Angels Notes: Mike Trout Incident With Fan, Shocking Trade Idea, Ominous Injury Update

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels improved to 9-5 on the year, defeating the Houston Astros, 4-1, but it wasn't without some drama involving a fan interfering with Mike Trout.
Trout made a leaping attempt at a catch, but the ball was then pulled out of his glove by a visibly shaken-up fan who even offered to give the ball back. The umpires then decided that instead of fan interference, it was a foul ball.
In other Angels news, a pitcher is linked to a National League contender in what would be a surprising trade. The right-hander is having a dominant start to his Halos career as he was just acquired this past offseason.
In other pitching news, an ominous update is given by a bright pitcher who recently moved to the injured list. A velocity decrease was originally labeled as an 'off day,' but later turned into an IL stint.
