As of May 30, Center-Fielder for the Los Angeles Angels and the best player in the majors, Mike Trout, was placed on the disabled list due to a torn UCL in his left thumb, which he suffered while sliding head-first into second base. On May 31, Trout underwent successful thumb surgery, yet he is still expected to be out of the game for six to eight weeks.

Officially, Trout is supposed to return at some point between July 14-26, a time period that falls after the All-Star Game, even though Trout has accumulated the third highest number of All-Star votes at (as of today) 1,155,356 votes.

Today, we asked people when Trout would return from the disabled list and play his first game back.

The most popular response was "July 18-23", with 31% of people surveyed providing this answer.
