Mike Trout isn't using anything as he sits and sits and sits and sits some more.
He missed 39 games in 2017 with a torn thumb ligament. He missed 19 games in 2018 because of wrist inflammation. He missed 19 more games in 2019 after foot surgery. And now he’s expected to miss six to eight weeks in 2021 with a calf strain, suffered while jogging on the basepaths Monday night.
That six to eight weeks, of course, is now running longer.
