He lunged toward first base at full speed and came up just short of beating the throw. Though he remained in the game for the bottom of the inning, he was pulled before his next at-bat and replaced by Jo Adell.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is Mike Trout's final at-bat of the game as he was pinch-hit for in the top of the fourth inning<br><br>The Angels have not announced why Trout was pulled from the game<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeffFletcherOCR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@JeffFletcherOCR<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/196kNzoMMV\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/196kNzoMMV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1917697197488906306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><em>&ldquo;When it happened, I knew it was like just a weird one,&rdquo;<\/em> Trout said postgame. <em>&ldquo;But now, after getting treatment and stuff, I should be a little better soon.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>The 11-time All-Star underwent tests after the game and speculated that the discomfort might be from scar tissue loosening up.

Exactly one year and one day ago, Trout&rsquo;s red-hot 2024 campaign was abruptly halted by a torn meniscus in the same knee. That injury led to a lengthy rehab stint, which was cut short after just two innings when Trout experienced renewed pain.
