Jo Adell was the star of the show last weekend, but the Los Angeles Angels faced a potential problem after Sunday.
A day after Adell robbed Seattle of three home runs, the Angels beat the Mariners, 8-7, in 11 innings at Angel Stadium. However, there was a scare in the eighth inning when Mike Trout took Casey Legumina's fastball to his left hand.
The three-time American League MVP tried to remain in the game and walked down the first-base line. However, he left the game with trainer Mike Frostad before being replaced by pinch-runner Oswald Peraza. It was revealed after the game that Trout's X-rays came back negative, and the 11-time All-Star is day-to-day.

“After looking at how swollen it got, it scared me,” Trout told reporters Sunday, per MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. “So I’m just relieved it’s not broken.”

Sunday marked the second time in the series that a Mariners pitcher hit Trout with a pitch when Bryan Woo went up and in on two straight pitches on Trout. The Angels superstar said that Woo later apologized, per Bollinger.
“We know where they're trying to get me out, fastballs up and in, so it's just frustrating,” Trout said, per Bollinger. “You know, if you can't control it up there, you shouldn't do it. So it is what it is."
The fact that Trout won't miss a significant amount of time is good for Kurt Suzuki's side, but they could have to navigate the Atlanta Braves series without Trout, as they enter the series with a 5-5 record to start the season.
