UPDATE, 5:26 p.m. PT: Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington confirmed after the game that Mike Trout exited the game as a precaution due to left knee soreness.

3:22 p.m. PT: SEATTLE — The most recent years of the career of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout have been defined by injuries. And there's a chance the former American League MVP added another ailment to a long list of them.

Trout exited a game against AL West rivals, the Seattle Mariners, on Wednesday. He had two at-bats before getting pulled from the game. Jo Adell hit for Trout in the top of the fourth.

Trout's last at-bat was a groundout. He ran hard to first base but was out by a half-step. Trout was running full-speed and looked to plant his foot hard on first base.
