Mike Trout Hits 13th Homer, Unlikely to Participate in Derby

Mike Trout hit his 13th home run of the season on June 26. The future Hall of Famer drove in his 27th run of the year.

What happened?

Trout took advantage of a cutter left in the middle of the plate by Nathan Eovaldi. He homered to center field in the first inning.

The 34-year-old's health is a concern due to a hamstring injury. This injury may keep him out of the Derby.

Trout's participation in the Derby is unlikely due to his injury. The MLB star's status will be monitored in the coming days.
