The Los Angeles Angels are considering moving outfielder Mike Trout back to center field in 2026 after a disappointing defensive performance from Jo Adell in 2025. Despite a bone bruise limiting Trout’s time, he played 130 games, posting a subpar .232 batting average. At 34, Trout’s defensive capabilities are declining, and he may only serve as a stopgap until prospect Nelson Rada, who excelled in Triple-A, can join the majors. If Rada performs well, Trout could return to right field or designated hitter to enhance his health prospects.
