Los Angeles Angels<\/a> superstar center fielder Mike Trout<\/a> left his team’s 8-7 win<\/a> over the Seattle Mariners<\/a> on Sunday afternoon after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Trout, 34, originally headed to first base after being hit by Casey Legumina<\/a>‘s 0-1 fastball, before he was escorted to the dugout by the club’s training staff. He was sent for X-rays and is considered day-to-day, Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said in his postgame news conference.<\/p>\n

“It’s just a contusion,” the first-year manager said. “So, we’ll see how he feels tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Trout was 1-for-4 in the win, and has two home runs and three RBIs for the new-look Angels, who improved to 5-5 this season, taking two of three from the defending American League West champions.<\/p>\n

Oswald Peraza<\/a> replaced Trout in the lineup. In the 11th inning, with the score tied 7-7, Peraza successfully sacrificed the eventual winning run to third base with a bunt. One batter later, Nolan Schanuel<\/a>‘s sacrifice fly scored Adam Frazier<\/a> from third to seal the win.<\/p>\n

“What a team effort,” Suzuki said. “We focus on the little things. It’s not going to be perfect. But if we keep focusing, and we stay the course, more times than not, I will feel good about our chances.”<\/p>\n

Trout potentially dodging a stint on the injured list would be welcome news for Suzuki. Last season, the three-time MVP was placed on the IL on May 2 because of a left knee contusion. He missed 26 games.<\/p>\n
