Mike Trout is back in the lineup for the Los Angeles Angels and seeing him do what he does best — hitting home runs — is a welcome sight for the team’s fans.
Trout hit his first homer since returning to the lineup after a 10-day injury list stint due to his left knee. The three-time MVP launched a three-run shot against the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the Angels’ series at Fenway Park, his first since April 25.
It’s Trout’s ninth dinger on the season, and it comes with the Angels after having dropped two of three over the weekend against the Cleveland Guardians. But the positive development was seeing Trout back in the lineup for both the Friday and Saturday games in Cleveland before sitting out the Sunday finale.
Prior to going on the IL on April 30, Trout had been hitting a career-low .179. Since his return, he’s had six hits in the four games he’s played — including Monday’s 454-ft homer.
The Angels are bringing their star hitter back slowly. Trout has yet to play in right field since coming back from the IL and is expected to be the designated hitter for the time being. Once the team returns to Anaheim, manager Ron Washington will assess when the 11-time All-Star go back to playing defense.
The Angels were able to keep pace with Trout sidelined, which included an eight-game winning streak composed of series sweeps of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Athletics. But they’ve stumbled since then by dropping seven of eight.

Edmundo sinaliza equívoco do Flamengo em contratações no mercado da bola: “Erra mais que o Palmeiras”
Edmundo, em transmissão no canal Mundo Ed (Reprodução) Edmundo acredita que, mesmo somando receitas astronômicas, Flamengo e Palmeiras correm riscos no mercado da bola. Segundo o ex-atacante, o Rubro-Negro vem cometendo mais erros nas contratações em relação ao Palmeiras. Isso porque, além do investimento em compras, o atual elenco dirigido por Filipe Luís possui jogadores com custos milionários e que, em alguns momentos, não compensam o valor presente na folha salarial. “Contratar não é fácil. Os times mais ricos do Brasil, hoje, Flamengo e Palmeiras, até esses clubes têm dificuldades de contratar. O Flamengo erra até mais que o Palmeiras. Com essa nova gestão, tem contratado jogadores de muito nome. Teoricamente, é mais difícil de errar, mas (está) pagando salários absurdamente altos sem a certeza de que os mesmos vão arrebentar e trazer os títulos que o clube precisa.”, disse […]

Tyrese Haliburton explains why the Pacers spent last summer ‘pissed off’ after many considered them a ‘fluke’
The Indiana Pacers looked dead in the water for most of Game 1 in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder Thursday night. In fact, the Pacers didn't lead until 0.3 seconds were left in the game, thanks to yet another clutch shot from Tyrese Haliburton, who, with the help of some fourth-quarter heroics from Andrew Nembhard, shocked OKC and stole Game 1 on the road.It adds a layer of intrigue to an NBA Finals matchup that many didn't see going past five games. And while that certainly still could happen, the Pacers showed everyone yet again they're more than deserving to be on this stage against this team. They still may be heavy underdogs to win this series, but that's OK with the Pacers, as Haliburton said after hitting the go-ahead jumper to seal the win that this […]
