Despite falling to a series sweep against the New York Yankees, there's a buzz among Los Angeles Angels fans after the team optioned Matthew Lugo to Triple-A affiliate Salt Lake Bees on Thursday. Lugo's exit has indicated a return for three-time MVP Mike Trout to the lineup.Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list after a bone injury in his left knee on April 30. Trout has been out of action since with the team calling up Matthew Lugo as a potential cover in the outfield.Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher reported that Lugo's departure will be followed by Trout's return with the team set to activate the perennial All-Star from the injured list this week.The news has created a buzz among Angels fans, who were deflated after their recent run of results in Trout's absence."Angels are so bad. Hopefully trout can help them get some street cred back," wrote a fan."Baseball is better with a healthy Mike Trout," wrote another fan."Best news I’ve heard all day!"Some fans are skeptical about the three-time MVP's health status given his injury history."Just for him to play 20 games and sit out another two months? Softest player in baseball," alleged a fan."What’s the over-under on how many games he plays before he’s back on the IL? I’m gonna say 15 games," wrote another fan."I thought Trout couldn’t even run at full speed yet… Is this a good idea?" Enquired a fan.Mike Trout will need to pull weight for slumping AngelsMike Trout's injury was a big blow for the Angels who struggled without the superstar last season. However, the Angels went on a stellar run without Trout. They swept defending World Series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers and followed it with a four-game sweep of the Athletics to win eight consecutive games.However, two consecutive series defeats, including three consecutive defeats against the New York Yankees this week, have highlighted the team's offensive shortcomings, scoring just three runs in the three-game series.Trout is 179/.264/.462 with nine home runs and 18 RBI in 29 games this season, and the Angles would hope he could better his career-low batting average after his return.
