Angels "play safety" with Trout's aching calf

ANAHEIM, Calif. – A tight right calf forced Mike Trout to leave Sunday's game early, but the Los Angeles Angels center-field star does not expect to miss much more time, if at all.

"I do not think it's a big deal," said Trout after a 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners, who completed a three-game sweep in the Angels' first home series since the pitcher's death Tyler Skaggs.

The trout had a calf ache early in the game and was retired to start the third inning. He lobbied to stay in the game, but the team instead chose to be cautious with his best player.

Trout, 27, will undergo an MRI on Monday, but Angels manager Brad Ausmus said: "We do not think this is a long-term operation."

Trout averages .305 / .455 / .666, allowing him to win his third most valuable player trophy. He is 12-12 with eight eight-part games this month.

"They are playing just safe," said Trout, who left open the possibility of playing Monday's game against the visiting Houston Astros. "The calves can be hard, you do not want that to get worse."
