Angels' Trout Injured, Misses Series vs. Athletics
19 Jun
Summary
- Mike Trout placed on IL with hamstring strain, missing the series.
- Athletics rookie Gage Jump starts against the Angels.
- Angels' Ryan Johnson makes his second career start.
The Oakland Athletics are set to host the Los Angeles Angels for the first series between the division rivals this season, marking the final stretch of the A's lengthy homestand. The Athletics will feature rookie Gage Jump on the mound, who has impressed since joining the major league rotation.
Leading off for the A's is Zack Gelof, followed by a familiar middle-of-the-order with Kurtz, Langeliers, Soderstrom, and Wilson. Jonah Heim will serve as the designated hitter, while Carlos Cortes starts in right field. Henry Bolte and Jeff McNeil round out the lineup in center field and second base, respectively.
The Angels will counter Jump with right-handed pitcher Ryan Johnson, making only his second career start. Given Johnson's limited experience and less-than-stellar numbers, the Athletics are expected to target him. Adding to the Angels' challenge, Mike Trout has been placed on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, ruling him out for the entire series.
