Mike Trout is on the disabled list for the first time in his career and will have surgery Wednesday to repair the UCL in his left thumb.

The usual timetable for the injury is six to eight weeks.

"It's definitely the best course of action for him right now, and I think he's comfortable with the decision," Mike Scioscia said.

The Los Angeles Angels lost Andrelton Simmons to a similar thumb injury last season. He had surgery and was out slightly over five weeks.

Trout, 25, suffered the injury Sunday on a headfirst slide while trying to steal second base.
