ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout exited Monday night’s game after the first inning because of a strained right calf.
The outfielder was limping after running to third on an inning-ending popup against Cleveland.
The three-time MVP entered the day sixth in the American League with a .333 batting average, but was 1 for 17 in his past six games. He snapped a five-game hitless streak Sunday at Boston, which was a game shy of the longest of his career.
Juan Lagares moved to center field after Trout departed and Jose Rojas entered the game in left.
The Angels opened a 10-game homestand Monday after rallying to defeat the Red Sox in Boston on Sunday.
