.
