WEST SACRAMENTO \u2014 Mike Trout\u2019s best season in years is on hold.<\/p>\n

The Angels placed their 34-year-old center fielder on the 10-day injured list before Thursday\u2019s game against the Athletics after he suffered a right hamstring injury while running to first base during his final at-bat in Wednesday afternoon\u2019s loss in Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like a cramp and just didn\u2019t get any better. Achy last night, so woke up this morning and got it looked at,\u201d Trout said before the game.<\/p>\n

The three-time American League MVP also made sure to mention that how it felt Thursday morning compared to the previous night, after the plane ride from Phoenix, was a dramatic improvement. That\u2019s leaving him hopeful that this will be a short stint on the IL. He doesn\u2019t want to put a timeline on it, but he said he\u2019s going to get back as fast as he can.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust running hard and trying to beat out a throw. For me, it doesn\u2019t seem too serious, so we just want to be smart about it,\u201d said Trout, who hasn\u2019t played in more than 130 games in a season since 2019.<\/p>\n

The 11-time All-Star is batting .234 with 17 home runs and 36 RBIs in 74 games this season.<\/p>\n

Trout was second among AL outfielders in fan balloting for the All-Star Game through Sunday, with his 926,601 votes trailing the New York Yankees\u2019 Aaron Judge (977,460), who is also on the injured list.<\/p>\n

Manager Kurt Suzuki added it\u2019s difficult to tell a competitor to take it easy in certain scenarios, like when the team is trailing 8-1 late.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how Mike is wired. Would I want to have him throttle it down? Of course I would, in hindsight. But at the same time, that\u2019s what makes Mike, Mike. He plays the game hard. He sets the example for everybody, and he\u2019s a good role model for the youth out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jose Siri will likely play center field during Trout\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

SAY \u2018HALO\u2019 TO HEINEMAN<\/h4>\n

New Angels catcher Tyler Heineman grew up rooting for the team, and in a social media post, he called Game 7 of the 2002 World Series one of his fondest memories as a kid.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Angels fans, I promise you I will do everything I can to let you experience that joy I had as an 11 year old,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

With veteran Travis d\u2019Arnaud nursing plantar fasciitis and Sebasti\u00e1n Rivero on the IL recovering from a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, the Angels\u2019 catching options had been Logan O\u2019Hoppe and Triple-A backstop Logan Porter.<\/p>\n

After Wednesday\u2019s loss in Phoenix, the Angels remedied that situation, acquiring Heineman, who had been designated for assignment by the Blue Jays, for cash considerations. Porter was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room on the 26-man roster.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Heineman is batting just .154 with a .205 OBP this season, but he ranks in the 82nd percentile in blocking, in the 91st percentile in caught-stealing above average, and the 95th percentile in framing. He lags behind O\u2019Hoppe in ABS challenge success, however, clocking in at a 54% rate to O\u2019Hoppe\u2019s 60%.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalked to a couple of guys that played with him in Toronto,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cEverybody loved throwing to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

After facing the Angels his whole career, Heineman was asked which pitchers he\u2019s now excited to catch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t really had too much success off [Reid] Detmers or [Jos\u00e9] Soriano, to be frank. Soriano\u2019s got that nasty sinker, nasty splitter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

ROSTER MOVES<\/h4>\n

With Trout landing on the IL, the Angels have recalled Christian Moore, who started in left field on Thursday night, batting sixth. Suzuki said to expect Moore, traditionally an infielder, to move around defensively.<\/p>\n

Moore has hit .333 with a .468 OBP and a 1.053 OPS in 51 games with Salt Lake this season.<\/p>\n

He also just started playing left field, racking up nine games, this season. Suzuki said the reports on his defense in left have been good.<\/p>\n

Ryan Johnson, who has made four appearances in relief this season, was called up to start Thursday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

When the Angels optioned him in late May, he landed with Double-A Rocket City, where he was being stretched out as a starting pitcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just felt like Johnson was throwing the ball really well, and being up here earlier this year, we just wanted to give him a shot,\u201d Suzuki noted.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s taking the roster spot of right-hander Brett Kerry, who made his MLB debut in Arizona on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Soriano is just getting an extra day of rest, per Suzuki, after the right-hander was hit with a comebacker during his last start.<\/p>\n

The team also announced that it has released left-hander Drew Pomeranz, who was designated for assignment on Monday.<\/p>\n
