The three-time AL MVP has played just one game since fracturing the hamate bone in his left hand on July 3. The center fielder returned Aug. 22 but was shut down the next day due to discomfort.

“He’s progressing,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. “He took some dry swings today and he feels good. So, it’s just kind of a day to day thing He wanted to come on this trip and start that progresssion towards building up to swings.”

Nevin said it is hard to say what Trout’s schedule will be.

“Where that puts us, I couldn’t answer that,” Nevin said, “It’s all on how he’s going to feel over the next few days and the next week.”

Trout is hitting .263 with 18 homers and 44 RBIs in 82 games this season.

“I think right now for his peace of mind he wants to build up and get in some swings, and see how it goes,” Nevin said. “Obviously, you’ve got to see live pitching, It’s a progression here. It’s been 12, 13 weeks now. There’s build up to this, and he’s just starting to swing today, really.”

Left-hander Reid Detmers, who missed his scheduled start Sunday because of illness, will take the mound Wednesday night against the Rays.

Outfielder Jo Adell was reinstated from the 60-day IL after missing 59 games and started in right field. Infielder Kyren Paris went on the 60-day IL with a left thumb ligament tear.

Mike Moustakas, placed on the 10-day IL retroactive to Sept. 14 with a left forearm strain, took swings and will increase his on-field work over the next couple days. Nevin thinks the first baseman will be able to play again before the season ends.

Angels right-hander Chase Silseth allowed two runs over one-third of an inning Sunday for Triple-A Salt Lake in his first outing since getting a concussion on an errant throw during a game on Aug. 26 against the New York Mets.

“He felt healthy,” Nevin said. “His head was clear, which is what we were looking for the most. The positive side is he felt really good coming out of it.”

Third baseman Gio Urshela, out for the year with a left pelvis fracture that occured in mid-June, is running on a treadmill and during limited drills on the field.

“When this happened, truth be told, there was some question it could be a career-affecting thing,” Nevin said. “I think we’ve gotten to the point where that’s not the case as his build up has gone.”
