Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is headed to the injured list again, but there appears to be some optimism he won't miss an extended stretch.

On the evening of May 2, Trout provided a hopeful update on his injury, as well as a potential recovery timeline ( via Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher ).
