ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout was pulled from the Angels’ eventual 6-3 win over the Mariners because of right calf tightness.

The two-time AL MVP left before the start of the third inning on Sunday, interrupting his incredible recent success at the plate, but it doesn’t appear he will be gone long. The star center fielder doesn’t anticipate missing too much time.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal,” Trout told reporters. “It kind of felt tight. Just playing it safe.

Trout said he was unsure if he will undergo any further test and that he wanted to stay in the game.

“It feels fine,” Trout added. “My mentality is just playing it safe. Calves can be tough and you don’t want it to get worse. It doesn’t feel terrible right now. We’ll see how it feels tomorrow.”

Trout lined out to first in his only plate appearance against Yusei Kikuchi. The outfielder didn’t emerge from the dugout to start the third, with Kole Calhoun moving over from right field to center and David Fletcher moving from shortstop to right.

Starting before the All-Star break, Trout was on an offensive tear even by his lofty standards. He had eight homers and 18 RBIs in his previous seven games, becoming just the sixth player in AL history to reach those totals in a seven-game span.
