2K22: Los Angeles Angels

[Ken]

This sounds pretty ominous:

Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad revealed Wednesday that Mike Trout has been diagnosed with a rare back condition called costovertebral dysfunction.
It is somewhat related to the right ribcage inflammation that sent Trout to the injured list earlier this month. He is not currently doing any baseball activities following a recent cortisone injection and there is no mapped-out timetable for his return. "This is a pretty rare condition that he has right now in his back," Frostad said. "The doctor (Robert Watkins), who is one of the most well-known spine surgeons in the country, if not the world, doesn’t see a lot of these. ... We do have to look at this as something that -- he has to manage it, not just through the rest of this season, but also through the rest of his career probably." Yikes.

After reading a bit more about it and hearing Trout, it may not be quite as dire as initially feared. It seems like something he can manage, even if it means he is somewhat diminished and goes on the IL once in awhile, which is kind of who he has been the last couple of years.
