Trout has spent the entirety of his career so far with the Angels, carving out a Hall of Fame resumé featuring three MVP awards and 11 All-Star appearances. His career would be the envy of nearly any player if it didn't come with one major blemish—a lack of postseason success.

The Phillies are hosting the Angels for a three-game series leading to further discussion about a potential Mike Trout homecoming.

If not for a rash of injuries that have seen Trout play over 100 games just once in the last five full seasons - and just 29 games last year - he would have hit those milestones a while ago. When the Angels were last in Philadelphia in 2023, Trout was on the injured list.
