Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout could return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
Trout will face live pitching at the Angels' spring training complex in Arizona and is expected to start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Bollinger adds.
The 32-year-old has been out of action since April 29 and underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on May 3.
