Nevin said last year in Seattle the Angels played Trout in five games in four days in Seattle, and shortly after that he had a back injury, so he wants to be careful to give Trout off days this yea…
BOSTON — When Phil Nevin faces a lineup choice like he did on Monday, the Angels manager flashes back to last June in Seattle.
So on Monday, for a Patriots’ Day game scheduled to start at 11 a.m. local time, Nevin gave both Trout and Anthony Rendon the day off, with Shohei Ohtani on the mound. “I have days mapped out for some guys coming up and we’re gonna stick to them regardless of how we’re playing,” Nevin said. “As poorly as we know we’ve played, we’ve talked about it, we’re 7-8 and we’re right there. As quick as it can turn around like it did last year, it can turn around in our favor too. I’m not worried at all about this club.”
Brett Phillips started in Trout’s place in center field, and Gio Urshela started at third, with Jake Lamb taking Urshela’s place at first.
