Mark Trumbo slugged his 10th home run of the season Saturday in the Angels' 12-9 win over the White Sox.
Trumbo's solo shot in the bottom of the fourth inning completely threw off White Sox starter Hector Santiago, who had been on a roll. Trumbo then added a run-scoring double in the fifth against White Sox reliever Nate Jones. Trumbo is currently on pace for 38 homers and 109 RBI, and he's talented enough to come at least somewhat close to those totals. May 18 - 8:10 PM

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo hit his ninth home run of the year, a three-run shot in the first inning, but the Angels lost to the Astros on Tuesday.

Trumbo's is one of the few bats in the Angels lineup that is hitting these days, and it's earned him a prime spot between Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton for the time being. Trumbo experienced a similar start to 2012 before cooling considerably in the second half, so it would be unwise to expect his production to remain at this level all year. But he hits for power and drives in runs, and while they're coming in bunches he's an obvious must-start in fantasy leagues.

Mark Trumbo hit his eighth home run of the season but the Angels lost to the Orioles on Saturday.

Trumbo now owns a gorgeous .295/.363/.557 batting line with eight home runs and 20 RBI through 30 games this year. He should be an offensive force all summer long.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo hit his third homer Friday and has reached base safely every game this season.

That's a very impressive streak for a guy who posted OBPs of .291 and .317 his first two seasons. He's currently at .351 this year. He's hit in 19 of 22 games and walked in the other three.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo hit a walk-off home run in the 13th inning of Sunday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

It was Trumbo's only hit of the night, but he walked twice over his six plate appearances. Trumbo should remain a reliable source of power throughout 2013. He's batting .329/.373/.500 in 17 games this season.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo has seven RBI in his first eight games.

The Angels haven't quite put it all together yet and currently own a 2-6 record. Trumbo, though, is batting .286 with an .810 OPS and one home run. He should be a reliable source of power throughout the 2013 season.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the Marlins are pushing for Mark Trumbo in trade talks with the Angels.

The Angels have all but ruled out trading Trumbo this offseason, but this essentially confirms a report by Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald that the Marlins aren't interested in Peter Bourjos. ESPN's Jim Bowden tweeted Monday that Ricky Nolasco could be a fit in Anaheim, though it's not clear whether they view him as an upgrade over their current starter options.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Angels are telling teams that Mark Trumbo is not available.

The Angels signed outfielder Josh Hamilton to a five-year, $125 million free agent contract on Thursday afternoon and would seem to have too many everyday-caliber players on their 25-man roster. But Trumbo has exceptional raw power and Anaheim doesn't want to give that up. Peter Bourjos could be traded away instead.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo is hitting just .174 with three homers over his last 36 games.

He has an ugly 58/9 K/BB ratio and a .472 OPS during the same time span. Angels manager Mike Scioscia is optimistic he'll be able to turn things around, but is open to giving playing time to others if his struggles continue. "When he finds it, he usually keeps it, and it can come quickly for him," said Scioscia. "We need him, and we’ll definitely give him enough chances to get there with the option of spotting Vernon or some other guys to give us a little boost if he continues to struggle." Vernon Wells should benefit, but there could also be an opening for Peter Bourjos to finally get some playing time.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo will receive a day off Tuesday.

Trumbo struck out on a couple head-high fastballs Monday, so Angels manager Mike Scioscia felt it would be a good time to give him a breather. Starting in his place will be Vernon Wells, who homered and reached base four times Monday.

Mark Trumbo snapped a nine-game homerless streak on Tuesday night against the Red Sox, smashing a two-run shot to lead the Angels to a 5-3 victory.

Trumbo finished the evening 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI. His towering blast off Aaron Cook in the fifth inning increased the Angels' lead to 5-0 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Trumbo is now hitting .286/.337/.549 with 30 homers and 77 RBI on the season.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo (upper back spasms) is back in the Angels' starting lineup on Tuesday night.

He will function as Anaheim's designated hitter. Trumbo missed Monday's game with a back ailment and may need more off-days as the summer winds down. Regardless, he's a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo is officially sidelined due to upper back spasms.

Trumbo originally said that a rib popped out of place while he was taking batting practice before Sunday's game. Either way, he's considered day-to-day.
