Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout will undergo knee surgery to address a torn meniscus, team general manager Perry Minasian announced. Trout is expected to return this season.

It is unknown when the 32-year-old former MVP suffered the knee injury. Trout played the entirety of the Angels’ 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in center field Monday and did not appear to be hurt. 

Trout has a .220 batting average and .867 OPS in 29 games this season, but is tied for the MLB lead with 10 home runs. He is an 11-time All-Star and has won American League MVP three times, and has been considered one of the best overall players in baseball throughout the vast majority of his 13-year MLB career, all of which has been spent with the Angels.

Trout has missed significant time during each of the last three seasons due to injuries.
