Description: Los Angeles Angels DH Mark Trumbo will be tested by Jeremy Guthrie as he's hitless in six at-bats versus the Royals starter.
Insight: Trumbo is batting .381 over his past five games and has 11 home runs this season to put him among the league leaders. This matchup, however, is not favorable.
 
Hot5/4/2013 8:54:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles DH Mark Trumbo has homered in five of the last six games.
Insight: Trumbo ripped 21 homers in a span of 46 games from May 27 to July 20 last year, so we know what he can do when he's hot. However, fantasy owners shouldn't be fooled by his .295 average when he has 33 strikeouts. He hit .306 with 65 strikeouts in 288 at-bats in the first half last season, but finished the season with a .268 average.
 
4/30/2013 11:06:00 AM
Description: Los Angeles DH Mark Trumbo is a career .100 hitter against A's pitcher Jarrod Parker with five strikeouts in 10 at-bats.
Insight: Trumbo has a hot bat, hitting .302 with four homers, including one on Monday night, and an .841 OPS. This matchup, however isn't a good one.
 
4/24/2013 10:12:00 AM
Description: Los Angeles DH Mark Trumbo is a career .167 hitter versus Texas starter Yu Darvish with six strikeouts and a .472 OPS.
Insight: Trumbo is rolling right now. He's had five multi-hit games in his last seven outings to raise his average from .279 to .316. However, he's not hitting the long ball and that isn't likely to turn around against Darvish. Sit him.
 
Hot4/21/2013 8:14:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles DH Mark Trumbo ended Sunday's marathon against the Tigers by hammering a 13th inning walkoff homer.
Insight: Trumbo is rolling right now. He's had five multi-hit games in his last seven outings to raise his average from .279 to .329. The 27-year-old is on pace for 19 HR and 86 RBI this season.
 
4/9/2013 10:29:00 AM
Description: Angels DH Mark Trumbo has an ugly history versus Oakland youngster Jarrod Parker, going hitless in eight at-bats including five strikeouts.
Insight: Trumbo had a couple of two-hit games over the weekend to bring his average to .280 with a homer and five RBI. Avoid this matchup.
 
4/7/2013 10:53:00 AM
Description: Angels DH Mark Trumbo was lost against Rangers righty Yu Darvish during Darvish's rookie season. He went 1-for-15 (.067) with five strikeouts against him.
Insight: Trumbo hit his first home run Saturday but he didn't perform well against Darvish last season and Darvish is coming off a near-perfect game against the Astros.
 
4/6/2013 7:54:00 PM
Description: Angels DH Mark Trumbo went 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBIs Saturday against Texas.
Insight: Trumbo hit 32 homers last season but 22 of them came before the All-Star break. He hit .227 with a .630 OPS in the second half.
 
12/13/2012 4:17:00 PM
Description: ESPN's Buster Olney says the Angels aren't looking to trade outfielder Mark Trumbo despite the team's signing of Josh Hamilton.
Insight: The Angels' lineup wouldn't be nearly as intimidating without Trumbo (.268, 32 HR, 95 RBI) hitting in the middle of the order. It seems like Peter Bourjos is the most likely Los Angeles outfielder to be traded this offseason. Bourjos had a quiet season (.220, 3 HR, 19 RBI in 168 at bats) but scouts like his speed and believe he'll be a solid contributor if given the chance to play on a daily basis.
 
9/30/2012 10:36:00 AM
Description: Angels outfielder Mark Trumbo has just one hit in 12 career at bats versus Rangers righthander Yu Darvish.
Insight: We don't anticipate Sunday being a particularly productive day for Trumbo, especially as he's hitting just .161 since the start of the month.
 
Cold9/23/2012 2:43:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles outfielder Mark Trumbo is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the White Sox.
Insight: Trumbo is 1-for-6 in the series. He's hitting a dismal .182 in 160 at bats since August 1st. Vernon Wells (.232, 11 HR, 28 RBI) will pick up the start in Trumbo's place.
 
Cold9/20/2012 11:40:00 AM
Description: Angels outfielder Mark Trumbo is 0-for-10 in his career against Texas righthander Yu Darvish.
Insight: Trumbo is hitting an embarrassing .114 this month and has seen his average slip to .264, the lowest it's been since Opening Day. Make sure he's on the bench Thursday with Darvish (15-9, 4.02 ERA) pitching.
 
Cold9/11/2012 8:54:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles outfielder Mark Trumbo won't be on the field Tuesday against Oakland.

9/10/2012 9:56:00 AM
Description: Angels outfielder Mark Trumbo has only faced Oakland rookie starter Jarrod parker six times, but he's failed to get on base all six times and struck out on four occasions.
Insight: Trumbo was a first half fantasy All-Star (.306, 22 HR, 57 RBI) and a second half bust, batting just .216 with a .613 OPS which is 352 points lower than before the break. He should be on your bench on Monday.

Description: Angels 1B/3B/OF Mark Trumbo is hitting .316 (6-for-19) against Seattle ace Felix Hernandez with two homers and a .947 OPS
Insight: Trumbo is in the middle of his best season in the bigs, batting .278 with 30 HR, 81 RBI and a .854 OPS. Start him despite Hernandez pitching extremely well of late.
 
8/21/2012 10:24:00 PM
Description: Angels 1B/3B/OF Mark Trumbo is hitting just .246 in the second half, but he does have eight homers in that span.
Insight: Trumbo has whiffed 44 times in 35 games since the All-Star break. He did have two hits and a homer Tuesday against Boston, but he has been mostly cold in the last month after a torrid first half.

Description: Los Angeles outfielder Mark Trumbo is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in his career against Texas righthander Yu Darvish.
Insight: Trumbo (.301, 27 HRs, 69 RBIs) hasn't homered for the Angels since July 20 and we're guessing that drought will continue Wednesday versus Darvish (11-7, 4.05 ERA).
