The Angels are moving Mike Trout out of center field for the first time since 2013 with the hope that it will preserve his health.

Mike Trout's days as a center fielder are over. The future Hall of Famer revealed Monday that he and the Los Angeles Angels have made the decision to move to right field in an effort to preserve his body. Trout has not played a position other than center field (and DH) since 2013. He has 17 career games in right field and none since 2012.

We came to the conclusion that I’m going to go to right field,” Trout said. “I like it. We’ll try it out and see where it goes.”
