Trout’s hamstring sends Angels back to IL—playoff math tightens

Mike Trout is headed back to the injured list—again—with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, the third IL stint of his age-35 season and the latest blow to the ’ playoff aspirations. 600 with 12 homers and 35 RBIs in 38 games, but his latest absence underscores a brutal truth: Anaheim’s franchise icon is no longer the ironman he once was. The hamstring strain, diagnosed after Trout exited a game on August 14, will sideline him for at least three weeks, per team and league sources, with the possibility of a longer recovery looming.
