ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Troutleft the Los Angeles Angels' 8-3 loss Sundayin the eighth inning with a bruised right thumb after getting hit by a pitch from Cleveland reliever Tommy Hunter.

X-rays showed no broken bones for the 2014 AL MVP. After the game, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Troutis fine and should play Monday night against Minnesota.

Trout reacted in pain after the pitch hit him, and he consulted with Scioscia and the Angels' training staff before walking off the field. Shane Robinson ran for Trout at first base.

Trout had a single and two walks before wincing in pain and eventually leaving after Hunter's inside pitch hit him in his extended thumb, leaving the finger numb.

"It kind of scared me a little bit," Trout said. "It feels all right now."

Trout began the day batting .306 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs.
