MIAMI (AP) - Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has sprained his left thumb stealing a base and is out of the game.
There was no immediate word on whether Trout would miss more time. X-rays were negative Sunday.
Trout yelled in pain as he rose after sliding headfirst in the fifth inning against the Miami Marlins. He was examined by a trainer, stayed in the game and took the field in the bottom of the inning, but was replaced in the sixth.
