Mike Trout looks to be heading to the disabled list for the first time in his career.

The Angels outfielder jammed his thumb while sliding into second base on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Trout tried to stay in the game but was eventually pulled, then underwent an MRI on Monday. It did not bring great news.

Surgery is on the table for the 25-year-old Trout and, if that's the chosen course of action, he could be out weeks.

Trout, who is the reigning AL MVP and has finished top two in MVP voting in each of his five full MLB seasons, is hitting .337 with 16 home runs (tied for most in the league) and 36 RBIs.
