Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Mark Trumbo, who has missed all of the 2019 season with a right knee injury, went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in his debut in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. The veteran has been a power threat before in his career, but, at this point in the season and given his age, Trumbo doesn't really have a place in fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) expects to play in five rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk around Aug. 27 and then come off the injured list to make his season debut. The 33-year-old has been out all season after having offseason knee surgery. Trumbo hit 47 homers in a season as recently as 2016, but he's been in quick decline since then and is no lock to hit the ground running next month for the O's. He might be a bit intriguing in AL-only leagues because of his power potential,...

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) is beginning a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday. Trumbo started a rehab assignment in June, but stopped after suffering a setback to his surgically repaired knee. Trumbo has been sidelined all season, but could return in mid-August. However, the Orioles will likely use him as a part-time player. He won't have much fantasy value outside from AL-only leagues once he's cleared to play.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) has resumed baseball activities and took batting practice on the field last weekend. However, there are no immediate plans for him to go on a rehab assignment, but the Orioles are hopeful he'll return this year. Trumbo was one of the elite power hitters in baseball just a few seasons ago, but a lot has changed since then. He hasn't played yet in 2019 after having offseason knee surgery, and he's no lock to play for Baltimore in the second half. Yo[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) felt soreness in his surgically-repaired right knee again and was scratched from the lineup at Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. He was given a platelet-rich plasma injection in the knee, and manager Brandon Hyde said that Trumbo would be shut down for seven to 10 days. It's frustrating since Trumbo was in the final stages of his 20-day rehab window. In eight games for Norfolk he was 6-for-28 (.214) with a home run and two RBI. The 33-year-old is in t[...]

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Mark Trumbo (knee) could return to the active roster this weekend if everything goes right. Trumbo is rehabbing his surgically-repaired right knee in Triple-A right now. He should be activated this weekend, assuming Trumbo doesn't suffer any setbacks. Renato Nunez has been playing well in the designated hitter role this season. Trumbo might be forced into a part-time player role, which will severely hurt his fantasy value.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) was in Baltimore on Monday to have his knee checked by head athletic trainer Brian Ebel, and the team must decide whether to activate him from the injured list if he's deemed ready. Trumbo's injury rehab assignment ends on June 16. The bad news for Trumbo is that Baltimore has only a three-man bench and a primary designated hitter in Renato Nunez, so he may not see much consistent playing time upon making his season debut this year after having o[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) joined Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday on his rehab assignment. Trumbo has gone 3-for-13 with a double in three games on his rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie, and he's getting closer to making his season debut for the O's. It'll likely come later this month. Trumbo, 33, played in only 90 games in 2018 because of his knee, but don't forget that he had 23 home runs in 2017 and a career-high 47 for Baltimore back in 2017. [...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) said he'll start a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday. The hope is that his surgically repaired right knee responds well enough for him to be re-evaluated in mid-June. Trumbo hasn't had any pain in his knee while at extended spring training, so that's a good sign. Those in deeper mixed leagues in need of some pop in their lineups might want to keep an eye on Trumbo as he nears a return to the big leagues. He won't hit for much average[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) is nearing a rehab assignment, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Trumbo's knee is recovering well from time at first base and in the outfield in extended spring training. It's good news for an Orioles offense that can use all the help they can get these days. Trumbo is unlikely to help fantasy owners out in the average department, but the 33-year-old had a career-high 47 home runs in 2016 and could be a decent source of power in deeper leagues wh[...]
