Angels star Mike Trout is headed back to the 10-day injured list because of a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left knee.

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 the 33-year-old will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left knee.

Trout originally suffered the injury on April 30, exiting Wednesday's game early. The issue occurred while the outfielder was running to first base. On the evening of May 2, Trout provided a hopeful update on his injury, as well as a potential recovery timeline ( via Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher ).
