Angels center fielder Michael Trout has been sidelined for nearly a month with a thumb injury, but his support has not waned on the 2017 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot.
Monday's final voting update revealed that Trout has garnered 2,559,173 votes, the second-most among American League outfielders. With four more days remaining to vote, Trout remains in line to earn a starting spot at the 2017 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, which will take place on July 9 at Marlins Park in Miami.

Before suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb, Trout recorded a 1.203 OPS with 16 home runs, 36 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 47 games. Trout's availability for the Midsummer Classic remains unclear, as he was projected to miss six to eight weeks while recovering from the injury. Still, he began hitting off a tee over the weekend and has said he believes a return before the All-Star break is possible.
