The Angels have placed center fielder Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand that he suffered Monday night against the Padres.

The 11-time All-Star left Monday’s game in the eighth inning while after fouling off a pitch from San Diego’s Nick Martinez. The Angels training staff then examined Trout in the dugout before he made his way to the locker room.

“I just took a swing, and something felt uncomfortable,” Trout said, via ESPN. “I can’t describe the pain I felt. I never felt it before, ever, before this. I never had wrist problems or anything. Just freak things.”

This is Trout’s first injury of the season, as he played in 81 of his team’s first 87 games. The center fielder is slashing .263/.369/.493 with 18 home runs and 44 RBIs this season.

In the past two seasons, Trout was limited to 155 total games due to injury.
