Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout said he is unlikely to compete in the upcoming Home Run Derby in Philadelphia because of his strained right hamstring.
Trout, however, expects to be able to participate in the All-Star Game on July 14, the night after the derby. He grew up in Millville, N.J., about an hour outside of Philadelphia.
Trout, 34, had played in 74 of 75 games this season prior to the setback, batting .234 with 17 homers and 36 RBIs.
Trout has 421 homers, 1,054 RBIs and 221 steals in 1,722 games over 16 seasons with the Angels.
